I've fallen off the work out wagon.
I work a lot in the yard during summertime, but I haven't gone for a walk or even done my pilates dvd in a long time.
Need to get back into it.... what are some good pregnancy workout routines for someone who isn't a hardcore gym rat?

Lately I have been doing my yoga DVD and the elliptical. Nothing too strenuous!

I think the elliptical is a good medium-level activity....It's not as rigorous as running, but you can still feel like you did something productive:)
I do 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then 30 minutes of weights on machines....I hate cardio but I like lifting weights!

I did running intervals on the treadmill: 2 min run, 3 min walk for 30 min but got more uncomfortable and just decided to stop running this week (week 28). I do 30 min on the elliptical and lift weights for arms. I also do prenatal yoga once a week.

I've been doing classes at the Dailey Method! Barre classes are great options for pregnant ladies and DM is awesome because they have special instructions for pregnancy!

I did aqua zumba and did a lot of indoor walking- like in the mall or pet store so we could bring the pup.

I walk a ton -- well, I think it's a ton (ha) - probably about 3 miles a day (mostly my commute instead of taking the train).
I was trying to find a prenatal Pilates or yoga class around me but there were none so I got a DVD and have been trying to stretch more!

I walk up and down our 3 flights of stairs a couple of times a day. And I hold my LO. HAHA

Hah. I've fallen off the wagon and have been left far behind. I walk about 10 mins for my commute each way and thats about it. I'm really starting to feel squishy.

I walk (incline walking and speed intervals), do light weights and a prenatal yoga DVD. I miss a good, hard workout though!

I am loving prenatal yoga. I don't work up a sweat or anything but my muscles feel very long, strengthened, and stretched afterwards! It also helps me sleep better!
I started when I was about 9 weeks along and am now at 15 weeks and still loving it. Hoping to get a few more walks in once the weather cools off some!

Um...lean up to grab remote from other side of couch? haha I am hanging my head in shame!
With the heat wave lately I have totally slacked! We did do a walk last night and I need to force myself to walk on the treadmill or ellipitcal again, but energy level is very low these days!

I like to take walks outside, but it's been too hot for me to be comfortable. And I bought a prenatal yoga dvd, but have felt so crappy that I haven't done it in 2+ weeks. So right now, my only exercise is my 8-block walk twice a day for my commute.

I've been swimming! It seems like less work somehow for this tired girl.

Water aerobics (when I'm not covered in poison ivy), elliptical, and walking - I don't get a whole lot of joy from exercising, but I force myself!

Prenatal yoga (and occasionally pilates), exercise bike, walking on the treadmill (or outside when it isn't 100 degrees!).

I do yoga and I swim in the slow lane. It's a great way to cool down on hot days too.

running, stairclimber, and prenatal yoga. this is THE best prenatal yoga dvd!! http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Prenatal-Vinyasa-Short-Forms/dp/B0032ZOXYO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1344065988&sr=8-4&keywords=prenatal+yoga
there are a 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, and 90 min options... so you can just do as much or as little as you feel like. and it's not those super slooooow, boring yoga dvd's... it actually works you out and you're constantly moving through different flows. it's a good workout even for non-pregnant ladies. if you're into yoga, i promise it wont disappoint!
