1st Trimester

Who's working out?

Just yesterday I finally pulled myself off my ever-growing ass and popped in the workout video (cause there's no way I'm going to a gym!). I did it again today and it's not so bad. Actually felt pretty good.

If you haven't done anything yet, then I recommend Gabrielle Reese's The Complete Fit Pregnancy Video. There's a 15 min workout for each month of pregnancy plus a warm up and cool down. Not so bad.?

Re: Who's working out?

  • probably none of you since jumping up and down will kill the baby.
  • and who's lying about working out just so you can look cool on your board??

  • I walk on the tredmill for 30 a day.

    LMFAO.    

  • That would cause shaken baby syndrom!!!!

  • I've just been walking on the treadmill...it's not my normal routine...but it's all I feel up to right now.

  • I do ab exercises still with my yoga ball and do arm resistance work with the elastic band for it.  I want a good pre-natal workout DVD since we don't have a gym in our apartment at this new place (and I refuse to pay for a gym membership nor pay a lesser fee to work out on my lunch break on campus and be nasty the rest of the day at the office).

    I've never done yoga before, but I think I want a pre-natal yoga work out because I hope to stay natural for the birth, and I hear the stretches and poses really help your muscles and joints learn to relax, which you have to make them do during labor.  Anyone have good pre-natal yoga workout DVDs to recommend?

  • Headed to the gym today to go (slowly) on the elliptical for half an hour. I also walk the dogs a few times a day (mostly so they don't poop in the house but a little so I can have some exercise).
  • I am trying to go three times a week.  But it is tough because I feel like crap.  I have a trainer I see sometimes and so that is hopefully going to help with keeping muscle tone.
  • I try and ride a stationary bike, elliptical or walk on the treadmill for 30-40 minutes 4-5 days a week.  I did a light weight-lifting routine on Saturday, but haven't done it since.

  • "and who's lying about working out just so you can look cool on your board??"

    ?Hysterical! Working out=looking cool?? I never knew!??

  • working out? I work out my arms as I lift food from my plate to my mouth...working out is overrated..boo hisss

  • OMG! actually exercising is worse for the baby than say, hula dancing! shaken baby sydrome at its worst!
  • I'll be honest, I don't work out at this point. I'm way too tired.
  • DSteed- definitely try prenatal yoga! I've always enjoyed yoga, but I definitely think it helped w/ keeping in shape, and then I was blessed w/ an easy delivery.I believe I used the Crunch dvd?

    I make it to the gym twice/wk and use the eliptical and bike, for about a total of 30 min. I also stretch and do abs on the ball. I'll also be getting a new prenatal workout video- my old one was never returned to me. Then I'll be working out 3/4 times/wk. It's hard getting to the gym w/ a toddler!

  • I have been trying to walk on the treadmill or do the elliptical 35-40 minutes a few times a week. I have also lifted light weights a few times. I just got a dvd from netflix that I am going to try too. I find when I work out it helps my energy a little.

    Ditto!  I plan to start again though once this extreme fatigue and m/s has worn off a little.

  • I'm still working out.  I worked out all the way up to the day before DD was born in my last pg so I'm doing the same this pg.  I teach spin classes twice a week and I'm trying to run 10-12 miles a week.  My running has slowed considerable but I'm still feeling comfortable doing it.
  • I try and get my butt to the gym three times a week but the month before i got prego i was not working out at all so it is hard getting back into it. So i do elptical and treadmill and prenatal yoga at home.
  • I am still biking 4 days a week (today even).  If I don't my energy goes to crap really quick.
