Kalyra may avoid or modify this exercise when:
- JumpingKalyra holds back jumping movements for pregnancy stages and recovery windows, and excludes them entirely when you trained with noise-sensitive neighbors in mind.
- High-impact workJumping and landing exercises are held back — medical guidance favors low impact in later pregnancy (evidence-mandated), and Kalyra applies the same caution to early postpartum, joint sensitivities and quiet-friendly training as product policy.
