Any gym freaks in this group?!

Question

I'm getting really pissed at myself, i promised myself I wouldn't be scared to go to the gym. Now I am. It's been the 4th day I've missed well yesterday I felt terribleZ and now today I just have no energy. What are you guys doing to not have guilt? I feel like I'm becoming lazy and this is not what I want for my pregnancy or my baby.

Answer

I was really nervous at first. I literally asked the doctor the dumbest questions (eg will running shake off the implantation, etc). I finally went Tuesday and again today. Once you do it, you will realize it's fine -- in fact good for you.

Answer

Gym freak here! I've been feeling horrible about skipping the gym so much. No advice for you, but it's nice to hear I'm not the only one! I feel like a lazy, fluffy blob.

Answer

I've been at my current gym since Sept '14, I have 2 personal trainers, one of which just returned from having her own baby. I go 2 days a week for 1 hour classes, other days is daily dog walks and chasing 2 toddlers around (I'm a nanny). Yesterday I did 10x of 65#, 85#, 95#, and 100# deadlifts among other things in the class. I really like having knowledgeable trainers who make sure I have proper form and give me alternatives if something makes me feel gross.
I'm only 9w4d with daily light queasiness, but found that french fries are awesome LOL.

I have only worked out twice in the past month.. I want to go back to my barre studio but I am nervous that I am so out of shape and get short of breath easily it will be embarrassing... I know how important exercise and pregnancy is but for some reason I just can't get myself to do it! Glad there are others out there who are struggling as well.. I am going to try and do more exercise videos at home with light weights and tried to walk more

Answer

This is a tough one for me. I am very active. The bed rest about killed me(I did IVF) I took it really slow at first. Basically walked for a few min. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and do a very light gym workout and walk a lot !! I am really tired so energy to workout is tougher but I feel so much better mentally and know my body needs it too

Answer

Before I was pregnant, I spent at least 11 hours a week working out. I've now cut my total time in half and the intensity has gone down, too.

Anyway, you're not new to working out so you probably know the difference between being lazy and needing the rest. If your body is telling you to rest, there is no need to feel guilty about that.

Answer

I am doing a light workout every morning. Usually 20 minutes. It's enough for the first trimester. I'm hoping during the second when the weather warms up, I can start doing a bit more.

Answer

I was a gym rat before and i too am a little scared! On top of being nauseous and tired and starving! Im getting there at least twice a week but not working out nearly as hard. Hoping i'll feel better in the second trimester and step up my workouts.
