Any good suggestions?.

Question

What can I take as a pre workout for energy before a workout during pregnancy? I was working out before getting pregnant 4 times a week, As an energy booster I was using the “Beyond Lit” Pre workout. I’m on my first trimester and can’t seem to have any energy but I want to keep working out, What can I take that’s safe during pregnancy as an energy booster that would work before my workout??

Answer

Avoid most supplements unless you discuss them with your doctor. Excessive caffeine has been linked to higher rates of miscarriage. 
A banana can give you as much energy as a cup of coffee. Stick to your prenatal vitamins, adequate protein, adequate hydration, adequate sleep, and energy-packed foods like fruits and veggies, meats and meat alternatives, nuts, and yogurts.

Answer

No preworkouts aren’t recommended. I would just do a cup of coffee if you really need something, but you shouldn’t overdo it with caffeine either.

Answer

Maybe a quick nap and snack? I eat something with protein (raw almonds) and a fruit high in vitamin C (clementine, mango, berries, etc.) after an after work nap and it seems to get me out for cardio and strength training complete before sunsets.

Answer

I was able to combat this by working out later in the day and trying to get like 10-11 hours of sleep in a night. The energy came back in the second trimester, so if you can power through the first it will probably make a comeback.
