HIIT before prego...but during pregnancy?

Question

I work out pretty hardcore 6 days a week. 3-4 days I incorporate HIIT into my routine. I'm 32, workout junkie for 10+ years. If you are familiar with HITT, can I still do it when I'm prego? Excellent workout, burns fat, builds muscle, awesome for toning....don't want to give it up!...Go!

Answer

I believe it's ok if you were doing it before. I did insanity and t25 workouts everyday before. My doc said it was fine just have to keep my heart rate below 160

Answer

My doc said to do whatever I was doing before, just to have a hr max of 160, and try to keep it 130-140.

Answer

I think u may u want to consult ur doc. Because it keeps ur heart rate elevated to the max for intervals. Let's be safe :)

Answer

I've always been very active and used HIIT workouts 2x a week before conceiving but was told by a neonatal specialist, who is also an endurance runner, that HIIT was absolutely not an option at any stage of pregnancy.

Answer

I go to the Dr next week with a list of questions lol so I'll see what she says. Yes it definitely keeps the heart rate up, both HIIT and Insanity but that's the point to losing fat and gaining  muscle! Ill let you all know what the Dr says :)
