What Are You Doing For Exercise?!

Question

I’m about 6 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. I found out I was pregnant around 5 weeks. Prior to becoming pregnant, I exercised A LOT, 7x a week, 2-3 hours a day (cardio + weights). Never taking a rest day. 
When I found out I was pregnant, I shifted my exercise to be a little less impactful and strenuous and only about 90 minutes a day... My exercise is now: walking on an incline on the treadmill (for 90 min, call me crazy but I love it and it makes me feel so good) and then 2-4 x a week (if I’m feeling up to it because right now my biggest symptom is fatigue) I lift weights, but I reduced the weight to a max of 40 pounds. 
I’d love to hear what you guys are up to when it comes to working out while pregnant, it’d be fun to try out other activities!

Answer

Power Yoga 5-6 days a week. I’ve added a few modifications but this is my normal workout that I’ve just kept up!

Answer

I do prenatal yoga 1x per week, swim laps 2x per week, do a pregnancy workout class with weights and pelvic floor stuff 2x week, and do a mellow hike 1x week.

Answer

My goal is to weightlift 3x a week & swim laps 3x a week. Realistically, I get 2 & 2 in on a good week. The swim lanes are only open for short periods of time & I avoid the gym at busy times, so life interferes with the schedule I try to have...
At first I was trying to divide my weights in upper & lower body, about 30-45mins in duration. But since my attendance is shotty I switched it to total body workouts, 60-90mins. Oh, I also do a 5min walk for warm up. I'm not super concerned with cardio & burning calories since I'm trying to gain muscle (which requires a calorie surplus). Which is also why if I have to choose, I'll weightlift over swim.
With swimming, I do 45minsof laps. Crawl, pull buoy & flutterboard kicks. And I'll finish with a few laps of backstroke.

Answer

I’ve scaled back from 5-6 days a week to 3-4 days a week now.  I’m dragging if I exercise every single day.  I follow a channel called pop sugar fitness, and do lots of home exercises.  Some videos are cardio, others HIIT, Tabata, and strength training.  I try to get at least one day of intense cardio as well as one day intense strength training per week.  On my rest days I go for 1-2 mile walks.  I stopped running around 15 weeks, I couldn’t take my belly bouncing around anymore

Answer

I’ve been weight lifting 5 days a week and now that I’m getting larger and having more aches I’ve added in daily stretching and long walks. I can honestly say my pregnancy has been awesome thus far and I think working out has definitely contributed!
