Working out getting hard?

Question

Anyone else still working out and the workouts that you did pre baby are just so hard now? 🤣 I feel like I’m dying over here! Almost 17 weeks.

Answer

Yes I have to lower my weights noticeably on almost all moves now and I huff and puff a lot more than before. I am hoping to keep up with 5 workouts a week for the rest of second tri 🙌

Answer

Yes! I go to a boxing class (against a bag not a human 😂) and it is very high cardio. Before pregnancy I would go 5 days a week. I’m now 16 weeks and can only do about 2 days because I get SO tired and have to recover for 2 days in between classes 😂. 
Our bodies are changing I know, but it’s a little frustrating knowing I could do it all easily before and now I have to take breaks in the middle of class.

Answer

I actually struggled more during the first trimester because I was so sick and now I feel like I’m keeping back to my normal pace a bit more. But I definitely feel it more the next day now! I’ve had to start stretching daily to help with back and hip pain.

Answer

I played tennis this weekend and it literally felt like it broke my back. Could barely walk afterwards. Tennis might not be in the cards this season 😂

Answer

Me 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ cardio takes my breath away quicker and trying to lift weights (I am a power lifter) certain moves are hard lol. Like bench press my husband laughs at me because trying to get on and off the bench I flail to get momentum just to get down and to get off the bench 🤣🤣. Also because I’m high risk I have A LOT of appointments (I’ve had 3 just this week) so trying to find the time to workout, juggle a family of 5 with 2 children in school, clean the house, make food etc 😓. I do use our stairs in our house as extra cardio lol.

Answer

Oh my gosh yes.
