What is your pregnancy workout?

NYGrlAtHeart · May 2011

I am trying hard to try and stay in some sort of shape this pregnancy!

I type a lot, does that count? Graduation is this Saturday. I'm hoping to start walking every evening.

I've been going to a step aerobics class once a week (except when I'm too exhausted to go . I keep it low intensity and try not to get my heart rate too high. Now that it's nice(er) out, we will do lots of walking in the evenings.

I'd like to try Prenatal yoga, but it's not overly common in my area, and the only class I've found runs on Saturdays, which is not the best timing. I also am thinking about starting some sort of aquatic workout.

I go for a 30 minute run weekday mornings, 1 hour on the weekends. Depending on when I get home from work I go to the gym with DH or do a prenatal pilates video.

I do curves 5x a week. Not a heavy workout by any means but nice and cool and not a sweaty gym.

Ugh... I hate to admit it but I did pretty well for the 1st 6 weeks of my pregnancy. After that I was just too exhausted. Now I am walking for 35-45 minutes a night. It isn't much but I guess better than nothing. Zumba is starting in my area but I am afraid I probably shouldn't start something new.

Elliptical and several arm and thigh machines at the gym, pregnancy fitness DVD, walking, and hopefully I will start swimming in the next couple weeks when they take the cover off the pool at my gym. It has a temporary building they put up around it over the winter and the chlorine smell was killing me.

Ha! I am pretty sure using your brain consumes a lot of calories, at least that is what I tell myself when I am trying to remember why I though it was a good idea to pursue a master's in environmental science. I graduate on Saturday too! So exciting!

I know what you mean! Congratulations on your MS! Big Smile

I do either walking for 30min or an ondemand video like Walk and Sculpt by Chris Freytag, it combines weights and walking routines in one or a 20min total body sculpt. I try to workout at least 5x's a week and nothing i do is really strenuous. I don't use over 5lbs. But man do lunges get my heart rate up fast!! If i feel too out of breath i just take a walk around to cool down before getting back into it.

I swim 3-4 days a week for a half hour +. It's a nice, easy-going workout, plus it was fun looking for a new suit!

asboomer22 · May 2011

I run six miles 3-5 times per week (depending on what race I'm training for), a longer run on the weekends usually 8+, I do TRX on Wednesdays plus cross training, and then cross train on the other days - usually the step mill. Now that my half marathon is over, I may drop a day of running and add back some weight lifting. I decrease weight lifting before a long race.

jarochon2 · May 2011

I am running 3-4 times per week and walking 3-4 days per week. Training for a half-marathon. I also swim, do a spin class or do the elliptical on my non-running days.

happylady07 · May 2011

I walk my dogs in the morning, about 30-45 minutes, and try to get in at least 10 miles a week with them. I initially tried to keep up my gym routine of about 30 minutes of cardio and 20-30 minutes of circuit training (alternating between upper body and lower body every day), about 5 times a week. Lately, I'm still walking my dogs, but only been getting to the gym 2-3 times a week if I'm lucky!

karinothing · May 2011

I do 30-40 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week. Every other day I do weights and other strengthening exercises and on Sundays I do pre-natal yoga.

KindraMc · May 2011

ZUMBA!!!! and lifting light weights to keep up my muscle tone and short runs and elliptical. I have been eating A LOT therefore I have been trying to work out as much as possible to balance it all out!

nabum · May 2011

I still run a few times a week, take turbo kickboxing a few times a week, walk, take yoga, and lift. Basically the same as before, only a little lower intensity.

soon2bjmn · May 2011

I run 2x a week, insanity 1x a week, yoga 2-3x a week and some core performance. I also walk lots with the doggies and husband.

You should try the Pregnancy Fit Kit - that's what I use. It's a prenatal / postpartum exercise program that comes complete with all the necessary (and comfortable) workout accessories. My friend recommended it to me and it is awesome! Their website is https://www.PregnancyFitKit.com - Good luck! Smile
