Makes me feel better about all the cake and pizza I eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise/page/2#post-2625826 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:33:57 +0000 winniebee 2625826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes working out is a huge stress reliever for me. Running has gotten me through the last few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise/page/2#post-2625812 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:23:39 +0000 psw27 2625812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I'm pretty miserable when I don't get exercise. I commute on foot about 4 miles a day plus I go to the gym four days a week at lunch. Before I got pregnant I was running a lot (did a marathon) but I'm sort of injured and super sick in the first trimester so I'm taking it easy right now and sticking with cycling and yoga mostly. I can't wait to feel better 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise/page/2#post-2625795 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:10 +0000 petunia354 2625795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do fitness blender workouts at home 5 days a week. I like that DS can attempt do them with me if he wants, and I hope seeing me do it will encourage him to be active as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625728 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 16:07:15 +0000 MrsKoala 2625728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I don't go to the gym. I like to do team sports but I have to take a break for a while since I just had a baby and won't be healed in time to play this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625686 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:38:24 +0000 theotherstark 2625686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never been a huge fan of working out. I did tons of sports growing up, but I never liked just running or going to a gym. I do lots of long walks with my dog, but I don't really count that. </p> <p>But since my son was born, I was feeling really run down and sluggish from all the lack of sleep, lack of exercise, etc. So I've been going to barre class almost every day for the last six months, and I'm pretty obsessed. I love that it's a class that I pay for (which forces me to go. Haha!!), I love the environment and the people there, and I love the workouts. I always feel so good and energized afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625617 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:50:42 +0000 avivoca 2625617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: I've found that applying hand sanitizer to my underarms and using baby wipes really helps cut down on the body funk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625610 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:42:58 +0000 lilteacherbee 2625610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did before I got pregnant. Currently in the first tri with 2 kids under 3, sooo not so much right now. I do enjoy running and weights at the gym! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625605 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:39:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2625605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I've been very disciplined with it since I finished nursing school in December<br /> I do a lot of circuit training, weight training, and running.<br /> I'm pregnant now, so I haven't been as disciplined and only getting there 1-2x a week. I'm just so tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625599 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:35:58 +0000 MrsB2012 2625599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before this pregnancy, i was doing pretty well, going 3-4 times a week to crossfit. Now I'm lucky if I go 1-2 x a week.<br /> I either go at 12 on my split shift, or at 6am if I'm off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625551 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:58:14 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2625551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been an intermittent exerciser since LO was born (almost 16 mos ago! :shocked: ) after having been a very regular exerciser before pregnancy. I just did my first gym workout today &amp; while I got called to the nursery to pick up LO 5 mins before the class ended, I feel like it was SO good for both of us &amp; can't wait to go back! :happy:<br /> Eta: I generally walk or plan on gym classes mid morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625543 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:52:42 +0000 madger 2625543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! I'm a runner and I'm still running 4-5 days a week at 21 weeks pregnant. it's always been a big part of my "me" time in my life, and that hasn't changed throughout pregnancies and the first 2 years of our 1st child's life! I usually go out at 5am so I can be done before everyone else wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625489 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:18:36 +0000 youboots 2625489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walk at least 3-4 miles a day. Not sure if that counts as a workout </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625487 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:17:52 +0000 LulaBee 2625487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@csross217: We have a "fitness closet" in my building. It's like, 2 treadmills and 2 ellipticals. I squeeze between them and do my FB workouts on my phone- then just spend the rest of the day sweaty and stinky. It's really the only time I have to workout so I just spray some body spray and rock the red face, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625485 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:16:19 +0000 avivoca 2625485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@csross217: When mine was little, I went running right after she went to bed. I just couldn't commit to getting up early when I was already waking up a bunch overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625478 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:09:23 +0000 csross217 2625478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was diligent about working out while pregnant, but I've been struggling to find the time now with my 5 month old. I already get so little sleep that the thought of waking up earlier makes me want to cry! I do go to a pole fitness class once a week after work and try to get out for walks before dinner.</p> <p>@LulaBee: I'd love to exercise on my lunch break, but don't quite know how! Do you go to the gym? Just try not to get sweaty or have to take a shower before going back to work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625461 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:59:32 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2625461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: well one time, when DD2 had just started walking, I didn't realize she was behind me and I knocked her to ground with my butt while doing squats. Haha. So now I feel a little extra cautious when they are around. I'm scared I'm going to knock somebody out! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625458 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:56:47 +0000 Anya 2625458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I often do a workout video at home while my daughter is awake. She either ignores me or thinks it's hilarious and tries to sit on me.. what's 20lbs extra resistance? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625457 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:56:25 +0000 alphagam84 2625457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I workout about 5 days a week. I do weights 2X a week at the work gym (it is really nice!) during lunch and cardio in the mornings or after work-it all depends on DD's schedule and the weather in NC. If it's too hot I don't go after work which is my preferred time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625453 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:53:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2625453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I just tried cam lol gladiator with a friend last week. It wa super fun! But my nearest one is still 30 minutes from a my house....<br /> So I workout at home. Which I get is totally easier because I SAH and both my kids still nap at the same time. That will be ending soon, as DD already refuses to nap at least once a week. So I'm going to have to learn to do it with an audience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625449 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:49:51 +0000 KayKay 2625449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a miserable person to be around when I am not consistently exercising! When not pregnant, I do a combination of running, cycling, and/or yoga. Plus other active things (hiking, etc). When pregnant, I usually stick to lower impact after the second trimester...more yoga, elliptical, walking, and hiking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625427 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:34:27 +0000 sarac 2625427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm super active. I'm a person who feels miserable when I can't move around. I've been dealing with an injury, so the most exercise I've gotten recently is the walk to school twice a day (about a mile each way), which is making me nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625392 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:09:56 +0000 catlady 2625392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do bar style workouts at home (online or DVDs). I usually work out 3x per week, early in the morning (DH and I switch off our mornings, so he gets 3 and I get 3, and we both take Sunday off). I'm oddly somewhat better at sticking to it while pregnant (after first tri nausea/exhaustion is over), so I've been pretty diligent lately. </p> <p>I also have a walking commute, so I walk about an hour 5x per week, no matter what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625389 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:07:26 +0000 KT326 2625389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: my last company had an onsite gym and I loved it! They had a cardio kickboxing class once a week that I absolutely loved. And so true about facetime, I had a lot of VP's in my lunch time class. </p> <p>My current company does not have a gym so I usually try to walk for 30 minutes on my lunch. I can get almost 2 miles done. I was also doing 30 minutes beachbody workouts at home before I got pregnant. The first trimester sucked the life out of my and now at 26 weeks I think I'm going to try and do some light cardio and weights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625375 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:54:38 +0000 runnerd 2625375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I run 4-5x a week. I also TRY to do barre, yoga, or light free weights 2-3x a week, but it's usually more like 0-1x a week lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625370 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:47:38 +0000 Bibliolove 2625370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will walk during my lunch break, or walk with DH at home after work. I also use the elliptical during the winter and bike ride in the summer. </p> <p>I like exercise classes, but those are a barrier to working out for me. I need something easy and close. We have an on-site gym at work, but I don't like to sweat during the workday. :/ I used to go there after work though, before we got an elliptical for home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625366 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:44:49 +0000 MediaNaranja 2625366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I aim for around 30 minutes/day. I just use YouTube videos. I keep telling myself to do it in the morning before getting ready for work, but I'm usually too cozy to get up and wind up doing it after work instead :silly: But at least I'm doing it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625354 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:29:58 +0000 petunia354 2625354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-6 days per week of fitness blender workouts. I love them and love being able to do it at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise#post-2625349 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:13:55 +0000 arosebyany 2625349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also love fitness blender workouts! I'm currently on week 4 of a 12 week program I made. I like to break things up into 3 month programs so I can do before and after photos! Also I've given up my beloved wine, for this particular challenge lol. Im down 5lbs so far, but I can tell I'm putting on a bunch of muscles in my legs. I still have 30lbs left to lose from pregnancy. I really do feel like a totally different person when I'm regularly excersizing and eating clean.</p> <p>Forgot to add I'm doing it with a Neighbor that's also a stay at home mom so our workout time ranges anywhere from 9am to 3pm depending on the day. </p>
