exercise?

Question

My doctor said I need start walking? I'm 9 weeks but not sure how much I should walk? Does anyone know? Any suggestions? I was going to start walking at least 1-2 miles is that too much ?

Answer

I would start out with 30 minutes a day and move up slowly, especially if you haven't been active recently. I actually just did a 25 page paper of an exercise prescription for pregnant women haha. Useful for me and my grade 😂

Answer

It is recommended to get 10,000 steps per day which is about 5 miles. I have a pretty sedentary job (dental hygienist) so it usually takes an additional hour of walking at the end of the day to meet this requirement. My dogs love it!

Answer

Exercise is super important during pregnancy. I'm a runner so I will continue running 3-5 miles 3 times a week. I have a 10 mile run coming up in May and a half marathon in June when I'll be 6 months pregnant.

Answer

Omg really? I walked through the mall and my legs and back were hurting so bad the next day I said I'm going sit down more lol

Answer

Definitely not too much. The weather here in Chicago has been pretty crumby so I haven't been out as much as I would like, but once the weather gets better, I'll probably walk roughly 5 miles a day.

Answer

In Europe they say pregnant woman should walk 2 hrs a day (!!), that's around 5 miles or so
