working out while pregnant?

Question

So before I knew I was pregnant, I signed up for training at my gym. A lot of weight lifting and HIIT training. I'm a bit overweight so I was trying to lose weight. But I just found out I'm pregnant. And this is my first pregnancy so needless to say I'm clueless and paranoid!  Should I put the training on hold? Is it safe to workout while pregnant? I also am signed up to run a 5k on thanksgiving morning. Is this safe as well?

Answer

If you were already exercising the. It's absolutely safe and beneficial to you and baby to continue. I continued to do HIIT, run, and do weight training up until 33 weeks and only stopped because of a foot injury or else I would've continued. It'll make your labor and delivery go much smoother if you remain active. I was exercising 5 to 6 times per week.  Congrats  on your first and good luck ! 😀

Answer

It's safe and recommended to work out while pregnant. You should speak to your trainer and see if he is oregnancy safe. As in does he know what pregnant females can or cannot do. I work out every morning and worked out every day with my others until I gave birth. Just have to know your limits and not over work yourself

Answer

How is the working out going? Hope you continued bc it is very healthy for both you and your baby 👶🏻!!!! I am trying to, but the fatigue & working nights can make it very difficult 😝! I have an app that I can use for 20 min workouts on those days I'm so tired it's hard to go to the gym, but I have yet to use it lol 😝😯!!!

Answer

I still workout I do cardio (elliptical treadmill stair master spin) I don't do too much weight though.... I do more reps less weight and absolutely no ab workouts. I love yoga and just found a prenatal yoga class I plan on attending.

Answer

I go to tap class and use the elliptical. I was told to listen to my body and use common sense. If something doesn't feel right, don't do it. If you need a break, take it. If you're thirsty, drink water. If you're dizzy, sit down. The doctor told me that I am more likely to injur myself than the baby. The baby is snug in a protected place. But because of the pregnancy hormone relaxin, all the joints, muscles, and ligaments in the body are extra loosey-goosey. Just be careful to not overextend and watch your step as you may be more likely to twist or sprain something. And my doctor encouraged me to tell my tap instructor that I am pregnant. So I would tell your class instructor(s) just so that they are in the loop.

Answer

Working out is safe while pregnant. But I would first ask your doctor if you are able to continue. I still do all the same things I did before I was pregnant except for any jumping motions.
