Starting to work out?

Question

I used to work out all the time last year but I've slowed down to almost nothing and since I've been pregnant I just go on walks.  I just realized my gym membership is still active... Is is bad to start working out again now being 10 weeks pregnant? I'm feeling so negative toward my body and it's affecting mine and my SO relationship.

Answer

It's never too late to start as long as your doctor knows and approves it. First, I'd ask them if it's okay to begin. If they say yes, just start really slow and light. You don't want to jump into it with all you've got. Just start with walking on a treadmill or lifting really light weights or something that won't exert you too much. You can build up stamina but to start, it needs to be light and easy.

Answer

My doctor says it's fine as long as I don't push myself to hard and I can have a conversation with someone as I'm working out.

Answer

I'm in the same boat !! I ran a marathon the month before we conceived to 4 months later a walk once a week which has lead to a 20 lb gain. Barely let my guy touch me.  Checking with my doc but we both have to get back in there !!
