Any CrossFit moms here??

Question

I am a trainer and have been working out as much as I can (when I have the energy after early classes and long days at my regular job) and just listening to my body. I feel awesome when I get to keep my routine. It would be so nice to find other moms here to talk tips for scaling and modifying, and what's working for you!!

Answer

I am a manager of a gym. Biggest thing for me has just been being sooo tired.

Answer

I'm a kickboxing trainer and I've been loving continuing that as well. I even found during the first trimester that my nausea would temporarily go away while I was working out. I talked to my doctor at the beginning of the pregnancy and she said as long as I'm only hitting and kicking bags, and they're not hitting and kicking back, I'm good to go. I haven't modified a whole lot, but I'm sure I will once I get a little bigger. I have a heart rate monitor so I keep an eye on that and if it gets up real high, I try to bring it down a little. I've also limited the number of burpees I've been doing- for some reason the up-down motion makes me a little nervous. But overall, I'm continuing what I love until my body tells me to change it up!

Answer

I'm not personally but one on my mom's friends are and did it most of her pregnancy. She did have to stop and be put on bed rest though because she wouldn't scale back at all and it started causing problems. I hope you can continue doing it and find ways to keep you both safe! It's so wonderful that you're doing that, you'll have a breezy labor! Good luck!

Answer

I also do crossfit and am continuing throughout my pregnancy as long as I can. My OB so far said it was fine as long as it was something I was doing prior to pregnancy. 
The only thing I've been doing differently so far is trying to catch my breath during the wod's. Keeping my hr less than 140 is difficult but they said as long as I can say a few sentences while working out it should be ok. 
My husband also requested I not do full burpees anymore haha. He was worried so even though I think it's fine in the first trimester, I don't, I just don't drop all the way to the ground anymore. 
I would also love to connect with other crossfit moms and see what works for you!

Answer

Yes! I'm 14 weeks and just started going again last week. I feel like I lost so much muscle! It's good to be back at it, but I am definitely keeping the weights light and taking breaks when I need.

Answer

I am resuming CF this week, since I finally feel a bit better! My nausea was pretty bad, and I didn't feel like getting any hotter when I was already having hot flashes (I live in Phoenix)!! We will see how it goes, but I am going to work out 3x per week. I just want to stay strong and keep my weight from getting out of control.
