What’s safe and what’s not?

Question

I use to work out 3-4 times a week before I was pregnant I’m 19 weeks and I haven’t been to the gym once. One because I was sick in the begging and two I work two jobs and I just don’t have the energy to go ever I really want to start working out cuz I heard it’s good for labor but what do I even do? Walk on the treadmill? I’m on my feet 10 hours a day is that considered me working out or no?

Answer

I do spinning and weight training with quite light weights compared to pre-pregnancy. Strengthening your backside is good since your belly is going to be heavy soon.

Answer

Whatever exercise u was doing is usually still safe when u get pregnant. 
Since its been a min since u worked out give ur body a chance to get back to that exercise regime if u can.
If u dont feel right or scared i suggest a 30 minute cardio exercise a day. Speed walking is great. 
Good luck to you

Answer

I actually was feeling too tired and out of it to work out after I found out I was pregnant and prior I was working out 6 days a week. But around week 10 I got my energy back and just slowly went back to my old routine but modified and from 6 days to 4 days. If you were working out before you should be able to build it back up again. Just start off slowly and do what feels right. No crunches or twists but otherwise you should be ok.

Answer

I worked out until I gave birth with both my pregnancies. There are certain exercises you shouldn’t do beyond a certain point in your pregnancy or there might be some if you have any issues. If you belong to a gym, going to group exercise classes is helpful because the instructor can guide on you safe pregnancy techniques. Or if you work out at home, maybe look for pregnancy workout videos.

Answer

Look up Kayla Itsines. Also check with your doctor
