Exercise???

Question

Anybody exercise while pregnant. So I am not pregnant yet I am on my TWW but I started going to go to the gym to try and get healthy. I want to know if any pregnant ladies exercise and what exercises do you do?

Answer

I did crossfit my entire first pregnancy with modifications. This time around I have done at home workouts with kettlebells, dumbells and prenatal yoga.

Answer

Looking back, I would have gotten in as much exercise as possible in the TWW. I had really awful HG until 16 weeks followed
 by the crazy exhaustion phase until 22 weeks soooo I haven't been getting a move on much lately😳 I think some light cardio and weightlifting would be just fine! Walking, elliptical, 3-5 lb weights for arms, etc. Definitely nothing too intense (HIIT, boot camp, heavy weights) if you're not a regular exerciser.

Answer

What about someone who worked out on and off?  I have always gone to gym but sometimes i am more dedicated than other time.  Since start of summer I have been slacking off.  I am in my TWW now & suddenly got motivation to hit the gym again.  Is it a bad idea? Should I wait until end of cycle to start again

Answer

If you are new to exercise you will need to ease yourself in. I already had an established work out routine and continued weightlifting and HIIT my entire pregnancy. But for someone new to working out you will need to start out slow and build up your routine, not just jump into high intensity workouts. I’d consider hiring a trainer, they will help you establish a workout routine in a safe way.

Answer

I got to a personal trainer every week but had been doing that for over a year before I found out I was pregnant x

Answer

You’re only allowed to exercise if you were working out prior. Even if it was only 1-2 weeks, I’d say it’s a bad time to start. Your body won’t thank you for it. People like that, if you did get pregnant this cycle, you’d only be cleared for low exercise like swimming, walking and yoga. I was going to the gym 2-4 times a week + yoga once a week and stopped gym about a month prior cause I kept getting sick. I can’t go back now, because it’ll increase the risk of injury or miscarriage. (I’m a PT) 
If people were saying they worked out a lot through their whole pregnancy, they were doing it long before they fell pregnant and got cleared by a medical professional.
