How much is too much?

Question

Hello all you exercising mamas! Is there any special precautions you take when exercising? I want to start running 3 miles a day again. Do you think that is appropriate?

Answer

If you were doing it before u got pregnant ( general rule) ull be ok..u just dont want to get overheated.

Answer

I think its fine unless your body tells you otherwise

Answer

2nd reply..Everyone should be aware that if u feel any pain doing a plank ( or anything else) U should stop.Anyone can get diastis recti while pregnant and not know.I had felt a couple min of back pain around 28 weeks so am guessing that's when mine happeneded.There are good posts on pintrest about how to heal your diastisis but some have positions that have u on your back.Example the bridge..U can do but flex your feet so toes are pointing to the sky.I ve been to PT and cross referenced alot..theres a mom on pintrest who uses alot of bands n most of her positions are standing.Best wishes to everyone Stay well 👌👌

Answer

I do HIIT workouts almost daily and am 33w. I listen to my body and relax when it tells me too. If you ran a lot prior to pregnancy, by all means keep it up if you feel good and have the doctors okay!

Answer

Just wanted to say I love your name! I knew a Cidney once, a long time ago, and I adored her! She was a little bit of a wild child, but totally a lovable friend!!!

Answer

Follow the cues from your body, maybe start off with a smaller run just to get yourself familiar with it again (and not have too far to hike back if you feel overly tired), having babies is strenuous on the body (I couldn't get over how little I could do the few weeks after delivery) but I think we just come back stronger after 🤷🏻‍♀️ go mama!

Answer

Also don’t run until you’re out of breath. You’ll want to be able to still hold a conversation with your pace.
