What are you doing to keep in shape?

benifer224 · May 2009

I am wondering what everyone is doing to keep in shape. If it is helping, stay toned or if they are getting toned in the process. I really need to get my arms and legs nice and toned. My legs were looking good when I was running but I haven't been doing that for about 6wks now. If I don't get these legs looking decent I will turn into a hermit this summer. LOL

Walking on a 4.5-5 incline at a speed of 4.3. Or using the elliptical trainer at a high resistance. I occasionally do some squats and leg lifts but find the cardio to be more important.

Lifting the fork to my mouth... its working!?

prenatal yoga one time a week plus lots of walking! Love the yoga. It is so great.

I am......eating a lot of fruit?? LOL. I never was big into working out before getting pregnant. And now with what it took to finally get pregnant, I am nervous to "damage" anything if I start now. Plus I have placenta previa so I don't want to risk bleeding.

I take DS for a 2.5-3 mile walk every evening. I have been going to the gym less and less.

I'm concentrating on gaining weight right now. Plus- it hurts to walk right now. Hopefully that will go away soon. The nurses all say it should go away once this growth spurt is over.

I ordered a DVD "pilates during pregnancy" it just came yesterday though so I havent used it yet. The reveiws on amazon were pretty good though. I will let you know how it turns out!

pilaties always make my butt and legs look good. but i havent done that in ummm lets see a month or so . oooops

JulesLuvsSean · May 2009

I've been walking about 2 miles, 4 times a week and doing some weights at home for my arms. ?We'll see how long it lasts!

sunshine_77 · May 2009

strength training class at the gym 1x a week (i have cut back, and left early when they do abs) and then walking on the treadmill at a 5.0 incline (to keep the butt and legs in shape) I have tried to do weights after this, but have found that my energy is gone and don't really have the discipline on my own anymore?

i think i've maintained my pre pregancy legs and arms, although wish i were a little more toned.?

This, also walking to kitchen, walking to toilet....

benifer224 · May 2009

So I am really thinking I need to get on that treadmill with an incline.

Thanks ladies!

SurfBride4 · May 2009

Running about 5 days a week & weights 2-3 days. With dd#1 I ran the same amount the entire pregnancy...even the day I delivered! I felt so much better having done so & I plan on doing the same thing this time.

If the shape you mean is round, I'd say my frequent Chipotle cravings are contributing to being "in shape."

Seriously, I try to go for walks with DH and the dog as often as I can. I'd like to get into prenatal yoga, but the classes are so darn expensive!

OliveBerry · May 2009

I ordered a prenatal Yoga video. I had a nice time watching it while I sat on the couch eating cookies.

coconutbug · May 2009

I walk the dogs each day, do some light weights a couple times a week, go to spin class a couple times a week, do some walking/jogging on the arctrainer at the gym, and am going to start swimming regularly once the local pool opens for the summer.

clbaby · May 2009

I've been working out 3 times a week with my WII "Fitness Coach" and walking ariding my bake the other 4 days.

Round is a shape.

smilelari · May 2009

I've been exercising about 5 times a week, mostly cardio. I've been keeping a couple nights of weight training in there as well.

I'm thinking I need to add some yoga in there as well. Childbirth class instructor seems to think that yoga is good preparation for labor (learning to relax and all that)

mrsxoxo1598 · May 2009

eating cookies... i'm round!

i wish i was joking i just started walking and lifting light weights today, i realize just how out of shape i am

::stepping away from the oreos::?

Samidez · May 2009

During my 1st tri, I mostly walked the dogs every evening because I was nervous each time I tried to run on the treadmill. But I've now returned to the gym almost everyday. I do something different each day...run, walk on the incline, stairmaster & bike. Whatever keeps it interesting. I feel much better for it!

gurzillo · May 2009

I am doing water aerobics 4 nights a week. Once class is in the shallow end and my other class is deep water jogging. I love doing this and it is definitely helping me to stay in shape.

I second that~

jday1229 · May 2009

My mom was recently laid off and since the doctor has brought the hammer down on my weight, we're walking together most mornings, about 8 miles a week. It's nice that I get to spend time with my mom!

::tries to speak through latte & bagel as little pieces fly everywhere:: ummmm....
