How much is too much exercise while pregnant?

Question

I'm kind of confused because a lot of my apps are saying that exercises are so helpful and important while pregnant but on the other hand I fear that working out may cause problems. Does anybody know of any good tips to give me or what I should and shouldn't be doing?

Answer

I'm not pregnant yet but I love the elliptical :) its low impact for me and my knees but helps me slim down better then running on a treadmill so I plan to continue to do that every now and then after getting pregnant to stay in shape :)

Answer

Don't do anything you didn't do before you were pregnant. If you weren't a jogger before you got pregnant, don't start while you're pregnant.  
Walking is great for pregnant women. Here is a great article about it: http://www.babycenter.com/0_great-pregnancy-exercise-walking_7863.bc

Answer

Answer

You should carry on doing what you did before, just modified to suit your changing body. E.g. if you did yoga before, avoid any twisting motions through your torso or positions on your back. 
If you didn't exercise regularly before, you should just do light exercise like walking or swimming as it's good exercise but low impact. 
We still don't know what causes most miscarriages, but the general consensus is that YOU can't cause it, by continuing your normal lifestyle.

Answer

Ive cut way down in pregnancy this time because i had a miscarriage. Im pretty sure that running didnt cause it but it still scared me a great deal. Now i have let go of intense exercises that i used to do in exchange for moderate activity. I walk everyday and do light free weight activities to keep my arms and back toned. Do what you are comfortable with and just remember that activity is key not to do hardcore stuff to lose weight
