Cross fit moms!?

Question

I've been a crossfitter/very active for years. But as soon as I found out I was pregnant, my energy is GONE and I get short of breath faster. What have your doctors/coaches recommended for workouts or modification? I've only been trying to keep my HR below 150

Answer

I've managed to keep up my normal routine, but I'm definitely slower. I can still RX, but sometimes scale depending on the WOD/reps/rounds. If it's an AMRAP, for instance, I'll RX and just move slower. If it's rounds for time, I usually scale a little so I can move more quickly. I haven't felt the need to back down much yet. I actually just set a new PR for back squats at 155#! I was told that I could keep it up as long as I felt able and to just listen to my body.

Answer

Yes, me! We've deleted the WOD, and went back to basics (if you remember the beginning of CrossFit)... I added 1 whey protein before workout to help boost energy and so far it helps. I get super winded quick too.

Answer

I'm not a cross fit but I did work out 5-6 times a week and did hit yoga with weights 3 of those days. No more hot yoga for me and I have just toned it down a bit. Working out 4-5 days a week now. Oh and your heart is not that big a deal. As long as it's not unhealthy.
