Kalyra may avoid or modify this exercise when:
- Loaded wristsKalyra holds back exercises that load the wrists when you've flagged wrist sensitivity.
- 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.
