What kind of exercise are you doing?

I have totally and completely fallen off the wagon and now the cold and snow are NOT helping!

I haven't run since I was spotting early on, so that's out.

What are you doing?

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

i generally do spin (with reduced resistance) 1-2X week and pilates 1X a week

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I stopped running in August and have done nothing since I found out I was pregnant Dec 16. I have been on the elliptical. My Dr. advised not going over 140 Heartrate which I am barely breaking a sweat at. I am thinking about getting in the pool! And maybe try yoga.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I was doing everything I was doing before becoming pregnant. I did stop running though. It was too strenuous. I did the elliptical instead. I still do weights for legs, arms and back. I didn't do any ab work after the first trimester.

I was put on pelvic rest at 22 weeks for a low lying placenta and am only light walking and lifting light weight (only arms). Thats the only exercise I was cleared to do until I find out if my placenta has moved up.

As long as you don't have any complications you can do anything you did before. Just make sure you know when to stop and don't overdue it.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

when i started the process of IVF i wasnt allowed to do any exercise. before that i was at the gym at least twice a week, sometimes more when i got home early enough. my RE advised me not to go back to the gym for the first 12w. now that im 16w i havent gone back once...

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

walking to the fridge and back.

and my 10 lb weights for my arms.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I have to start yoga. Just have to dust off the dvds. As well as find them!

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

Is that even a word "Exercise"...



I honestly walk a lot. If I skip a day of walking I make up by walking an extra hour the following day. I try not to sit unless its necessary. But I think it will help me as the Big Day Approaches!

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

Mostly curls....the food to my mouth!

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

yoga, light arm weights, and run/walking. i try to exercise 4-5 days a week, it really helps my mood and makes me feel better about myself.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

up until about 2 weeks ago I was still going on treadmill everyday and doing light weights.
I am at a high risk for preterm delivery again so I was told to take it a bit easy. So now I just do the weights and as soon as the snow clears I'll just walk outside.

Yoga...

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

i jog/walk on the treadmill 1 -2 times a week and take classes in the city at a place called physique 57 1-2 times a week.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I do zumba like 3-4 times a week. I've modified it so that it's not as high impact. Once it gets nice out, I'll be walking outside. I also lift light weights for my arms. I plan on trying yoga also.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I walk to and from the printer and bathroom at work...and I park far away in the parking lot I was told no activity, so I'm all too happy to abide.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I was walking every day for 30-40 min but with this cold weather I just cant do it, and im starting to feel restless

So now I stretch, do some yoga stuff, and use my exercise ball. I really need to start up again with my weights becuase my arms are looking flabulous lately! Plus im going to need to strength to lug the baby gear around once he comes lol.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

I was walking on the boardwalk at the beach in the beginning of the pregnancy but it is too cold now. I used to be a member of XSport and take the classes (spin, pilates, abs etc.) and workout on the treadmill and eliptical but I am not a member anymore. So lately I haven't been doing much. A lot going on here so I consider the walking of running back forth places is my exercise..haha Also cleaning is exercise to me.

Re: What kind of exercise are you doing?

Right before i got PG i worked out 4-5 days mostly running (i did a 1/2 marathon 1 mo before I got PG).

I worked out maybe 1-2 times a week 1st tri bc I was too sick.

Now I probably have GD so I am back to 5 times or more a week light impact and doing weight training light. If I eat high carb I will do a second workout of light cardio to keep glucose down.

The last PG I was very active and induced labor was about 6 hours and 2 easy pushes! I was running within a week. I'm hoping for a repeat performance esp since I live 2 block from the hospital!
