When did you start exercising again?

Question

Feeling a tad better and trying to find the energy between my almost three year old and my pregnant self to start working out again. Any suggestions? I have gained about five pounds and i am almost 15 weeks pregnant. Being that I’m a little overweight to begin with, I’m trying to keep this weight under control- I gained 75 lbs with my son!

Answer

Glad you’re starting to feel better! I was still able to do walking and yoga in the first trimester, but now when I think about yoga I just can’t get the energy. Walking has been great for me. I walk my dog in the mornings, and it’s only about 15 minutes but I feel pretty tired after those 15 minutes. I just spoke to my OB about this and she suggested that if I wanted to do more, take breaks often or slip up your workouts. I am going to start walking twice a day now. 
Any OB would advise you to make sure you don’t strain yourself. Only workout at the level you were before getting pregnant, or just walk and/or do yoga.

Answer

Thank you!! I was always super active before my first and then when I lost fifty pounds after my second. I was so sick with this one I lost all motivation

Answer

I started working out again around week 14-15 because I got a lot of energy and motivation back.  Look up Lucy Wyndham-Reed on YouTube. She has awesome 7 minute workout challenges to ease you back in!
