I am taking a prenatal swim class at the YMCA. I also walk on the treadmill and ride the bike. Sometimes I'll take my DD in the stroller and do laps on the track.
I also prefer to stay at home. I have a prenatal yoga DVD that I really like. The instructor was a trapeze artist for Cirque du Soleil, so she works on stregthening exercises as well as relaxing yoga stretches. It's also got a "Beginner" and "Advanced" workout, which I like. And if I don't necessarily feel up to yoga, I'll take the dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes DH comes with us, which makes it extra special.
I stare at the recumbent bike in my future nursery, dream of when i had the energy to use it and try to figure out how i'm going to get it into storage because we need to start setting up the nursery LOL
When I had my gym membership, I loved the elliptical. I power walk/jog, do various workout DVDs, try to swim when I can and plan to buy an elliptical asap.
Free weight and body weight exercises - today, I did deadlifts, shoulder presses, cable rows, bulgarian split squats, reverse lunges, and some ab work. I was doing this before I was pg and have continued at the point where I'm comfortable.
Treadmill walking - I wasn't running before, so I stick to walking at an incline
Recumbent bike - when I'm lazy, I can bike and read.
Yoga - taking a class, doing a bit on my own sometimes
I take aerobics classes - zumba or step. On other days, I use the elliptical machine or walk on the treadmill. I use the weight machines or resistance bands for strength training.
