zumba when pregnant?

Question

any ladies do/done Zumba or similar whole pregnant? I want to keep up my exercise levels as much as possible this time around, but unsure as to whether all the jiggling around is good or not haha

Answer

I’m almost 40 weeks and still doing Zumba!  I find I need a fan close by and more water and I also modify the jumping movements at this point.   But I love it and I’m convinced baby is going to be a dancer!!

Answer

With my last pregnancy, I loved Zumba, the music was great, I could get carried away with the motion that I wasn’t so focused on how huge I felt. I wish I had done it with THIS pregnancy! I suggest good stretching afterwards ❤️

Answer

You can typically keep up any exercise you were doing pre-pregnancy. Just listen to your body, stay hydrated (you may find you need to drink more water than usual), and avoid becoming overheated. If you need a break, take a break.

Answer

It’s great I went to classes until the week before I was due last pregnancy.   Just be sure to modify any moves with jumping or that you feel uncomfortable with. For example instead of jumping jacks step side to side, I also found I was too slow for any samba or turns

Answer

If you were doing it before pregnancy they say it’s ok to keep doing it. Exercise is great during pregnancy. If certain moves don’t feel right then just leave those out
