Thoughts on the gym?

Question

What's everyone's thoughts on going the gym while pregnant? I've been coming the gym regularly since January and I recently found out I'm pregnant and still want to carry on with the gym but obviously light exercise and no heavy weights but don't think I'd be able to manage the gym a few months down the line!

Answer

Shawna is right.  My doc said the same thing I Crossfit and I'm a pretty active competitor I just have to scale burpees and she doesn't want me doing box jumps but i can lift just as heavy as I have been.  I'm not going to try and get stronger or lift heavier but I definitely plan on crossfitting my entire pregnancy

Answer

Keep going!! I've done Ashtanga Yoga  for years and haven't stopped... I'm just not doing any jump backs or deep twists. Other than that I'm doing my thing 👍

Answer

I teach group fitness classes and 5 weeks 6 days pregnant. It's just hard right now feeling nauseous and exhausted but I'm good to keep working as long as I feel up to it. Some days it's really hard but hopefully will be worth it in the long run. :)

Answer

My doctor told me yesterday if you excercise you can continue doing what your doing. If you don't excercise she said then don't start.
