what excersizes do you do while pregnant?

Question

I was excersizing before I got prego but got very sick and lost a lot of weight, also I want to avoid a 3rd csection if possible. So working out is crucial to possibly being able to push this time. what are some suggestions? & things you think helped you be able to push baby out?

Answer

I workout 6 days a week with running and weight training. But I was very active before pregnancy too. I've noticed for running I do better with sprints now and taking those short breathers than running at a steady pace for a long period of time. With weight training, I still am doing deadlifts, squats, good mornings, lunges, etc but I have decreased the weight to about 65lbs. I also still workout my core with planks, side bends, Russian twists, and hanging leg lifts. Also I try to remember to do my kegels!

Answer

long walks would be a great start or taking a lite hike. Air squats are easy to do also, and can be done anywhere. I also recommend throwing in some yoga, helps with flexibility, breathing, balance, and much more. I haven't looked but I'm sure there are guided yoga classes on Youtube for pregnant women or beginners. Walking lunges are awesome to throw in while you are walking. Using some light weights (maybe 5 or 8 lbs), you can use these while you are walking to work out your arms. Calf raises are another easy workout that can be done anywhere and not too stressful of an exercise. If you have access to a gym, you can use the machinery there, like the cardio machines (but I prefer running, hiking, walking or biking outside for cardio). I'm pretty active, so I lift weights, run, hike, bike, squat, and basically anything to keep me active, and do some nice sweaty workouts LOL. I hope this helps, good luck on your new fitness journey lady! 😘 Don't forget about sex LOL, great cardio and calorie burner and it feels amazing!

Answer

personally I take my dog on multiple walks a day. short walks but quick pace and a lot of them. he loves it, I love it, and we're both feeling better

Answer

Depends how active you already were but I do weights 4 times a week with light weights 5kg weights in each hand including lots of upper body, weighted squats, straight leg dead lifts and pelvic tilts then do cardio ie riding a stationary bike or walking the other 2-3 days. The dr recommended the squats/pelvic tilts as this helps to strengthen the pelvic floor and begin to open your hips 😊 i do 30 mins a day so not too much and the dr said that even just walking assists
