Anyone else a fitness mama and still going strong??

Question

I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old.. when my last baby was 3 months I went back to the gym and do burn boot camp (45 minute intensity circuit workouts). I’m 22 weeks and still going strong! I’m hoping to continue all the way through until my due date. With my first two babies I worked out but stopped the last 2-3 months. Love to hear about others fitness during pregnancy and if anyone has any great workouts they like to share geared towards pregnant women. 
2 things I’m interested in: 
1) workouts for diastasis recti
2) SPD- workouts to help with this as well. I have horrible SPD :(

Answer

Follow Hannah Bower on Instagram. She has tonssss of information about diastasis recti on her page! She has story highlights saved at the top of her page and has a whole bunch about core work and she just had a babe so she has tons of pregnancy workouts and breastfeeding tips and the whole shabang!

Answer

I’m currently doing pole fitness! 
I did yoga, weight training and circuits before I found pole, Iv always wanted to do it and once I moved I finally found a place I liked! 
I started and 8 months later I got pregnant and continued until I was 25 weeks (in beginner +)
I had a natural birth and not invasive so I went back fairly soon but it was hard work but I managed to get into intermediate this March time... then I got pregnant not long after! 
I’m hoping to continue as long as I can but I am finding 3 classes a week hard and I ache so much after 😣
Nice to know others are working out though 👍🏻 following for advice too especially for core work.

Answer

Yep. I still gym and play netball at 22w5d. This was me yesterday.

Answer

Me! I’m 35yrs old. Prior to baby I did yoga 4x a week, lifted 4x a week, did HIT 2x a week. I was super sick, so only did yoga until about 16wks. But since then I’m back to lifting at home 3x a week, continue to do yoga, and I walk 3-5miles a day.

Answer

I primarily run, but first trimester really set me back 🤢 😴.  I’ve slowly been able to work back up somewhat though and just got clearance by my doc to do a half marathon at 26 weeks! 😄

Answer

I was working out pretty consistently before I got pregnant but I stopped going during the first trimester because I was nauseous every day and it was all I could do just to get to work and back 😂🤢 I have a physical job where I’m on my feet all the time and lifting (now just up to 25 pounds on doctors orders to protect my back) and try to get plenty of walks in. I’m looking forward to going back to the gym after baby boy is born (especially the rock gym, I was doing a lot of bouldering before I got pregnant!)

Answer

Yep, I’m 38 and a FTM at 20/2 ... I was a competitive swimmer for 20 years and still am swimming laps at the pool and ocean rough water swims. It’s a little harder, I’m not as fast and I’m definitely out of breath (since swimmers are the only athletes who hold their breath 🤦🏽‍♀️🙈😜😂), the only sucky thing is that I temporarily froze my gym due to being high risk (so I only swim now, no lifting), and the dr also said I had to temporarily give up surfing which makes me bummed.

Answer

I read in the gym 5× a week.  15 minutes of cardio,  45 lifting,  and then 1/2 hour of yoga at home. My bp is running really low this time like 85/50 low.  Nothing can be done about it and it's causing weakness,  heart pounding, fatigue,  and dizziness.  I had to stop all the gym time because it was too much on my body and passing out while trying to lift its super dangerous.  I do stick with daily yoga though and will get back in the gym as soon as I'm cleared after birth. Im afraid it's going to be like starting over though.  Ugggg

Answer

Still working out 4/5 days a week while chasing a busy 2 year old and working full time. I am still able to do my regular HIIT, weights, yoga and running. 
With my first I was able to work out till 38 weeks even with a broken arm.

Answer

19 weeks and still going to my 5am HIIT workouts 4x/weekly.  I’ve had to slow down on cardio and make sure not to lift to heavy but still going strong.  I’ve started researching Diastasis Recti as well... so far all I’ve found it’s lots of pregnancy dont’s to reduce risk of developing it and post partim exercises for after the fact.  Please let me know if you have any luck of finding any good exercises to do during pregnancy for it
