Any Orangetheory Mamas To Be Out There?

Question

I go to OTF classes somewhat regularly but when I got my BFP a couple weeks ago, I got paranoid and started power walking instead of running (2 previous miscarriages make a girl a little crazy). This morning I ended up running both treadmill blocks and felt fine, and got into the orange zone for about 10 minutes.  Do we think it’s ok to run and to also get into that heart rate zone?

Answer

This is fantastic! Loving all these fit mamas to be and feeling even more motivated than ever to keep up my active routine through this pregnancy. Today I got in a hike with my girlfriends and did yard work with my husband for hours - so far so good!

Answer

17 weeks and still going to OTF! I only go 1 to 2 times per week - the other 3 to 4 days I’m just at the gym. I still run on the treadmill and push myself just not as crazy hard as before. I kept my base at where it was prior to pregnancy, lowered by push by .5mph and all out by 1mph. Still getting a decent amount in the orange but won’t let myself get into the red anymore (it used to happen for a few minutes each class). If you were going before pregnancy, you can keep going!! It’s such a great workout - don’t give it up until you have to/if at all :)
Congrats btw!

Answer

Looovvvveeee OTF!!! I ran when I could and power walked when I was sore later on in pregnancy when my belly grew. My doctor said anything you did before is fine just to watch the red zone and once I hit like 12-15 splats maybe take it easier don’t go full force once I get them. I was lucky that she actually did OTF herself!! The only difference I had was the increased heart rate which helps you keep yourself in check and sometimes very easily out of breath.

Answer

I ran throughout the whole pregnancy! Even did 5K races up until 25 weeks along. If you were a runner before pregnancy, it’s great to keep running. Just listen to your body and stop to walk for a moment at any sign of pain

Answer

I love OTF! Been going all pregnancy. I’m 29 weeks now. I just keep myself out of the red zone! I actually find walking on hills more uncomfortable than jogging so I’ve just been jogging. If you get dizzy or uncomfortable slow down, walk it out, or stop! Keep it up!

Answer

Love OTF! Not preggo yet, but thanks for asking this!
