kickboxing while pregnant?

Question

Title pretty much says it all. I'm 8 weeks along. I'm not super fit, but have been kickboxing since I was 17, martial arts since I was 5, and am 35 now. Obviously I can't (won't) spar, but really, kickboxing on a bag should be okay, right? Right?!!? Can you tell I really want the answer to be yes?! lol it's mainly just a HIIT workout, which I've read is fine. Idk, just wanting some second opinions please! Thanks!

Answer

As long as you're snacking and staying hydrated I don't see why not. Your body is used to it!

But listen to your body. Thats most important.

Answer

As lon as you're not getting hit back you're fine. Just watch your heart rate 😉

Answer

Its okay! I worked at a UFC gym and there was a woman who kickboxed and worked with a personal trainer up until a week before her due date. As she got closer, she just took it a little easier.

Answer

I did until 36 weeks and had been kickboxing for 2 years before. Enjoy!

Answer

Yes keep going till you can't anymore. Exercise is So beneficial especially if you've already been doing it.

Answer

I kept kickboxing up until I started showing at 25 weeks. Just got uncomfortable. Keep hydrated and watch your balance. Stop if you start to hurt or feel out of breath.

Answer

Thanks ladies! I feel fine during and I'm chugging water all day. It honestly makes me happy! So I'd hate to have to quit! Thanks for the input! 👍🏻
