jumping rope?

Question

I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or not but incase I was, is it safe to jump rope, let's say 30 minutes or more daily? I have tummy chub I want to deflate but I'm tired of being scared to get fit and healthy and start working out incase I was pregnant. So due to this it's not doing me much good. 
I always feel if I start working out and ended up pregnant I'd lose the baby because I feel I'd be putting my body under too much stress. 
Is jump roping safe in the first trimester? I really want to start working out and have done for 15 minutes today. I hate living in fear of being pregnant. It's an ugly cycle to be in...... 
Thanksssss.

Answer

Check with your doctor just to be sure, but my doctor told me it is safe. I have been working out since long before I was pregnant though. 
And honestly, I haven't changed much about my work out routine at all.

If you aren't sure if you are pregnant, I would definitely recommend starting some sort of daily physical activity so that during your pregnancy, you will be able to continue working out and staying as in shape as possible. Even if you just start with walking long distances (which you can do while pregnant), do SOMETHING. You'll feel so much better and it even helps with morning sickness :)

If you take a test and find out you are pregnant, the one thing you will want to change is make sure you are not pushing yourself past a 7-8 on a scale of 1-10. Listen to your body. If something is uncomfortable Or doesn't feel right, modify it.

I'd recommend the 21 Day Fix by Autumn Calabrese as a good starter work out program. There's lots of modification options, so if you aren't comfortable with something, there are other alternatives that are easier on your. It's but that will still give you results. Plus this work out program combines light weight lifting with cardio/aerobic activity, so it's great for blasting fat, burning calories, and boosting metabolism. I've done this program several times and I'm doing it again now. I love it!
