Have we done an exercise check in? If not, let's go!

Is everyone still exercising? What have you been doing?

I log my workouts on the daily mily and livestrong. Daily Mile sent me my report for last week, I have to AW myself- some of you may think this is not a lot, or maybe you do- I don't know how to gauge it really, but considering at 25 weeks I'm still able to exercise 4 days a week, I am happy.

Last week I logged just about 13.5 miles on the elliptical (although 1.5 miles was walking) and in addition to that 2, 30 minute strength training sessions.

Over the past 4 weeks though, i've logged about 35 miles- again on the elliptical (only probably 3-5 were walking) and at least 1-2 strength training sessions each week.

So this week my week looks like this:

Today- I only had time to 35 minutes of cardio

Wednesday- hopefully will get to do same amount of cardio + strength training- it may end up being an off day though due to after work plans potentially.

Thursday- 45-60 min of cardio (or Wednesday plans)

Friday- either Thursday or Wednesday plans

Saturday- it's H's birthday. If I can't go tomorrow, I will go Saturday & do Wed routine.

How are you guys doing? What are your plans?

    I'm continuing to do water fitness classes for an hour three times a week.  I love it - I feel like I get a good workout but I'm not putting any undue stress on my body!

    Convinced DH to cut a nice walking/nature trail around our property for my birthday last Saturday. We have 10 acres of beautiful tall pine forest but have only been there a year and a half and I've always wanted a trail. It was time!

    Together, with lots of hard work, we made a nice wide trail that takes about 20 minutes to go all the way around. We've walked it every evening since :)

    I've been doing the Bar Method 45 minute workout 3 days a week, a half hour on a stationary bike 3 days a week, and walking as much as I can, whenever I can. I also stretch about 5-6 times a day.

    This sounds wonderful. I may look into doing something like this.

    As for me, I've totally slacked recently. I had an amnio 11 days ago, so was taking it easy after that, but I'm pretty sure I can start back now and am just using that as an excuse.

    Yesterday I worked out, but had to stop halfway through. Today I'm going to do this:

    3 rounds
    20 wall ball #12-14
    20 one-armed kettlebell swings 12kg
    20 push ups
    20 pull ups

    I walk the dog. That's my exercise. I am pretty slow to gain weight, (I know working out has strength benefits too) so I don't really feel the need to push myself to do it. I didn't work out before really, so I don't think it's good for me to start up a work out plan in the middle of my pregnancy.

    I swam 2,500 meters on Sunday.  Yesterday I walked 3 miles and went to pilates class.  Today I am just walking 3 miles (it is my off day!).

    I am starting deep water aerobics on Saturday.  I am excited!  The DH thinks I am going to be the youngest person in the class. :)  I am hopeful that since it is in deep water it will be more challenging than a normal class.

    20 minutes on elliptical and 10 minutes walking on treadmill at the gym yesterday.  

    Same will happen tonight after being up and walking around at work for four to five hours.

    I try to walk my dog 2 miles most days.  But that's it, I've totally slacked off.

    I used to be very active before getting KU, but after a totally lazy and sick first tri, I've been trying to eat healthy and exercise for the past few weeks..hoping to keep it going until L & D. Typical workout: 20 minutes on the eliptical, 20 minutes of weights/squats/floorwork depending on the day, and then 20 minutes of either walking or the exercise bike. I am feeling so good these days about exercising..just hope I didn't do too much damage in the first tri when all I did was sit on my butt and eat junk food!

    That's when I gained the most weight honestly. I felt sick when I didn't eat. Cheese and bread were my friends. I only worked out maybe 2-3 days a week during certain weeks of the first tri. Not until I hit about 14/15 weeks was I consistently back to exercising.

    I'm sure you'll be fine!

    Keep up the good work, ladies!!

    Wow this daily/weekly tracker thing you have going sounds really thorough!

    I don't know mileage per week or anything like that, but each day (minus one - two rest days) I do 40-50 min on the elliptical and strength training.  Flipping days from upper body to lower body. 

    I was going to prenatal yoga, but my monthly membership ran out and it's only available 2x a week which wasn't worth the $$. I'd like to buy a DVD to maintain it, but there are so many so we'll see what pans out!

    Sounds like everyone's getting some activity throughout the day!  Awesome!

    I'm 24 weeks and still working out a minimum of 4-5 days/week. I take a Combat class Sun/Mon/Thurs and lift weights on Tues/Wed. Exercise is my stress relief and makes me feel good..esp when I want to indulge a bit on sweets :o)
