I read a really great book called Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. Cost me $12 I think. It outlined exercise, lifting, myths, nutrition, macros.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anybody-tried-tone-it-up#post-1836929 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 11:49:53 +0000 smith 1836929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently learned about Tone It Up (ToneItUp.com) and was super inspired by the billions of testimonials and strong sense of community, plus a few of my pals on social media are into it and I have a serious fear of missing out. </p> <p>(OK, and the two gals who started TIU are smart and gorgeous and I want to look half as good as they do in a swimsuit.)</p> <p>I joined the free part of the site, but apparently the "official" membership is $150 - there is no renewal fee, you get a 200-something page nutrition/exercise plan, and also can post on the members'-only boards. Seems kind of pricey when I already have access to some recipes &amp; workouts, right?</p> <p>Wondering if anyone here has tried this OR thought about joining. Is the $150 membership fee worth it? I'm ready to get healthy and love my body, just not sure this is the best option out there. </p> <p>THANK YOU in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-108319 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:32:21 +0000 HLK208 108319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, that thread was interesting but when I read your OP, I thought it was a good idea! I'm 30 weeks along now. I still try to walk a mile 3 days a week but it's starting to get harder since baby sits so low--I feel constant pressure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-108076 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:46:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 108076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: haha yeah:) it wasn't a push present cause I decided after that thread that I didn't want to tell my husband to get me something, I left it up to him. And I blonde I'd need new shoes regardless.<br /> How far along are you? I remember getting to the point where I was too scared to take walks on my own for fear of not making it back home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-108064 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:26:12 +0000 HLK208 108064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woohoo! I remember you posting about wanting running shoe's as a push present on the WB :) I cannot wait to get back in shape even though I'm still pregnant. I miss going for long run's to destress or even long walks have been hard lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107962 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:21:01 +0000 singingbee 107962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: My sisters and I are going to run a color run in June. I think they are all trying to come up with events to do in the summer months as we get closer and closer to my due date. I looked it up and am super excited about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107934 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:28:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 107934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed just being able to push myself every workout. I'm still having trouble finding the time to get the workouts in but it feels good when I actually do them. </p> <p>Yay for you and getting your running shoes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107932 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:26:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 107932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I don't always enjoy it either, but I REALLY want to be at a healthier weight. I actually have never enjoyed running but I'm hoping to change that.<br /> My favorite workouts are the classes at the Y like zumba, body step and yoga.<br /> @lilteacherbee: Oh good for you! I signed up for The Color Run in July in order to motivate me to run!<br /> : @chopsuey119: Oh that is great! I hope to get to that level where I can run 3-5 miles 3x a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107926 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:18:33 +0000 singingbee 107926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I went and walked today at the gym. I didn't gain a lot of weight, but I did gain about 5-10 lbs. Now I'm ready to get back to pre-pregnancy weight or a little less. By then, we should be able to start trying again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107918 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:05:14 +0000 chopsuey 107918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: I can't wait to lose the rest of my weight! I'm still holding on to about 10 lbs. All my clothes fit, but my body's changed!<br /> DH got me a Bob, so I really should start running again! I used to run 3-5miles 5x a week before I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107916 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:01:39 +0000 lilteacherbee 107916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, I love running! DH and I are actually doing a 5K tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107856 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:24:53 +0000 heffalump 107856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! I don't like to exercise. Jealous of those of you who do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-bought-my-running-shoes#post-107846 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:46:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 107846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 5.5 weeks pp and just had my 6-week appt. We stopped qt a running store after and got me some running shoes! Asics gel cumulus- they are great! So excited to start running soon.</p> <p>What workouts did you miss most while pregnant, or which are you most looking forward to?</p> <p>I cannot wait to fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1050 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:07:32 +0000 winniebee 1050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said I could keep up my workouts when I was pregnant and that my body would tell me if and when I should slow down (she said they used to say to keep heartrate around 140, but they now just say listen to your body).</p> <p>Pre-pregnancy and while TTC, I worked out 5 days a week including running and weights. I am only 5 weeks pregnant, but plan to work out for as long as I feel like I can! So far, I have worked out 3-4 times a week and have run and used the elliptical at the gym. I have noticed I am much more winded so have been going a little slower but it feels good to be working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1047 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:06:53 +0000 Iiamsn01 1047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got prego I walked to/from work (minus an inbetween trolley ride) everyday until the end of my pregnancy that is about the most I worked out. It didn't seem like much but it really helped me keep my weight down and recovery. I have already started walking again to prep for ttc for #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1045 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:00:21 +0000 LivsMama 1045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep up with your routine, but don't get into a new one that's more intense. I was very active prior to pregnancy, so I was in the gym 3-4 times a week doing spin classes, yoga, elliptical, etc until 34 weeks when they pulled me bc of issues. My dr just told me t o keep my heart rate under 160- but he based that on my level of activity and resting HR from prior to pregnancy. A Lot of drs say 140-150 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1032 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 21:53:54 +0000 singingbee 1032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluestriped Bee--That's what I'm worried about. I know I need to workout and lose some more weight, but I want to at least do something because I am overweight so I want to avoid some issues that might come of it. </p> <p>I figure if I have some sort of routine going, then maybe I'll go. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1022 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 18:19:05 +0000 BSB 1022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I read somewhere that you should keep your exercise routine the same as you did before you got pregnant. Well, if you are very active, that you should lower it. </p> <p>This reminds me that I need to start going back to the gym. I used to go the gym. I stopped a couple months ago but I need to go back because I want to be on some type of exercise routine when we start TTC. Although, I'm pretty sure I might not want to workout while I'm pregnant because I've heard that being pregnant makes you tired.</p> <p>I'm curious, too, about what the current mommies say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1019 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 12:24:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i worked out three times a week until i was 8 months pregnant with charlie. this time around i didn't work out at all, but chasing charlie was workout enough!</p> <p>you can definitely continue working out regularly once you're pregnant. i just lowered the intensity (i used to love kickboxing), didn't do crunches/stomach exercises, and didn't run as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-did-you-work-out#post-1018 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 11:40:30 +0000 singingbee 1018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are not pregnant, but in hopes of helping us TTC, we are both working out and have started a much healthier lifestyle. How realistic is that I can keep working out regularly once we get a BFP? </p>
