Working out?

Question

Anyone workout while pregnant? What exercises do you do? How long do you do it a day? I’m 15 weeks and haven’t done it while pregnant because I’m afraid i will hurt the baby somehow and I know it’s safe as long as you aren’t on your back or jumping or just really over doing yourself but I don’t know what is a good beginner exercise is. I know to keep water beside you at all times and sip it through out and to stretch. Any other tips or advice? Motivation? Thanks for any input!

Answer

I do the same routine as I did before pregnant, just less intense with some modifications. I do Orangetheory twice a week and then a home elliptical twice a week. When it gets nice out I'll go hiking or jogging. You can do anything really in the first trimester. Once you hit the second you need to be a little more careful. I try not to jump, and I don't stay on my back for a long period of time (it's okay to be on your back for 15 min or so, really they say longer but that's all I do to be safe). I make sure I'm hydrated and am able to speak complete sentences so I know I'm not overexerting myself. I keep my heart rate 160 or lower, sometimes it goes a little higher. Do what you're comfortable with. Exercising is great for yourself and your baby.

This is my third baby, with my first two I worked out right up til the day before I had them. I plan to do the same this time too. I usually do for an hour a day a mix of cardio and weights. If you’re a beginner you can do the same just modified to fit your level (slower cardio, lighter weights, etc). :)

i do ORANGE THEORY also.  I've been doing it the whole pregnancy.  just no face down exercises like burpees.  abd don't get out of breath.  my ALL OUT is a 3.7 I'm jogging slow! but i still want to run vs power walk.  I'm like ok baby!, let's go run!

Answer

I waited till out of 1st trimester to really pick it up. I have a personal trainer we do 3x a week I then do cardio other 2x. We go lighter weights and more reps. But I can still do leg presses etc. If your body was used to it before then they say you can continue ! Baby is healthy and honestly I feel better getting to the gym then not. After baby will be a whole different story lol

Answer

I just started since I finally feel better .. I do 30-40 minutes on the treadmill and then very
Light weights for upper and lower. I know core is awesome but I don’t like the way it makes my stomach feel lol 
Usually do squats, lounges and dead lifts. And then some arms and shoulders with like 2 pound weights cause I don’t want to push it.

Answer

I work out for an hour 5x a week. i do everything still, skipping, lifting weights - although i put less on than before. the only thing i really pulled back on is running (cardio kills me) and box jumps because i nearly KO'd myself 😂. nothing wrong with a little exercise, all in moderation...

Answer

There are some great pregnancy workout videos on YouTube. They’re great because you can do them at home and they usually show modifications depending on how far along you are so you can workout your whole pregnancy!

Answer

I have an app called 7 m wellness and love it. I did 15 minutes and drank tons of water. It was great getting moving again and nothing hurt. I was sore for 3 days after. Try it out.

Answer

I do Beachbody (cardio and weights) workouts 5-6 days a week and run once a week. I ran 6 miles this morning and felt great. Currently 14w4d. I am hoping to workout until i can’t! Good luck!
