I am 12 weeks and have felt awful and nauseous for the last 6 weeks so I'm lucky if I get in a walk in the evening. I'm hoping to go back to the gym when I feel better (please god let that be soon!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308686 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:09:04 +0000 Minnie_Girl 308686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until about three months ago, yes. I looked and felt like a BAMF! During the second tri I was hardly home, so I pretty much moved the exercise to home instead of the gym. I feel good and can sense that my body doesn't want or need the hardcore workouts in the third tri. </p> <p>It's actually kind of nice to be taking it easy for now. It feels like my body is resting up before a marathon. But, it will be even nicer to run and lift like I did before the belly showed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308669 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:50:07 +0000 sunny 308669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't find the time either! I am totally one of those people who owns a gym membership and goes 2x a year :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308620 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:05:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 308620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um, nope. I'll admit it. </p> <p>my exercise is walking around the block (which is actually a mile!) or laps around target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308618 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:04:58 +0000 kml636 308618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Highwire: Thanks! It's definitely getting harder ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308553 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:27:41 +0000 DillonLion 308553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: Props! I'm barely walking around Target comfortably at 31 weeks LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308552 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:27:12 +0000 kml636 308552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love working out, last week I did a 7.5 mile hike at 32 weeks pregnant. I really hope I can get back into it after LO arrives, but I've heard it's so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308548 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:26:20 +0000 DillonLion 308548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Ditto. This is the first time I've ever been without a gym membership in my adult life. It feels really weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308546 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:25:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 308546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was working out before I got pregnant and then cancelled my membership to save money after finding out we were expecting. We take long walks nightly, but that's all I do. I do plan on joining the gym again to lose the baby weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308490 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:00:14 +0000 Alivoo01 308490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-wedding, I worked out 5 days a week at 5am because that was my only free time. Then I became a bum bum for awhile until we got the Kinect. I play/workout on that ocassionally with evening 3+ mile walks with the hubby whenever we got a chance (maybe once a week). We recently started doing bootcamp, but don't know how long that will last! I need a "teacher" to push me so I enjoy classes or the Wii EA Active: More workouts. They register and count your reps so there's no slacking allowed like home videos (e.g. 30 day shred). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308441 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:37:24 +0000 littlek 308441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I run 3 miles 6 days a week with LO in a running stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308431 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:34:09 +0000 JessiBee 308431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, when I can drag myself out of bed in the mornings, that's when I usually go. I've managed to keep it up (down to about 2-3 times a week from 4-5) since getting pregnant, just slowed down/lightened my routine a lot. I keep trying to convince myself to go more often, but the exhaustion (and this being the busy season at work = trying to go in earlier) has made it hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308412 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:25:36 +0000 MamaMoose 308412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a runner before getting PG and would usually run 3 days a week and weight train 2 or 3 times. At the beginning of my pregnancy I just felt AWFUL and couldn't get to the gym. From 11 weeks on I've had periodic spotting and I'm now on modified bedrest (only allowed to work) since having pre term contractions at 26 weeks. So working out has just not been safe for me. I CAN NOT WAIT to start working out again once the baby gets here. We belong to a really nice family YMCA and they have great child care so I have no excuse! Plus I bought a BOB and if I don't put a lot of miles on that thing my husband will not be a happy camper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308407 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:22:44 +0000 Smurfette 308407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I workout about 4 x a week. Total slacker on the weekends though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308391 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:15:41 +0000 aMohror 308391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsaudi: I'm struggling with this right now! I just started last week and I would start as soon as dh came home from work so he could watch lo. Then we ended up eating so late and I wouldn't want to cook that late. This week I'm going to attempt to get up at 4 or 5 while Lo is still asleep since I can't seem to do it with her during the day. Trying to balance everything out sure is hard! I'm not giving up yet though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308389 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:14:39 +0000 DillonLion 308389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've dragged my butt to the gym for years and done extremely hard workouts while I am there a majority of the time. During pregnancy, I've taken the opportunity to scale back and just enjoy light exercise. I try to do yoga, walk, and/or swim about 2-3x a week, but many weeks I have only done something active maybe once. I'm okay with it. </p> <p>After the baby is born I plan on getting back to it by working out (HARD!) during my lunch break at work. I'm hoping to arrange for an extended lunch break by going into the office earlier in the morning. I hate early morning workouts and I expect I will want to spend time with LO after daycare and take care of household stuff in the evenings, so lunch time will be my only shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308381 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:10:30 +0000 Running Elley 308381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I got pregnant I worked out every day. I usually ran, took a spin class or did weights. In the first tri I cut wayyyyyyyy back but I kept up walking. I'm still walking 3-4 times a week and doing light weights now at 37 weeks. I can't wait until I can get a GOOD workout again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308378 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:09:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 308378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work out 4x/week. I go in the mornings (like, 5am) because that's the only time of the day that I have time and energy to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308375 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:09:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 308375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!! Moreso since I had DS, now I'm at the gym about 2x a week but I want to get there at least 3x. I went today :)</p> <p>I like to do the classes - today I did one called RIPPED. I also like zumba, latin hip hop, turbo kick and pilates. I like the classes as it gives me a better cardio workout than I can go on my own and pushes me beyond my comfort zone. Whereas when I run, I can stop anytime - I find I don't push myself as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308369 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:05:44 +0000 tororojo 308369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never work out, pregnant or not. I try to go on long walks/hikes when I can, but that's about all the exercise I can get down with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308358 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:02:14 +0000 PrincessBaby 308358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 30 weeks preg and have been doing good keeping up with my workouts (3-4x week, 30 mins elliptical &amp; 30-40 mins weights) but it's getting tougher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-out#post-308325 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:50:49 +0000 Springtime 308325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want/need to so bad! Can't seem to find the time! What about you? </p>
