Hi All,

I’m pregnant with my second and started teaching group fitness after my first DS, 5 years ago...so while I can navigate my desk job pregnant, I’m wondering how those who teach make it through?  I only teach one class per week right now but I am dreading it. Just soooo tired! I taught last night but had been gone for 3 weeks overseas for my grandfather’s funeral sobused that as my reasoning for light weights (I teach Bodypump).  I have a hard time slot for subs too so it’s hard for me to bail on class last minute if I’m not feeling well.

I work in a fitness center full time. So I teach classes/train groups ~4-5 hours per day. Go lighter in weights if you need to. They’ll understand in a couple of months.

I’m mostly worried about feeling ill and having to talk through it!! I’m extremely anxious about sickness in general

If I’m just not feeling it that day, I’ll just tell class that I feel like a cold is coming on and to bear with me. I teach Fit4Mom Stroller Strides once a week so we’re not using weights, but I generally just move at a slower pace if I’m feeling exhausted.
