Insanity workouts safe while preggo?

Question

I just found out I'm pregnant with baby #3. Before being pregnant I been doing the Insanity workout videos and would really hate to stop. Have any of you ladies done these workouts and continued them while pregnant?

Answer

Insanity work outs are not good at all. Joints and ligament damage is somethoing you don't want. I would say swimming would be best.

Answer

My doctor told me to keep my heart rate under 160 haha and I was very (still am) active pre pregnancy. Now I just listen to my body and have been able to maintain most of my workouts.

Answer

I used to do insanity everyday until I found out I was pregnant (i was 5 weeks) but it does say not to if you might be pregnant,

Answer

Oops added my reply in the wrong place! Check with your doctor. I'm currently TTC and my doc told me I could keep up my kickboxing and running routine. As long as your body is used to it and your not lifting extremely heavy weights you should be fine.

Answer

As long as you were doing it before, the rule of thumb is that you should be ok. That said if you get dizzy or feel any kind of BAD cramps or bleed, you need to stop. I still do most HIIT/kickboxing/Tabata workouts. I found tang as I get bigger, I have to modify and I definitely get fatigued and winded more easily. So I stop and take breaks as the class goes. The heart rate thing is an old wives tale.  Also try to not get too overheated because that can lead to issues.
