Safe to Exercise?

Question

I'm 15 weeks now. I was wondering is it safe for my do weight lifting? I've always been lifting weights before pregnancy. Just that I have reduced my weights tremendously to just light weights about 4-8kg. Does anyone lift weights while pregnant?

Answer

I’m 33 weeks and I still work out and lift weights. Just listen to your body and reduce/modify where needed. Also make sure you take breaks and a lot of water. Your body will thank you!

Answer

Yep! Unless your doc has given you specific restrictions. I did orangetheory classes my whole pregnancy which includes running, rowing, and weight lifting. Was able to work out the whole pregnancy and returned to classes 6 weeks postpartum. I’m still in them now and ttc #2

Answer

Yes. I weight trained before I got pregnant and I still weights train now. Just no core or abs. 🙏🏽 Get it mama!

Answer

Absolutely, there’s certain exercises you shouldn’t do ( eg lying flat on your back, crunches , wide stance etc) but other then that no problem. Nathalia Melo has released informative full body work out book with pictures for each exercise that follow during each trimester plus post partum, check it out :)

Answer

I have lifted weights (mostly HIIT classes with 8-12lbs) throughout my pregnancy too. I’m 39 weeks and just started having to reduce how much I use.

Answer

Ask your OB but I did bootcamp 3-4 days a week before being pregnant and still try at least 1 day ( high intensity ) followed by low impact walks every other night. No problems lifting weights just be careful.

Answer

Listen to your body. I avoided ab exercises right at the beginning but when my body truly couldn’t do them I understood the difference in feeling. I could also tell when I had to reduce weights and one day jogging started to feel uncomfortable. Then one day laying on my back was too much pressure. If you’re in tune you’ll recognize the signs and not to over do it. 
Black and white though: no sauna, no cardio til you’re unable to talk, and no weights so heavy you’re straining.

Answer

Just wondering if boxing exercise is bad when you’re pregnant?
