I'm going to the gym 5 days a week. I stopped running but I do the bike on the hills program. N I lift weights. Just abt everything I did b4 except a few exercises I had to stop. But I do squats with 50 lbs, arm presses push ups back exercises .. just abt everything. I'm 29 weeks
In my own experience, do workout. Before pregnancy I would do yoga every day, plus dancing and some random cardio as Zumba.. When I got pregnant I changed my routine for a more "pregnant - friendly" one, like walking, aqua gym... Then I just stopped all workout. Not only I felt terrible the last weeks pregnant but I also gained lot more weight and now it's just so hard to go back to being active...
I used to be a fitness fanatic until I found out I was pregnant.. Now I'm 9 weeks and don't train, and feel so bad about it.. But it's my choice.. I just want to get out of the "red zone" (=1 trimester) first, and then get back to it.. Read that walking is good... But I sure miss weight room ...
I also am still going to the gym. I am 16 weeks and 5 days. I go on the eliptical, bike and walk on the treadmill.
I've wanted to go back to the gym but my inlaw wants me to wait until after I give birth....The doctor told me it's ok but since I'm high risk all I do is walk to every place I got to go so that is my exercise....keep up the good work try not to push yourself so hard...
That's what I do as well. Swimming is also great. It's fantastic exercise with less strain on your joints because the water takes a lot of the weight off them.
