Fitness Routine?

Fitness Routine?

I was wondering if any of the BTDT moms had an exercise routine the stuck to while pregnant that help you keep your weight in check and just keep you healthy overall. I usually attending cardio kick box classes every week, but now I really shouldn't be doing all that. Any hints besides walking?

Am I missing something here? Did you make an announcement? If so, Congratulations!

I'm try to browse the parenting board as much as I can and I'd be so upset if I missed someone's announcement

Re: Fitness Routine?

I walk/light jog on the treadmill and still do my weight training just not the same day as cardio

Re: Fitness Routine?

I walk about 4 times a week for atleast an hour. I live right near a mall, so I just walk that during the winter. I also use the eliptical trainer about once a week that we own, I just take it easy and probably only do it for about 15-20 minutes.

I had pregnancy pilates, but got bored with it in the beginning. I should have probably kept it up since it probably would make my delivery a little easier, but ah well!

I started Curves about 3 weeks before I knew I was pregnant. I stayed doing the work outs, even with my leg pain, until about mid- Sept (Molly was born 11/25). I just skipped the stomach machines.

Re: Fitness Routine?

Thanks. OctBride, I kind of sneaked my announcement into a post a couple of days ago.

Re: Fitness Routine?

You can try swimming. I was running for the first month or so, then I started yoga, but hated it... I must confess, my exercise routine was pathetic. I just didn't have any energy. But now I can't wait to get back into the swing of things.

Re: Fitness Routine?

Re: Fitness Routine?

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Fitness Routine?

Congrats. I have been exercising for years and I was told that i can continue to do what i am doing except exercises that involve lying on your back. I enjoy spin classes, step aerobics, light weight training. I used to do kickboxing also but I don't feel very comfortable doing it while pregnant. I have stopped abdominal workouts, but I still lift light weights 2-3 times a week.

Re: Fitness Routine?

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week I do cardio, but keep my heartrate under 140 and weight training, my doc said low weight high reps, that you don' t want to build muscle just tone, something bad about building muscle....
