Starting workout on indoor cycle bike?

Question

Has anyone else started working out a little bit in their second trimester? I want to start doing something to get some muscle before delivery and my husband just purchased an indoor cycling bike. Just wondering if anyone has done these workouts while being 6 months pregnant. From everything I’ve seen online it seems like it should be absolutely fine

Answer

I own a recumbent bike. I need to start working out again just waiting to get over a virus and cough I have (not COVID or pneumonia, thank God.) I suffer from neurological condition called CRPS and during my last pregnancy I was able to walk 2 miles a day second and third trimester. Totally helped after baby was born and will help me again this time chasing after a toddler and caring for a newborn. Best wishesm

Answer

Yes, I used a recumbent bike up to the day I delivered last pregnancy. This pregnancy I’m using it again as well and love it. After about 30 weeks pregnant, it’s difficult to use a non-recumbent bike since the traditional bike seat irritates your sit bones. Have fun!
