Pregnant moms what are you doing for workouts?
I'm just running right now - nothing crazy about 30 minute jogs 5 days a week.
-
I did the 15 minute prenatal pilates dvd.
-
Absolutely not... I am waayyy too tired right now. I know it will help me not be so tired but I can't even!
-
right now, nothing heavier than walking. but since i am no longer ill all the time, i am going to go back to spinning 2x a week, and add in some prenatal yoga.
-
Not at the moment, I was doing the elliptical for 30 minutes 6 days a week but got too tired. I'm trying to find the motivation to start again but I just want to nap.
-
30 day shred.
-
Until about two weeks ago I was doing spinning once or twice a week, walking on the treadmill, doing the elliptical or stair master once or twice a week and going to a weights class. Now that I've gotten pretty big (almost 32 weeks) the biking has gotten super awkward! So I am doing less these days, just elliptical or treadmill a few times a week and some yoga.
-
Ummm... No. Unless running after a toddler counts.
-
I'm much more active this pregnancy than my last one and I feel really good. I do prenatal yoga once a week, 40-60 minute walks 3-5x/week and a ballet-type class once a week. I have also gained much less weight - about 7lbs less than at the same point with my first.
-
@lioneyes: @CakeLady: for spinning do you wear a monitor? Or just go by how you feel?
-
Yep! I spend 40mins with a book on the elliptical 3x/week. Though I do take a day off if I'm not feeling well enough (more than I would've pre-preg). This week I've been getting over being sick, so I haven't gone.
-
@Weagle: ditto. I can hardly imagine doing anything else.
-
Still working out 4 days per week but mostly the elliptical or bike plus weights. I'm actually working out more now than I was before I got pregnant this time! Haha.
-
@winniebee: I wore a monitor before I was pregnant, so I wear it now too - but to make sure I am keeping my HR low enough. However, I usually will start to feel a little lightheaded at the same time my heart rate gets toward the high end, so I could probably do without.
-
@MrsF: @Weagle: I have a toddler as well and maybe will not want to work out as I get bigger. We go together with the jogging stroller!
But yes chasing after a toddler is a work out!
-
@Weagle: Yes! Chasing and lifting a toddler everyday is my exercise for now.
-
@winniebee: I'm impressed! Although honestly it's the horrible moring sickness and exhaustion more than the toddler that are getting to me. Looking forward to second tri!
-
My work out is packing my 25lb 10 month old around and crawling around after him.
-
That's pretty darn good! I am walking daily and doing prenatal yoga.
-
Does running after a toddler count?
-
@winniebee no, i'm going to go by how i feel, sit by a fan, and take it easy on the jumps.
-
I'm so impressed with all you ladies who work out while pregnant!
I'm with the ladies who get their exercise chasing after a toddler
