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>
