Anyone else lose interest in normal workouts ?

Question

Hi ladies 
I lost all my drive to workout about 3 weeks after conception before I knew I was pregnant, I thought something was wrong and then bam- pregnant! 
This is NOT like me at all, Iv been active my whole life and workout 5-6 days a week religiously. Is this normal for first trimester? Is this my bodies way of protecting my baby and forcing me to rest? I’m cool with the rest I just wonder if anyone else who works out alot has lost interest as well.

Answer

Yup! I was super super active pre pregnancy. My morning sickness really hit and I had to stop doing my intense work outs. I replaced with taking my dogs for really long walks instead!

Answer

Yes. Your body is working extremely hard right now to grow that baby. Its normal to be unmotivated and feel the need to relax. Give your body what its asking for. Walking is a great replacement. Just go for as long as your body will let you.

Answer

Yes! I was a very active person before pregnancy as well. This is my second pregnancy and from experience, the first trimester is always hard. It's okay to take rest, your body is doing a lot right now! My personal advice though - try to stay in your routine of being active, even though you don't feel like it.  I find that the hardest part is just starting. Once I start working out, the blood flow helps improve my energy and I feel so much better after. Start with something easy just to get your body moving. Maybe some walking, yoga, or a fun YouTube HITT workout and see if you feel like you can add in some extra. If you break your routine, it's even harder to try to get back into it later on.
