HapPapFam · March 2009

I have been walking as well. Nothing more then before.

bethskye · March 2009

I'm walking and riding the stationary bike while I read pregnancy books. DH sends me out of the gym to cool off every once in a while and makes sure I'm hydrated. I feel so dumb right now that I really can't be trusted to do it.

mb~zf · March 2009

I'm continuing with my trainer in a regular kettlebell routine. I'm also walking and running. I'll be starting prenatal yoga in a couple of weeks as well.

Amanda Parsley · March 2009

I have been walking.. I was going to start riding my bike now that it is warm out, but then I was told that isnt allowed so now I am not. Oh and I forgot to every give you my age its 19.

Jacquiemark · March 2009

Before my BFP I was going to the gym and running at least 4 times per week. Well, now I have slacked off, I am trying to lift some weights at least twice a week. I am not running much but doing a lot of speed walking and walking up on an incline. I am just so tired by the time I get home from work. I want to work in some swimming once a week b/c that is such a great overall workout.Well see though..

gabsgabster · March 2009

I was running about 15-20 miles a week and now I am just jogging/walking about 10. I have really been slacking. I think I am just a lot more tired and am milking that excuse.

Redrose101307 · March 2009

i really didn't exercise before my BFP, but now that the weather is getting a little nicer i want to start walking and i'll be doing prenatal yoga

peas out · March 2009

I didn't do anything pre BFP and I'm not doing much now, just eating better. I bought a prenatal pilates DVD and I'm on the look out for a good prenatal yoga one too. I plan on starting these in 2 tri.

mommyof2texans · March 2009

Hi, I'm new to this board and just emailed my info to be added. I'm Joni, age 36. This is my third but my DH's first child so we are pretty excited!

I was terrible about excercising before this pregnancy and I'm doing nothing now either lol. I am planning to start taking walks with the kiddos and DH now that the weather is already getting nicer here.

sunnydays99 · March 2009

Hi everyone!

I hadn't been exercising much before my bfp so I'm trying to walk lots and I will also be doing some prenatal yoga and aquafit classes.

LovingLife! · March 2009

Good morning ladies!?

I'm really active anyway, so I'm just going to continue everything I usually do for as long as I can!

Surfing, swimming, running, pilates, bicycling...

I've heard multiple times that your labor and recovery are easier if you are active, so I'm not going to stop just because I'm pg! ?

wakko · March 2009

2 weeks of the crappy flu kept me from exercising recently, but I've gotten back into my regular stuff. I'll go to the gym 2-3 times a week, and yoga, hiking, or wii fit at home a couple more times a week if I can manage it. Don't plan on changing my activity, though I haven't gotten the first trimester exhaustion yet, so we'll see.

DiscusCoach · March 2009

Walking and coaching shot/discus.
I haven't gone to the gym since my BFP. I've had some spotting issues which has made me a little paranoid even though there is no logical connection to the spotting and the gym.

Second Tri I want to start the pg water aerobics and yoga classes at the Y.

karlybarly · March 2009

QOTD - What sorts of exercise are you doing? Is this different than what you did before your BFP?

At the moment none only b/c I have been feeling so awful. But my DH and I usually take walks and I am going to start with yoga soon I think.

teeah22 · March 2009

I haven't been doing anything since my BFP. Before that, I was working out with a trainer 2-3 times a week and doing pilates once a week. Financially I can't swing the trainer right now and other stuff has been keeping me away from pilates but I'll be starting that back up this week.

diva741 · March 2009

I was not doing much excercise before my BFP, but I do intend to start getting some kind of excercise in (walking) and doing some prenatal yoga(offered at the Y).

amyhouse1046 · March 2009

Happy Hump Day!

I was doing quiet a bit of exercise before my BFP. I worked with a trainer, lifting twice a week and cardio 6 days a week. I've been slacking this week due to being so tired and can't get up in the am. But I'm going to try to keep up with cardio 3 to 4 times a week and maybe minimal weights.

sheremy · March 2009

For now I walk at least 2 miles everyday with our dogs and i'm doing prenatal yoga too. I didn't exercise much more than walking the dogs before my BFP so i'm trying to stay healthy throughout this pregnancy so i don't balloon up. I hope you are all feeling well today and i look forward to keeping in touch with all of you throughout this process.

?

historychick79 · March 2009

Hi there--I'm also new, BFP today!--and just sent my email request to be added, expecting on Nov 20th. I've done walking/jogging, power yoga and hand weights. I'll probably just keep to walking and downgrade the yoga positions a bit, but definitely plan to keep fit as much as possible. Unfortunately there aren't any prenatal yoga classes in our area but I will use videos to make sure I'm doing modifications correctly.

amr · March 2009

Right now I am working out as normal. 4-5 days a week weights and running or eliptical. Now that the weather is getting nicer I will take the running outside.

mmb522 · March 2009

Right now all I'm doing is walking to the toilet to puke. When I feel better I'll do yoga and walking

mrsH_777 · March 2009

Good morning! Because I wasn't doing a whole lot of strenuous exercise before my BFP (shame on me!), now is apparently not the best time to start. I'm going on walks with my husband and eating a lot healthier for now, and once our neighborhood pool opens up, I'll try to do some swimming.

allinduetime · March 2009

add me, please!

amanda, edd: 11/19/09

qotd: i have a $90/month gym membership i'm paying for and don't use... so i guess it's time to start. a few months ago i was going twice a day and doing treadmill, elliptical, and weights.

dnh · March 2009

add me please...just sent you an email...thanks!

etteyam · March 2009

Happy Hump Day, Ninjas! I used to go to the gym 3-4x/wk and take cardio and strengthening classes. I stopped going 1 week before I got my BFP coz I was feeling lazy. I just went back yesterday and walked on the treadmill for 20 mins, did some upper body weights. H and I have also been taking walks around the neighborhood.

imavera · March 2009

I live right next to a park, so I'm going to try and take a walk around it every day. I used to do it fairly frequently, but not every day.

Natasha13 · March 2009

I have been walking lots and swimming a couple times a week. About the same as before. Tonight my girlfirend and I are trying prenatal yoga!

spectater · March 2009

Well, I'm now getting over the worst cold I've had in at least a decade, so I haven't worked out for almost a week. Prior to that, I was working out just as often, but with much lower intensity. I run about 3-4 days a week, do elliptical 1-2 days a week, and do yoga once a week. I always take one day a week off.

Lizzy17 · March 2009

No excersie for me whats so ever. I am extremely tired when I get home from work. All I want to do is lay down and relax. Hopefully soon I can do something.

I lost 5lbs. this week. Is this normal?

short1882 · March 2009

before the bfp I was working out about 4x week with cardio and weights. I have been continuing my same routine, basing what I do on how I feel. Only difference is that I am lifting lighter weights than before.

Amanda&Chris · March 2009

I run about 4 times/week anywhere from 3-5 miles. I work out with a personal trainer once a week and also do a strength training class called TRX (love it!) once a week. If I'm feeling ambitious I also do body pump once a week. It's been nice out this week so I've also been taking the dog and DD on long walks.

That was my pre-pg exercise routine and I am going to try to stick to it as long as I can.

heather1406 · March 2009

I have been walking a lot, and lifting light weights when I have the energy...I'm a PE teacher so I get to walk a lot just with that but I will usually take the dogs on a walk when it is nice out.?

I got to see the baby's heartbeat today so that was super exciting!

?

bostonfingerlakes07 · March 2009

Chasing a very mobile 9 month old and doing arm workouts...that's about it.

I was doing yoga once a week until I found out I was pregnant and I'm thinking about doing prenantal yoga once a week...mostly to get out of the house because DH is not catching the hint that I need time to myself!

rissa66 · March 2009

I purchased an elliptical at the end of January b/c I could never commit to the gym and figured if it was in the basement I would have no excuse not to use it. I really love it and started using it recently mon-fri. I slacked a little this week, but actually just got off a few minutes ago and I feel great.

sdc06 · March 2009

I've been going 3-5 days/week at the gym doing cardio and weights (same as before). I also take DS outside for walks in his stroller. I hope I get to continue working out this pregnancy. Last time, I was put on bed rest at 22 weeks for pre term labor.

Oh, and my MD's office called today and moved my first appt and u/s up to April 6th...yay! I can't wait!

vanessaNOV2 · March 2009

Since I've been laid off work its been hard to motivated myself to do anything but watch tv....so I've been trying out some Fit TV excerise shows, cardio, dance, and yoga...I used to play indoor soccer during the week but had to stop cause of pregnancy...I would go on walks or jogs outside but its tooo cold.

Pinupgirl300 · March 2009

Hi! I'm Tish! My fiancee and I are expecting our first little angel on Nov. 14th! Angel

Addicted2thenot · March 2009

Hi everybody :O)

Just got my BFP today with a November 16th due date (I think)

YAAAY

I have a three year old, chasing him is the bulk of my exercise

I plan on walking more & starting prenatal yoga soon.

?

redhead0525 · March 2009
