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.

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).

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.

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

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.

I fully plan to continue with my regular workouts while TTC (I'm a member of softball & 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.

I don't think you should start anything new, but I think maintaining your current workout regime is fine.

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.

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.

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

I ran a 5k during my TWW Haven't run at all since though... been too sick (STILL- near 17 weeks!)

I was training for a half marathon when I got pg! I agree with everyone else, just continue with your normal schedule when TTC then adapt once you get KO.

@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!

@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.
