Guuuurl....I’m in the same boat! I can barely get myself to get up and go for a simple walk. It’s pathetic and I need to change!!
MY FIT MOMMAS!
Since I’ve been pregnant I haven’t really exercised like Im assuming I should and I know there shouldn’t be no excuse for it but it’s my first pregnancy and I would rather ask experienced mommas of what exercises they have done throughout their pregnancy and saw weight changes as well. My face has actually look a bit swollen and I’m assuming cause I’m not eating right as well so PLEASE!! I’m asking for opinions and feedback!!!

Same here I don’t even have a dog to atleast take walks and my husband works a lot hardly has time or energy too go with me and I suck at workouts I know nothing about them and as far as YouTube idk I’m just iffy about it I just rather have someone on here on this site that has been or is in the same place as I am and has notice changes!!
This is what I do, it may not be what’s right for you but it gives you an example.I go for a brisk 30 min walk 5x a week while pushing my two kids in a stroller.I do weighted or body weight strength training 4-5x per week. I personal,y do a split where I train different muscle groups each day but for most women a full body routine 2-3x a week is totally sufficient.I practice piston breathing with belly pumping daily.I should stretch daily but usually get to it 3-4x a week.There are days where I am not motivated to exercise but I know it gives me more energy, gives me a sense of accomplishment and 99% of the time I feel better afterwards.

Love this so much ima try this THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
I swam laps from 6-12 weeks pregnant. But I wasn't getting muscle fatigue afterwards or any sign my body was being challenged enough. I wanted to build muscle, not just burn calories & lose weight. I also started finding cellulite on my legs so that scared me into looking for muscle resistance instead.I switched to weightlifting and did that from 12-28 weeks until the AC broke at my gym. My hip ligaments & belly were also becoming more sore with my growing size, so I took a break.I then thought I'd just quit & ride out the rest of my pregnancy, but I started feeling crummier from being inactive. More sore, inflexible, quick to injury, tired. I also started gaining weight faster which was not good because my doc wanted me to stay between 25-30lbs and I was now at 27lbs at 33 weeks.That same week (33) I went back to swimming laps because I think weightlifting will be too hard on my belly & hip ligaments now. I swam Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday this week. And felt much better.

Also, I had prior history weightlifting at the gym so it wasn't new to me. Swimming laps I had done a few times the year before so I had a smidgen of experience. But yeah, with weightlifting I avoided certain dangerous lifts and I also did low weight/high rep (I used to do the opposite back in the day, but figured it'd be too dangerous pregnant).
