Were/Are you nervous to exercise during your 1st trimester?

Question

Just found out I am pregnant with our first. A month ago I started using the elliptical or doing some type of at home body weight strength training exercise for 30-45mins every day. I’ve been reading that continuing a healthy exercise routine is great but it still just makes me nervous. Just wondering if others felt or feel the same.

Answer

I’ve felt nervous, but it hasn’t stopped me from exercising. My doc said to keep up my regular exercise routine except to try to keep my heart rate below 150...I’m still lifting weights, rowing, and running, just pulled back a little on my speed. I’m sure I’ll have to modify more once I start showing, but for now, not much has changed.

Answer

I worked out my entire pregnancy the first time around. The dr told me as long as I wasn’t over exerting myself or trying to do anything I didn’t normally do. Listen to your body and stop when you feel like you need to stop. Everyone’s different!

Answer

I would do just mild workouts

Answer

As long as you aren’t pushing yourself to the point of being sore that’s probably fine. Using the elliptical is also very low impact. Just listen to your body and doctor and take breaks when you need to 😊
