Kickboxing classes?

Question

I used to run and take kickboxing classes often before getting pregnant. As soon as I got pregnant I stopped kickboxing classes because I thought I wasn't supposed to do abs and core work anymore. I talked to my doctor today about safe exercises since I've gained weight pretty quickly, and she said it's totally fine for me to take kickboxing classes and do ab exercises! I was shocked! Are you guys still doing sit up and push ups?? Is anyone taking kickboxing classes?? I'm just so nervous I'm going to hurt my baby!

Answer

I’ve been doing all of the same workouts as I did pre-pregnancy (cycle, strength, Tabata) When I’m not nauseas or exhausted that is 😂🙈 Just listen to your body (and your dr lol)! I think some ab exercises in second trimester is when some are not recommended, ie laying flat on your back

Answer

Yep I do every weight based exercise I did before, including abs. It feels just fine. The only thing I can’t do is run, it’s uncomfortable on my ligaments

Answer

I still do ab exercises and push ups. I modify if I have to. The only thing I've stopped is boxing because it's against other people and I just don't want to take any chances

Answer

I still do both push ups and sit ups! Just listen to your body ❤️

Answer

Yep! I’ve been doing my kickboxing classes the entire pregnancy, granted I used to go 4/5 times a week and that has lessened to 2/3 a week. I still do most of the exercises but modify some and usually need more breaks. I’m 14 weeks this week!
