Let's just be honest....

I am a sloth who is doing no excerise at all and am starting to feel just gross.

Which got me thinking...how many of us excercise at least 3 times a week?

If you do, what do you do?

I was thinking of looking for some prenatal Yoga classes....any suggestions?

Re: Let's just be honest....

The only thing I do is walk everyday.

If I am not feeling lazy, I will do some arm exercises with 5lb dumbells but not because I care to shape up.. I am worried that I won't be able to lift the baby once he gains more weight since I have weak arms.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I teach dance 4 days a week, so I guess that's counts as some form of excercise. But I haven't stepped foot in the gym or gone for a legitimate walk in about 3 months.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I lift 24 pounds up about 10 times a day.

I should have the forearms of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

other then that, we have a mommy and me class once a week that we run around at. but nothing other then that.

i play on the floor with her so I guess that counts.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I count walking the dog as my sole form of exercise now. I am too tired for anything else.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I was a complete and utter gym rat before i got pregnant. I tried going to the gym like 4x these last 9 mons but stopped mainly bc i just wanted a break from it after all these yrs.

plus, when i workout, i workout hard and i felt i couldnt do what i used to so i was REALLY bored

Re: Let's just be honest....

I walk and rarely go to the gym I don't like what I am turning into but I really have no motivation

Re: Let's just be honest....

I have been cleaning like crazy for the past few weeks, so that's been my exercise LOL... but before that I was walking all the time.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I have to be honest... I used to exercise a LOT more before I got pregnant. I am just sooooo exhausted, I can't bring myself to do anything. I really don't want to strain myself at all during this first trimester either.

I do want to start power walking tho (just like I did in the good old days) as soon as this exhaustion passes. That's the PLAN at least!!

Re: Let's just be honest....

Chasing my 10 month old around lol. Otherwise NADA, I'm exhausted by the time his bed time rolls around.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I was in good shape before my bfp by working out 4-5x a week so I TRY to work out 3x a week at least. The last month has been rough because I've been busy every night after work. But when I do go, I do about 20-30 mins of cardio (elliptical) and then some weights on my arms and some step work for my legs. I also have a wii fit that i'll do at night if I have the energy.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I used to walk 4/5 days a week up until 29 weeks when I was put on bed rest for 2 1/2 days. I feel alot of pressure and can't be on my feet as much so I've become a couch potato.

Re: Let's just be honest....

not at all. I have a 14 month old, that's enough!

Re: Let's just be honest....

I was also a gym rat before I got my BFP. I went to the gym 3xs a week after by BFP up until about 30 weeks. Now at 35 weeks, I get so tired from the gym and all I do is walk on the treadmill on an incline. Plus, Im so tired from not sleeping during the night I cant find the energy to bring myself there as often.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I try to walk for an hour a few times a week (I also have to walk to get anywhere since we live in a city with no car, but I mean a full-out high paced walk 3 times a week) and I do prenatal pilates once a week at this point. I'm 37 weeks and hoping I can keep it up for the next 3 weeks!!

I haven't done prenatal yoga but I hear it's fantastic and I LOVE the pilates, I think it's helping me a lot.

Once you get into a routine it does get easier.

ETA: I def don't exercise like I did before, this is about all I can handle now!!

Re: Let's just be honest....

I walk, I planned to walk 3 times a week for 45 minutes, but .... honestly its more like once a week with DH, and we often end up at a restaurant after our walk.

I also use my wii fit, boxing and step exercises keep me interested, but its sporadic. I feel out of breath a lot lately so I just end up plopping on the sofa.

Re: Let's just be honest....

I'm horrible- I always plan on going for a walk after work but by the time I get home and cook dinner Im so tired:(

Re: Let's just be honest....

I have been so incredibly tired it takes everything I have just to make it through the day. I keep planning on going to the gym 3 mornings a week but I am taking it easy for now. I hope I will get that burst of energy soon so I can get back to normal.

Re: Let's just be honest....

i was fit prior to bfp...and figured id be exercising etc.

does walking up and down our stairs count?

im sooo busy with another masters, work, and still working on our house that i just dont have the time or energy.

i really wanted to do some yoga which i might start doing on the weekends.

Re: Let's just be honest....

Can you define exercise?











I don't do any.

Re: Let's just be honest....

does moving the food from the plate to my mouth count as exercise?

i've been so tired lately i barely have the energy to do anything! I do plan on starting prenatal yoga once i hit the 2nd tri

Re: Let's just be honest....

I went to the gym 6 days a week before BFP.

I had some spotting in the beginning so the Dr. told me to take it easy. I went back but, I never felt good afterwards so I stopped going - and I'm paying for it now!

I can't wait to head back after the baby is born.

I do walk a couple of miles a day as part of my commute and I do try to walk on the weekends as well
