What kind of exercising do you do??

Does anyone do pilates or yoga? How do they work out for you??

Re: What kind of exercising do you do??

  • I do prenatal yoga and walking. Works out fine.. the stretching feels nice after a long day sitting at a desk.

  • Loading the player...
  • i did wii yoga...but otherwise, its too slow for me (if I do it watching a video). Id rather be outside!
  • Walking almost every day and prenatal yoga twice a week.
  • I do about three minutes of pregnant pilates on dvd then call the lady a hitler b!tch, turn it off and eat a cheese stick. Its working out well
  • I started out doing the Gabriel Reece prenatal workout DVD but I haven't done it in a while. I just try to walk and chasing around my 2 yr old is great exercise too! :).?
  • every morning, i exercise my chest muscles by heaving over the sink (at 18 weeks,  yeah, it's going on)

    at around 2 in the afternoon i practice rectal contractions by trying to poop out a small tiny pooplette that feels like a mid-sized mammal.

    in the evening, i practice meditation to alleviate the throbbing pain in my head

    at bedtime, i do sprints to the toilet to pee (about 4 an hour) and then continue my chest exercises by coughing up lovely sinuses/post nasal drip phlegm.

    it's a routine I'm proud to say is very personalized and strategic to building good awake patterns during the night.

    TOO FUNNY!

  • I highly recommend prenatal yoga it is THE BEST.  I also walk at least two miles a day and/or bike ride 5 miles.

    This...2-4 times a day

  • I do both and they are truly amazing. I go to prenatal yoga weekly at the Y and I also bought a DVD that is said to be great for labor. I am hoping to get DH to try it with me so he can learn the techniques. I'll keep you posted on that one. ;) I also have a prenatal pilates DVD that is fabulous. It consist of five 10 minues segements that focus on different parts of the body. I try to do at least 10 min every day. Both activites really help by focusing on breathing, stretching, and relaxing. :)

  • I am doing cardio/weights 5x per week, and yoga 3x. 

    I am still doing my regular yoga classes, but will probably switch to PN yoga eventually.
