Where do I start???

Question

Before I got pregnant, I was working out a good 5 days per week. I did the treadmill for cardio and then had a routine with weights, but nothing crazy. My kids got sick from the child care at the gym in January and it has been circling through our family ever since. That on top of being in the first trimester and severely lacking energy, I just haven't done much. Not a first time mom and have always been told that its ok to keep exercising. Well, I'm not sure what to do since I wasn't active when I got preggo and haven't been this entire 14 weeks. I think I know how to go about this by slowly and lightly getting back into a routine, but would love fresh thoughts/ideas. Especially if anyone had this experience too❤TIA

Answer

I don’t know your usual routine, but with my first and second I take the first trimester really easy and just walk. Then I get back into my normal routine which is walking daily and weight training 5-6x a week. The first week I go back I just do pretty light weights and high reps and do full body lifting 3x a week and then the next week I go back into my regular routine and just start with low weights and then go up as usual.

I stopped working out around the beginning of the year too! I have finals next week and was planning to start a new routine then since ive been stressed with projects and studying. I  just found out Im pregnant, about 4.5 weeks now and Im wondering the same thing. I think Im going to start walking on incline and alternating that with swimming laps. and maybe some pilates and yoga. I much prefer weights and running but I'll wait to see what the dr says

Answer

I am 13w2d with baby #4 and used to exercise 6x/week. It feels as if I have zero energy now that I'm further along than in the beginning and am struggling to do anything. I still try and do low impact exercises on fitness blender (youtube) and try to get in  walks a few times a week. I'm waiting for this "energy" everyone seems to have in their second trimester but it seems to be going the opposite for me
