I bought an exercise video for pregnant women. I also do some yoga. But I only have time for this 2-3 times a week.

I want to get in the habit of 30 minute walks several days a week. I would also like to lift light weights for my biceps and triceps.

Sue ... I think if you exercised before getting pregnant, you can continue doing what you did. Just don't increase the weights or the intensity.

I hope I'm right ...

I used to exercise all the time. Then I became a big slacker. My dr said walking is great exercise while pregnant. Little weights are ok too.

I was going to the gym about 4 x's a week before I got pregnant... I tried to continue my workout program, but I knew it just wouldn't be a good idea. I was weight training and I was getting tired so easily, plus I couldn't stand all the different smells.

I bought one of those exersice tapes and began doing that... but it's just so boring. So I'm walking a lot now...

The Y in Huntington has a prenatal water aerobics class. I loved it! The best part is your belly feels so light in the water and the strain is taken of of your back. Highly recommend it....

I still lift weights like I did before. Just started avoiding laying on my back/stomach exercises this month (5 mos now).
