Any Orange Theory ladies out there?

Question

I’m 20 weeks and still doing orange theory. I was going 3 times a week before the pregnancy and am now down to 1 class a week. I power walk and occasionally jog towards the end of the cardio segment. I’ve found that my coaches aren’t super familiar with pregnancy ab moves so I modify on my own (planks, side planks, etc)
How do you like to modify your class?

Answer

I’m 20 weeks as well and still going to Orangetheory 1-2 times a week (I’m trying to supplement the rest of the week with walking/stretching)! Some of the coaches are really good about giving some alternate movements and others just notice that I never do crunches haha. Kayla Itsines recently posted a video on Instagram with some pregnancy safe moves (a fitness influencer, she’s in her second trimester too) and I’ve been going back to reference it for some ideas before class 😊 my doctor recommended I stop any sort of crunching motion but said planks are okay until it gets to be uncomfortable (I like to do toe taps if there’s some sort of rep scheme number to get to). Some of the other moves I’ve been doing instead - dumbbell deadlifts, different squat variations, dumbbell flies, etc. Hope that helps!! Way to rock it at OTF Mama!! Keep up the great work 💪

Answer

I’m 21 weeks and go about 3-5 times per week. I modify ab exercises to bird dogs, modified side plank crunch, standing crunches or bird dogs. Good luck!
