Hello everyone,
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I belong to Golds Gym. I currently take Body Pump and Spinning classes. I spoke with instructors for both classes and they said that both classes are relatively safe for pregnant women. In fact, both instructors were at one time pregnant and teaching the class...my body Pump instructor was 8 mths prego before she stopped. They both said that I can continue on with my classes until I no longer feel comfortable.
Thoughts? Also, are there any runners out there? I also completed my first half at 9 weeks prego(didn't find out I was prego until 8 weeks so I was training the entire time and didn't even know it). Are you going to continue running? If so, how many miles do you think is safe/week?
Re: Any of you continuing with your workout classes?
I have continued working out throughout most of my pregnancy. I do low impact jazzercise 3-4 days a week and modify the weight lifting quite a bit. I am 34 weeks pregnant, and have no problem. There are so many benefits to it as long as you are in tune with your body!
I will probably continue it for about another month then at about 38 weeks I will probably just stick to aerobic walking.
Happy Pre-natal Exercising!
