When should I stop cross fit?

Question

I love my cross fit gym, but I know I will have to stop going at some point because it is very intense exersize. So far I am only 5 weeks 2 days along and I am still enjoying the classes. Any advise of when I need to stop and change to a more moderate excersize routine?

Answer

Check out Girls Gone Strong for some good advice on how to keep your fitness routine during pregnancy. You'll have to modify more and more exercises as you get further along and keep your effort level moderate; but for lots of people who are active before pregnancy, continuing your usual activities is doable until your body tells you otherwise!

Answer

You can keep doing CrossFit the entire pregnancy, with modifications. Your trainers will know. First trimester, not much changes in fitness routine. Second trimester, no ab crunches or exercises in supine position. You will feel much better and can help have a shorter labor. You got this! 💪🏻

Answer

When it feels too much I would imagine, couldn’t you just go but, go at your own pace. They say to carry on doing what you’ve been doing as long as you’re comfortable.

Answer

A doctor told me to avoid laying on my back to exercise, but that’s not until the third trimester I believe. Otherwise I was told to try to remain as fit as possible because, after all, labor is hard physical work!
