Thank you so much for the advice! I'd go crazy without some workouts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-761012 Sat, 04 May 2013 11:54:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 761012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkpeony921: I ran/worked out through my tww and throughout my entire pregnancy, although I modified it as needed. My doctor suggested it and it really saved my sanity because it made me feel good and helped regulate the wacky hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-761000 Sat, 04 May 2013 11:39:41 +0000 jh524 761000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing p90 x during ttw. When i got my bfp i started to modify intensity level. You should def still exercise just not intensely, especially on your predicted day of implantation. I read somewhere intense exercise like jump training(plyo) can effect the implantation of the egg! Just do moderate exercise. Your jogging, abs and lifting is perfect!! Good luck on a bfp!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760832 Sat, 04 May 2013 09:01:06 +0000 futuremama 760832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: @JoJoGirl: Both time I got pregnant were during TWW's where I was exercising regularly. During the first, I'd just started bootcamp. During the second, I'd just started 30 day shred. Maybe I should take this as a hint to start exercising again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760789 Sat, 04 May 2013 07:46:49 +0000 pinkpeony921 760789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome ladies!!

I agree with everyone else, just continue with your normal schedule when TTC then adapt once you get KO. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760568 Fri, 03 May 2013 20:56:51 +0000 Revel 760568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: @JoJoGirl: @VEGMAMA: Ditto! I was training for a weightlifting meet and lifting 2 hrs a day multiple days a week when I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760314 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:16:39 +0000 kjpugs 760314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran a 5k during my TWW :) Haven't run at all since though... been too sick :( (STILL- near 17 weeks!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760258 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:43:36 +0000 jetsa 760258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: @VEGMAMA: yep I was training for my 3rd half marathon and had just taken most of the first half of winter off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760254 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:41:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 760254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not super intense, but I know that I felt soooo much better last month after I started running again. This month has been a little off and on, but I"m planning on going running this afternoon. Can't wait :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-760037 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:05:09 +0000 JoJoGirl 760037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: Me too!! I got pregnant during the TWW where I started crossfit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759891 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:08:25 +0000 Mrs.Someone 759891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do cardio 3-4x and strength training 1-2x each week. I always second guess the strength training class during the TWW (BodyPump), but I usually go at least a few times and just take it easy on abs, and avoid any jumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759863 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:02:16 +0000 Vegmama 759863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The TWW which ended in a BFP was my most active of my life. I had started running &amp; strength training the month before. I think it helped keep my mind off of things, and I felt great. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759434 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:03:43 +0000 Smurfette 759434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything like I normally would, even once I got my BFP. Just watched my heart rate more then but I still had it higher then what the nurse aaid too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759429 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:03:09 +0000 pinkpeony921 759429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @MrsKoala: Awesome, that is what I like to hear! I love boot camp type workouts....I feel worse not doing them as often as I did before actively ttc (I am in the tww of my 2nd cycle ttc.) I'm going to slowly pick it back up again because that is what I love! Glad to hear you are all still doing what you love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759426 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:01:58 +0000 prettylizy 759426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you should start anything new, but I think maintaining your current workout regime is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759412 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:58:37 +0000 pinkpeony921 759412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: That sounds like a realistic plan....that is what I will do. That way my workouts are still worthwhile and make me feel good, but don't cause me to worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759411 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:58:30 +0000 MrsKoala 759411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fully plan to continue with my regular workouts while TTC (I'm a member of softball &amp; volleyball rec league teams, and do a boot camp/circuit training 3-4 times a week). I also plan to continue as much as I can once I am pregnant. Everything that I have read seems to indicate that it is good and healthy for you to continue exercising at the same level after you get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759403 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:55:34 +0000 blackbird 759403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did my normal intense work out. There is some research to show that intense exercise increases the chance of implantation </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759402 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:55:29 +0000 pinkpeony921 759402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies!! This really makes me feel better! Exercise always keeps my stress level down and makes me feel good....I agree that it would be crazy to change my life two weeks out of every month. Thank you for the replies &amp; encouragement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759393 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:54:26 +0000 twinmama 759393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just took any intense workouts down a notch. I didn't to any crazy intervals or speed training on my runs, just ran more easygoing few milers. And on weights, I maybe used 5s instead of 10s or something like that. But you could proceed as normal for a few months and if no bfp, take it down a notch then. It seems to be more of a factor for some women than others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759378 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:49:13 +0000 nana87 759378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to my Zumba class in about an hour and I'm in the tww now...my understanding was that if it's already part of your routine it's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759377 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:49:04 +0000 Lozza 759377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant doing Crossfit a few times a week- I agree with @spaniellove: that unless you have extenuating circumstances, you should be totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759376 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:49:01 +0000 Pirouette 759376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my feeling on the TWW was that i shouldn't do anything to restrict or change my lifestyle, because you never know how many TWWs you're going to go through, and it's not practical (or advisable really) to change your life 2 weeks out of every month. I was in the drink till it's pink club, and i worked out the same as i did pre-O. Now that I'm pregnant, i've slowed down the intensity a bit of my workouts, but i'm still doing all of those things and i think they are keeping me sane :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759375 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:48:44 +0000 JoJoGirl 759375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just do whatever you normally do. I continued normal workouts way after my BFP too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759373 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:48:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 759373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would exercise as usual during the TWW. If you are used to it, there is no reason to stop or cut back. I just wouldn't do a new intense workout that you aren't used to then (like going from walking to an Insanity workout).</p> <p>I did avoid things where I would get super overheated, like hot yoga-- but I have a really low tolerance for being overheated so it wasn't really a sacrifice. Again, I think if you were used to it, it wouldn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759372 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:48:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 759372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I continue on like normal. Swimming is my exercise of choice. My RE knows that I swim and didn't tell me to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759370 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:47:45 +0000 spaniellove 759370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it. Unless you're an Olympic weightlifter or you're doing fertility treatments where you've been ordered not to do any physical activity, it's probably fine! And you'll be glad you took advantage of the chance when you do get pregnant and don't feel like doing anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759365 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:46:50 +0000 KayKay 759365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was training for and then completed a 500 mile weeklong cycling trip during my two (more like 3 due to not getting BFP til later...) week wait. </p> <p>I wouldn't be going out of my way to start an intense workout program during the TWW, but if it is what your body is used to, it doesn't seem like it would be an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-take-on-runningliftingworking-out-in-general-during-the-twwttc#post-759349 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:41:02 +0000 pinkpeony921 759349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last month I only walked during the tww because I read so many mixed reviews about working out while ttc. I felt sluggish and bloated by the end of the two weeks because I dropped my activity level...and I definitely stressed myself out. I used to do the Insanity workouts/high intensity cardio before my wedding, but I have definitely tapered off on that while ttc. This month I promised myself I'd keep up my jogging/lifting/ab work, but now that I just started the tww- I'm getting nervous to do certain things!</p> <p>What is your take on exercise during tww/ttc? </p>
