Exercise?

Question

What are you doing to stay active? I wasn't very active before my pregnancy, but as a teacher on summer break, I am constantly on the couch and I know that doesn't help my energy level! Any suggestions welcome!

Answer

I wasn't a very active person either before pregnancy but now I don't move at all. I was recommended to try some YouTube videos with prenatal yoga and some prenatal exercises. I only tried yoga for pregnant women a couple of times until now but I felt that my mobility has decreased since pregnant. I will try to do the exercise regularly. Walking is great too.                                              I feel bad that Serena Williams managed to win a grand slam while pregnant and I find it hard to make some breathing exercises in certain positions LOL

Answer

I was pretty active before getting pregnant so I'm trying to stay active within reason.

I walk 2-3miles 3-4x a week and I also lift weights a few days a week to.

Even just walking will help a lot!

Answer

i wasn't very active before either. i do prenatal yoga and prenatal workouts from youtube and I walk a lot around the highschool track below my house while my 8 year old rides his scooter and bike. i also play basketball with my husband and son.

Answer

I'm walking a half hour to an hour every day that I can stand to... usually about 3 times a week lol

Answer

I have continued my pre-pregnancy workouts. I watch my heart rate and try not to exceed 150 bpm. If you didn't exercise before, I suggest 30 min walks and some light weights

Answer

My husband goes on a walk with me every evening as long as I am feeling up to it.. usually about an hour 😊 every once in a while we switch it up by going on a bike ride or swimming. Just easy low impact things!

Answer

With the heat and my symptoms I have a hard time doing much of anything right now. But I try to take short walks through the day or one in the evening if I can. Just make sure to keep hydrated

Answer

I brisk-walked for up to 3 hours a day (before and after work, and at lunchtime) before pregnancy but first trimester has kicked my ass.
I can sometimes barely stand up on the bus without feeling like I'm going to faint, so I've been listening to my body hard and adjusting my walks to make sure I'm not pushing it. Some days I'm fine, other days I do 15 mins on the treadmill in the morning and it wrecks me for the whole day. :P 
Hoping that the second trimester brings that magical energy and glow they always talk about - just over 12 weeks now.
