Spinning Classes?
Has anyone done them or know someone who has done them while pregnant. These were my new obsession before I got my BFP.

Re: Spinning Classes?
I did a few in the beginning, they really kicked my butt but you are in better shape than me.

I guess they're ok for now. I have the heart rate monitor so I've been constantly checking it. I was thinking about as I get further along putting any undue stress on my joints?

Re: Spinning Classes?
I did them occassionally-- but I think your heartrate would get too high doing them now...
I think it's easier to just do cardio at your own pace where you can really monitor your HR.

Re: Spinning Classes?
OMG- i took a class once after college and  I could barely do it then, I could only imagine attempting to do that now! I was in pain for WEEKS and could barely walk or move after the class...

Re: Spinning Classes?
You absolutely can. I did them up until a month before my first was born, my belly was hitting the bar If you work out consistently you know how far to push yourself. And the heartrate monitor is key.

Re: Spinning Classes?
I was a regular in the spinning classes at my gym, but once I got to the 2nd trimester in my other pregnancies, I couldn't hang anymore. I didn't do them at all with this pregnancy.

Re: Spinning Classes?
You really shouldnt have your heartrate that high as a pregnant person.

Re: Spinning Classes?
No one I know did spinning throughout their pregnancy, but my friends are lazy. I just read an article yesterday that said Nicole Kidman took spinning every day, as well as yoga.

Re: Spinning Classes?
Thanks girls. I did kickboxing, step, bellydancing, weights and worked out all the time up until I gave birth with my other two, just not spinning. I know when my heartrate starts to get too high because I always wear the monitor. I was more concerned about the up and down and leaning foward and back motions.

This is actually not true. If you are active- it's FINE to stay as active as before pregnancy. So- if spin classes are the norm- its perfectly fine to continue them. However, for someone who is NOT as active, starting up a new exercise routine is not recommended as it can stress the body too much.
My spin instructor taught classes until her 35th week!

Re: Spinning Classes?
I cant wait to get back into spinning classes. I love them and it really helps you use the belly fat and tone your legs.

Re: Spinning Classes?
When I was preggo with DS I did spin up until I was 6 months pg...I used to spin 3 times a week prior to that though. After 6 months, it was too hard for me to lean down and get the handle bars and it would bother my back
