I walked regularly too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2143270 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:05:03 +0000 plantains 2143270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy 1- I didn't really work out because I was just being lazy</p> <p>Pregnancy 2 - Twins and my lifestyle is pretty active with tons of walking daily so I am too paranoid about preterm labour to throw in any workouts.</p> <p>I'll get back on the horse when the babes arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2143249 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:42:50 +0000 avivoca 2143249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped running at 5 weeks because of cramping and stopped barre workouts at 8 weeks because I was so tired (and because one of the teachers made a comment about how your measurements should be decreasing instead of increasing). I continued walking until it got too hot. I hope that next time I can continue to be active throughout the entire pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2143212 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:23:40 +0000 FunnyBunny87 2143212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was walking instead of going to the gym since I learned about my pregnancy. I cannot say it completely replaces working out, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2143210 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:22:44 +0000 Mae 2143210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: :) Honestly I stopped at like 6 or 7 weeks. I had been jogging a few times/week but MS hit me and I couldn't stand it anymore. I meant to start again once it subsided but then just.... didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2143204 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:19:56 +0000 LindsayInNY 2143204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mae: I had to reread your comment before getting it. And then LOLed! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant/page/2#post-2143189 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:11:33 +0000 Mrs. Taco 2143189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD I worked out consistently until the end. I had to stop running around 24 weeks because it really just felt weird and not enjoyable, I just moved to other forms of cardio. I just found out I am expecting and I really need to resume my routine now...I recently ran a 10k and have consistently worked out 5-6 days a week but this past week I have been SOOOOO tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2143188 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:10:20 +0000 Mae 2143188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>approximately 4 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2143182 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:07:37 +0000 CakeLady 2143182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I stopped spinning because my belly started getting in the way and with the extra weight the bike seat was putting too much pressure on my ladybits. It was somewhere between 30-32 weeks when it just got too uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2143140 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:45:58 +0000 MamaCate 2143140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still working out this time at 26 weeks. I worked out at the gym up until my due date with #1--zumba, elliptical, treadmill, some weights just to maintain toning. I stopped going to kickboxing early on and stopped increasing the weights. I felt great!</p> <p>This time I am working out with dvds/you tube at home about three times a week. I have been less consistent this time but am still trying. Right now I am doing denise austin prenatal cardio and toning, plus hikes and walks on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2143135 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:41:38 +0000 Eko 2143135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I definitely keep the resistance lower then I normally do and so far there is one position I can no longer do because my belly gets in the way, but it is easily modifiable. I find it is still really comfortable because I am either sitting or, while out of the seat, the weight is removed from my back. As long as my legs are still strong enough to prevent me from bouncing around, I'm good. I think you'll probably be able to keep up with it for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2143116 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:31:33 +0000 LindsayInNY 2143116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: Out of curiosity, what made you stop spinning? I've been doing it all along but wondering how long to continue!</p> <p>@meredithNYC: I've been spinning and taking a barre class once a week. I make quite a few modifications but think I could continue until the end!</p> <p>@Eko: It's the spinning that I'm wondering about! I figure I'll just keep going as long as I can (sorta) keep up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2143082 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:20:25 +0000 Anagram 2143082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both pregnancies, I was way too sick the first trimester into the second trimester to do anything except lay around in misery during my downtime. But with LO #1, once my MS went away at 17 weeks, I started working out (mainly elliptical and some weights, sometimes doing bike or treadmill) and worked out 2-3 times a week until I delivered.</p> <p>This time, I am still having MS at 22 weeks and I'm starting to think it's never going away. Therefore, I have not been to the gym even once. Even taking my daughter to the park 2 blocks away basically ruins me and I have to sit a lot because I feel ill.

I only stopped when I was in labor. This pregnancy it's been a lot harder to build any workout momentum. I'm mainly walking trying to get 8-10k steps a day but I fall short a lot of days (especially now that we're potty training and homebound). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142979 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:17:58 +0000 edelweiss 2142979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with LO #1, i did prenatal yoga and summer sanders' workout up until labor, about a few times a week. this time, i don't think i can do yoga anymore because i've been feeling a lot more pelvic bone strain and yoga seems to aggravate it. trying to make up for it with more cardio, but definitely not working out as much as last time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142924 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 06:27:39 +0000 meredithNYC 2142924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: do it!

I found it really helped with lower back pain and also just made me feel better and helped me sleep. I didn't change the routine but did slow the pace on the cardio machines towards the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142900 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 05:59:48 +0000 blackbird 2142900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: the idea of a swim sounds AMAZING right now at this stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142854 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 01:14:53 +0000 lamariniere 2142854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1 I swam 3 times per week until 37 weeks and then just walked a lot after that.</p> <p>With LO2, I only had time for walking and probably walked at least 2 miles a day until the very end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142840 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 23:55:09 +0000 birdofafeather 2142840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: Also did Barre (Dailey Method) until right before I delivered. Only stopped a week before because I got the flu. I loved it and need to get back into with this pregnancy because I feel like a blob instead of the strong pregnant lady I was last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142802 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 22:11:37 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2142802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 31 weeks now and am still playing competitive tennis 2-3 days a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142767 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:19:51 +0000 Mrs. J 2142767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS, I danced until 22 weeks, and then mostly walked etc. this time, I've been sporadic at best, but life with a toddler is exhausting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142722 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:31:11 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2142722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a cold at around 33w and never got my strength back for the elliptical. After that I did prenatal yoga for a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142708 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:11:35 +0000 Eko 2142708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I am still doing a combination of spin, elliptical, and light weights. I plan on doing those things until I go into labor or it causes too much physical stress, but at just over 31w I'm still feeling good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142697 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:00:30 +0000 Smurfette 2142697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up till my water broke. I was down to just light weights and walking on the treadmill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142678 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 19:35:31 +0000 californiadreams 2142678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a stairmaster (cardio machine) at home and used it somewhat regularly all the way through my second trimester. Though I had to start lowering the intensity level as time went on as I couldn't keep up. Then in my third tri I stopped it altogether but that also coincided with getting a full time job so I'm not sure if I would have worked out more if i stayed part time. So third tri my exercise was reduced a few evening walks/week with DH at a slow pace...I also did prenatal yoga pretty regularly in my third tri </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142636 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 18:40:06 +0000 simplyfelicity 2142636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: Haha, that's the one I have! And I accidentally ordered two off amazon...I meant to get started after first trimester yuckiness but it didn't happen. I guess better late than never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142634 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 18:38:03 +0000 PawPrints 2142634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: It's a YouTube workout. I like it because it's divided into a bunch of ten-minute mini-workouts so you can mix and match based on what you feel up to that day / what you feel like you need to focus on.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ccd8VDTEc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ccd8VDTEc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-work-out-while-pregnant#post-2142631 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 18:36:05 +0000 simplyfelicity 2142631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: Which pilates DVD?

I also just got a free one week trial gym membership so I can go swimming. And so I can figure out if I'd want a real membership there post baby. </p>
