First Trimester Workout?

Question

I have been doing a HITT / Circuit Training workouts for about 3 months now and just found out I am pregnant. Am I able to continue these workouts or should I do something with less jumping and crunches?

Answer

They say you can continue the workouts that your body is used to but don’t start anything new.

Answer

I have been doing a boot camp style workout since June. We go in four week rotations: 1- Endurance, 2- Strength and Agility, 3- HIIT, 4- Peak (combo of all 3 prior weeks). I plan to continue it all, just not up any weight in my strength training and maybe avoid some of the jumping once it starts to be uncomfortable. Running was uncomfortable for me around 4.5 months with my last pregnancy but I’m in a lot better shape this time around!

Answer

still do it but avoid getting too breathless or lots of bouncing id say

Answer

You can do low cardio. Well that's what I do. I still do sweat in this cold weather

Answer

I think you have to be careful with jumping from what I remember. I’m currently waiting for my doctor to be back in the office so I can ask him what I can/can’t do in the gym.

Answer

I asked my doctor  and my ob - I started crossfit a year ago and have been a runner my whole life, and had heard the “don’t start anything new” (which didn’t address effort level) and also the “be able to continue a conversation” (which didn’t address type). 
They both said I can continue, whatever I’ve been doing for at least 3 months, at what feels like the same level of effort, as long as I feel comfortable.  My primary care mentioned it will feel harder - partially carrying around the baby weight, but also from making more blood, the body doing other work. 
My ob also said that if I’m feeling dizzy or particularly clumsy, to maybe consider sitting out box jumps or work up high (rings or bar), which makes good common sense to me - especially later on when falling would be a big issue.

Answer

I have been doing Orangetheory Fitness since June. I’m continuing my workouts but have stopped trying to increase weights or speed. That has been going well for me.
