Missycrissy requested someone else post when she hasn't posted by 10am, so I'll get it started! What's everyone doing for a workout/activity today?

Workout tip for the day: When you're not feeling like exercising one day (or more!), keep in mind that exercise now will help in the long run (taken from inhabitots.com):

After training many clients through their pregnancies and being by their side through their labor and delivery as their doula, Skoog says she now realizes the importance of exercising during pregnancy. "Staying physically fit during pregnancy can make all the difference between a tired, draining birthing process and a strong, healthy labor," she says. Skoog compares the physicality of pregnancy to that of running a marathon:

"Imagine the work it takes to train for a marathon. Leading up to the big race, the athlete must improve her cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, flexibility and nutrition. Similarly, the pregnant woman trains for labor and delivery. In the weeks and months leading up to her due date, she can attain a higher rate of cardio, strengthen the muscles she?ll need for giving birth and toting around the new little person and do stretches to ease discomforts and open the body in preparation for delivery. Additionally, she needs proper nutrition to give her baby the best chance of a healthy life ahead."

So let's keep up the good work!!!

    I'm headed to yoga after work and hoping to squeeze a little cardio in beforehand.

    Ok I'll admit it. When we had that heat wave (in CT) I took a few days off cuz my asthma just wouldnt let me walk outside, and havent dont it since!! Its been almost a week and I feel guilty, but I am more tired this week than I have been in a few. Hoping to get back into the swing of things!!

    I'm thinking about doing my Bosu workout when its too hot, but not sure.
