I'd like to do at least 3, but I really feel it taking its toll on me when I work out harder. I guess carrying around the extra weight makes any workout harder? I also walk to work...it's a little less than a half mile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356845 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:30:23 +0000 matador84 356845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked out every day pre-pregnancy, during my pregnancy i had complications and couldn't workout and could barely even walk, and now i'm almost 8 weeks post-partum and still haven't hit the gym but am dying too. wondering if LO is too little for the gym childcare after seeing that thread now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356833 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:21:21 +0000 Springtime 356833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never =/ i need to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356664 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:09:47 +0000 tlcbaby 356664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cherrybee - that is awesome! </p> <p>Pre-pregnancy I was working out everyday, I spent the spring/summer training for a triathlon so I was doing a lot of running, swimming and cycling and also going to CrossFit.</p> <p>Now that there is a baby in my belly I am trying to do yoga once a week, CrossFit once or twice a week and run, swim or cycle a couple times a week. It usually ends up being 3-4 days a week of exercise.</p> <p>I definitely hope to ramp it back up post-baby! Maybe pick another triathlon to train for so I have a goal in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356651 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:02:53 +0000 MediaNaranja 356651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! I don't have a regular exercise routine, but I bike or walk almost everywhere I go. It has made an enormous difference (lost about 20 lbs since the beginning of summer) without changing much else in terms of diet, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356648 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:02:37 +0000 Turd Ferguson 356648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good job. I've decided that once we get back from our honeymoon next Friday, I'm signing up for November. I used to work out a LOT, then I realized I didn't really enjoy it so I stopped. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356646 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:02:04 +0000 mamabolt 356646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome, good for you! Pre-baby I worked out 3-4 days a week. I was also doing that from about six weeks pp till the end of my maternity leave. I've been back at work a month now and have worked out zero times. There just aren't enough hours in the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356631 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:58:30 +0000 Cherrybee 356631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @mrscastro: Yup! I have about 25lb to lose to get me into a healthy weight range. DH has about 50lb. It's a lot, huh?! </p> <p>Thanks for all the support, everyone! Wow, some of you do a lot of exercise!!! @sweetchic: Go you!!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356615 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:53:29 +0000 blackbird 356615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hooray for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356605 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:49:44 +0000 MrsCastro 356605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: i had the same question Dr. Google said there are 14pounds in 1 stone...@Cherrybee: is that correct?</p> <p>i joined a new gym 5 minutes from my house about a month ago and still havent gone in, granted it just opened last week. The gym is open 24hours so i need to go and get my key fob so i can have access....oh the joy.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356465 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:01:54 +0000 Bookish 356465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for y'all! My DH and I go for fast walks every day and lift weights every other day. We don't do intensive workouts because then it becomes a chore! One year of 'working out' later... and we are 25-30 pounds down each and still goin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356418 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:49:13 +0000 alayaya 356418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you!</p> <p>I never ever work out, but I walk a lot and I'm on my feet for work all the time. I probably should do something to keep fit, but I'm far too lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356398 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:43:12 +0000 Freckles 356398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! Keep us posted on your progress :)</p> <p>Pre-baby i worked out 7x a week, sometimes 2x a day. I mainly did running, spinning and yoga. I now go 2-3x a week, for yoga and dance. It may be a while before i can get back to running and spin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356368 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:36:12 +0000 Alivoo01 356368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure how much each stone is, but good luck to you and yay for taking the first step to accomplishing your goal!!</p> <p>I joined a gym, and used to go 5 days a week, but found I enjoy working out at home better on my Wii (EA Active: more workouts) or Kinect (some workout program I have). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356327 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:23:38 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 356327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!! Good for you guys! </p> <p>Pre-baby, I worked out HARD 5 days a week. Now I do bootcamp (which is tough) 4 days a week. It's a struggle to just get that in, but I feel SO good after doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356320 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:20:14 +0000 Meridian 356320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, good for you!!</p> <p>I think I started this exact same thread back in July, and unfortunately, I've fallen off the wagon. I'm lucky if I go 2x a week! But that's just me being super lazy... however, I am actually signing off my laptop and going to the gym RIGHT NOW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356301 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:14:08 +0000 JoJoGirl 356301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah!!! Good work! </p> <p>I work out every morning because it makes my day go smoother, makes me feel good, reduces my stress, and is great 'me' time. Also I find it easier to do it every day than say 3x/week because that way I'm in a habit and have the same routine every day. I don't do the same WORKOUT every day, but get up around the same time, follow the same commute, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-did-it-i-joined-the-gym-how-often-do-you-exercise#post-356294 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:10:51 +0000 Cherrybee 356294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so proud of us! DH and I just joined the gym!! We have our first session with a trainer, to design our programs, on Thursday evening. While planning our goals tonight, I was shocked by how much weight we both need to lose to be in the healthy range. 2.5 stone for me, 4 stone for DH. Ouch! </p> <p>Eventually, I want to swim every morning before work and go the the gym or a class every night - but we'll see how it goes!! </p> <p>How often do you exercise? Pre-baby? Post baby? Do you enjoy it or is it a chore? </p>
