Exercise Routine

SenoraKristin · July 2009

If you were a regular exerciser before BFP, what have you started doing differently? Have you modified anything yet?

I worked out with the same weight lifting routine, cardio until 14 weeks with my first. Then, I had to decrease my weights lifted and slow down on the running.

the past 2 1/2 weeks, I've been so nauseous I could only get in about 2-3 30 minute easy walks each week. I started on an anti-nausea med this w/e but it makes me exhausted. Crap. I'm hoping to pick back up where I left off with my cardio (powerwalking, hiking, mountain biking) and weights (light weights though) when I feel better

I was doing the Shred but quit- I tried a few times but felt crampy and extremely tired, so it didn't feel "right". ?So now I'm just walking a lot with DS in the jogger. ?When I was pregnant with DS I just did a lot of walking and felt pretty good up until the end.

I've been too tired to do my normal routine. But I haven't stopped all together. Right now I walk 3 days a week after dinner for 45 minutes & I use my Elliptical 2 days a week for 1/2 an hour. (this changed from my 6 days a week on the Elliptical for 45 minutes to an hour)

I was doing the shred and working out 4-5 days/week. I switched to only walking a few times a week.

This is what I was just wondering! I just got my BFP on Friday. I see that some of you still spin and do cardio classes. I wasn't sure if that was still okay or not. I have an appoint. with doctor for the first visit, so thought I'd ask all those questions then. But good to see I can somewhat keep up the same routine.

I have switched out running with the elliptical; I have better luck keeping my heart rate under control than I do running. (Also, running still makes me feel like I have to pee constantly.) DD and I go for at least one walk a day, which is new, since I was working until recently (teacher). I am trying to incorporate some yoga and haven't really changed my weights a lot (I am more sporadic than I should be with those.)

I do power walking and stair climbing for 30 minutes twice a day, 5 days a week. I'll keep this routine until my body suggest changes and then I'll adjust. I have slowed my stair climbing pace down a tid bit, less bouncing.

I am still doing Spin but keeping a better eye on my heart rate... I just slow it down if it starts to get up a little high. I have been doing the ellipital and weights. I was never a big runner but I have plenty of friends that ran for a while into their pregnancy. It is all about how you feel... when you are not tired and sick ;-)

With my first I didn't have to modify anything until the 2nd trimester. This time I have already cut down the distance I am running and also my speed is considerably less. I found myself so out of breath so easily starting at about 5w. Now I think it's a little better and I'm trying to get back up to running 4 miles without stopping. That's a much shorter distance then before BFP.
