exercise

What kinds of exercise are you doing during your pregnancies? I'd like to workout but don't want to over do it.

Running, yoga, insanity videos with a bit of modification,  elliptical, and lots of outdoor stuff- hiking, snowshoeing,  etc.  I was very active before and doc says exercise like before as long as u continue to tolerate it well.  Also no fall risk, so no more snowboarding, mountain biking.

Zumba,  yoga, and walking.  I've been doing Zumba for 3 years and my instructor said no jumping or spinning (not that we spin much) so I'm just modifying some of the steps so I can keep up. My doc said that since I was already used to it and was modifying my movements I'd be fine.

I walk and do some stretching. Lots of heavy ish lifting unfortunately! My lo is about thirty pounds and still wants carried up and down stairs most of the time. I'm looking into belly dancing because I've heard it's really good during labor.

I do Pure Barre a few times a week. Sometimes I'm just too fatigued to do it, but I try.

I swim and do a fitness class twice a week. Swimming is an hour each day. The fitness class involves running laps, squats, kettle balls, planks, etc.

I was athletic going in and plan to maintain but I go for walks every now and then too.
