Has anyone been exercising lately?

Question

I feel guilty for not exercising as much during my pregnancy. I bought all these pregnancy workout DVDs and I haven't really used them. Been so busy with work, I get tired often, it's so darn hot and mana is feeling heavy. 😓 It's such a change cause I used to be so into fitness before pregnancy. I cancelled my gym membership when I was 3 months pregnant cause I had a scary moment ...
Anywho I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I'm now trying to do kegels, going for walks, and my DVDs . Hope it's not too late 😕
Have you been exercising? If yes, what type of workouts ? And did exercise really help with delivery or you delivered fine without much exercise? Comment below 😬

Answer

Started out doing a few DVDs,  but now I'm just walking a ton trying to catch Pokemon.

Answer

I used to do Crossfit. Body pump. Cardio. Barre. Now I feel like every time I try to work out something starts hurting or cramps start so I haven't done much of anything. It's annoying but I'll be back in the gym ASAP when this guy is done cookin! I'm sure you will be fine 😉

Answer

30 weeks im still in the gym or pool (or both!) every single day.

The shirt is baggy but I do have a bump!

Answer

Don't worry! I am 33 weeks tomorrow and I've not really been exercising much either. I'm a teacher and constantly on the go so I'm incredibly exhausted at the end of the day. I know someone who exercised all the time and had a terrible birth! Sure being relatively fit is going to help but most people I know who had normal births didn't go all out with the exercise X

Answer

Swimming is the only excercise I do. Gets the weight off my back and I don't feel sweaty and uncomfortable afterwards. The temperature here has been between 100 and 110, I don't risk the overheating or dehydration. I guess I could go for walks in the morning before it gets to hot but then again sleep is also very important lol

Answer

Does walking around for 8 hrs at work count? Lol, by the end of the day my feet are so swollen I can't really go out and do anything more... on my days off I'll hike, but nothing crazy

Answer

All I've been able to do is walk. I try to do it every day but it's hard with the recent heatwave. I used to do so much more so it feels like nothing :/

Answer

God no. I had every intention to at the beginning of my pregnancy and got DVD's like you too, but now I feel like everyday tasks are enough of a workout. Plus, waking up challenges my will power the same way that working out does, so. . . I'm basically doing the same thing as all these fit pregnant women 😉 I think it's great that you're getting back into it though! I'm sure it's never too late, just listen to your body and try not to over do it!

Answer

I'll be 8 months tomorrow and I worked out the whole entire time at least 3 days of moderate cardio which includes the treadmill on incline walking briskly, the bike, and the elliptical. I also do weights at home. I haven't delivered yet lol but working out has kept me emotions in tact and I've only gained 10lbs. The doctors tell me it will greatly help with delivery as well and to keep it up! Hope this helps :-)

Answer

I've never really been an intense exercise person, but I do go for a 30-minute walk every morning before it gets too hot, and every night right before the sun goes down. It's not too overwhelming and I feel like it keeps me healthy and active. I've never been good about keeping up with a regular gym routine, but I am good about walking regularly pregnant or not. Plus, once baby's here, I'll keep up with it and push the stroller on these walks!
