Doctor says Heart Rate should not exceed 140. Did your doctor say the same?

Question

For regular exercises, 140 is challenging to not exceed during a moderate workout. Any advise is appreciated

Answer

You should listen to your doctor more than internet strangers. Your doctor knows more about your specific medical history, pregnancy, etc. 
That being said my doctor told me that heart rate shouldn’t be the only indication, that some people have higher heart rates. I was told that you shouldn’t be too out of breath to hold a conversation.

Answer

Run it by your doctor, again, but I actually asked this question to my midwife because like you said that’s really easy to go over even with only very moderate activity. She said to listen to my body-if I was getting light headed or had cramping then to stop and make sure I was drinking plenty of water...I was pretty active before pregnancy, as well, so that also may play a factor in what she said.

Answer

My Dr said as long as I'm comfortable while doing it and as long as I can hold a conversation while doing it, its fine. Everyone's heart rates are different. my moms heart rate while working out and barely being able to hold a conversation is 110, on the other hand mine while doing the same thing is typically 180-190. Its going to differ with each person!

Answer

My DR said I could continue doing the same workout routine as I was previously doing.

Answer

I resumed all normal workouts so my heart rate was always above 140 while I was working out. A brisk walk will easily increase your heart rate to 140. And I wasn’t going to JUST walk my entire pregnancy lol I have zero health issues and have always worked out hard 5-7 days a week so my doctor never saw issues with me continuing my normal routine. I had a very smooth and healthy pregnancy.

Answer

Nope! I was running and going to spin until recently. Anything you did before should be fine to keep doing just don't go 100%.

Answer

Mine said 150, but I agree it is challenging
