Can you still get fit while pregnant?

Question

In the middle of my fitness journey and I am now pregnant. Can I still workout and maintain my goals while pregnant? I was making so much progress and I don’t want to lose it.

Answer

Yes. You can continue to do whatever you were doing pre-pregnancy as long as you’re not high risk. I just wouldn’t go harder.

Answer

Of course. Just make sure you’re getting enough calories and listen to your body.

Answer

I think the general rule of thumb is you can exercise to what your body is already conditioned to, thats why women who went to the gym regularly can still lift weights with their doctors approval, but just be careful about exercising your core directly because it can cause the muscles to seperate more than they naturally would and it's difficult or sometimes impossible to fix this naturally so depending on the severity might need surgery. Always ask your doctor

Answer

You can but it will be much harder! I had just lost almost 100lb in the last few years and was basically at my goal / maintenance phase so I had a great routine - the minute I got pregnant my energy dropped to 0 and I couldn't keep anything down that wasn't hash browns or plain bread! 
If your workout routine lags during pregnancy don't give yourself a hard time, focus on knowing that you can do it again and just looking after yourself now :)
If I can manage to eat a vegetable or some fruit during the day and get my dogs out for a 30 minute walk I'm calling that a success! (Previous to pregnancy I called 2hrs in the gym and a mostly raw vegan diet a success, things change 😂)

Answer

You can but take it easy. They say if you’re used to working out you can continue but not to start anything new that you never did before. I’d talk to your dr first

Answer

Yes, absolutely. Just be sure to listen to your body, don’t overwork yourself or push yourself too hard.
