exercise..zumba? yoga?
I am 15 weeks today and I need to start doing something to keep a little in shape. I have noticed lots of jiggles lately! Is zumba ok to do when pregnant? I love it and it really helped me before I was pregnant. Also, when can you start prenatal yoga? I need to find a place in Queens.

Re: exercise..zumba? yoga?
I asked my Doctor and he had no problem with it. Unfortunately I never did it. 
My GFs sister is due any minute and she is a runner. She kept up with running (obviously not logging any miles or anything) and is doing great.

Don't know about zumba, but you can do prenatal yoga at any time during pregnancy. I LOVED it throughout my last pregnancy- it helped me so much! I'm in the process of starting up again- just working out scheduling stuff but I can not wait to start!!

Re: exercise..zumba? yoga?
I zumba, prenatal yoga and do pilates each once per week.
Zumba is TOTALLY safe just take it easy with the jumping and squatting, do what feels good for your body. I started prenatal yoga last week at 12 weeks. Most studios recommend you wait until then just because of exhaustion.
I LOVE Prenatal, it's awesome to share the practice with other women at various stages of their pregnancy...I hope you have a good studio near you!
I live near Astoria and go to the Yoga Room in LIC or Astoria and Simply Fit AStoria for Zumba.

Re: exercise..zumba? yoga?
I loved Zumba and yoga! I took it up until I was 17 weeks and was put on pelvic rest. My instructor said she has seen people take it through their pregnancies. My yoga instructor would modify positions for me in my regular yoga class.
I really miss the gym!

DH's cousin was the same. She ran a half marathon late in her pregnancy!
