Exercise??

Question

Hoping for some advice...I am 4 weeks 2 days with my First and so excited. Have pcos so took a while to conceive and had a chemical pregnancy in December so I’m worried about how tenuous this time could be. For all the mommas who have been here before, any advice on what level of exercise is ok right now? I regularly workout with jogging, HIIT and/or light weight lifting. Hoping to continue and stay active!

Answer

I’ve always heard it’s safe to do whatever you did before you got pregnant.

Answer

Just make sure you are not pushing yourself too hard! Stay hydrated!! And do not allow yourself to overheat. I was doing body pump before I found out I was pregnant. I found that class extremely strenuous so I have stopped because I’m pregnant. My boobs are so freaking sore that I can’t run right now either.. so I’ve been walking 30 minutes a day. It feels like I’m slacking big time lol but at least I’m doing something!

Answer

I’m doing the same HIT, weights and cardio. As before pregnancy but I might slow down 2nd trimester.

Answer

Right now I believe it is fine to continue with what you are doing but listen to your body and rest when you need to... as our belly’s grow we will have to modify some moves. I follow programs on Beachbody on demand. And they have a pre and post natal fitness program which I checked out today because my regular workout was making me cramp ( I am still fairly new to the fitness world.) I also get 30min of walking in and or I go on short bike ride I’ll stop that one soon.

Answer

I try to walk daily, I am going to purchase a yoga ball because that helped me last time. Dont do anything too crazy or push yourself.

Answer

I spin and lift three days a week and run and do interval training 2 days a week. With my first pregnancy my ob told me I can continue what I’ve been doing just not to add in anything new!
