Working out in the 2WW?

srkm · July 2011

Did you continue your workouts during treatments and the 2WW?

During my break cycles, I have gotten into a better workout routine and I would like to keep it up but I don't want it to affect my treatments and chances of getting my BFP.

I work our 3-5 times a week at a pretty high intensity on the elliptical, abs and weights. But like you, I was concerned about working out during treatments, the 2ww and now that I know I'm pregnant.

I'm still working out as frequently, but I'm doing lower intensity workouts. I walk on the treadmill, use smaller weights and stopped abs all together. My RE's instructions were to do low impact activities and keep lifting to less than 25lbs. I don't lift that much in weights, but Jacob is well over 30lbs, so there's not much I can do about that!

Good luck!

I totally know how you feel... And I think you have to do what you are comfortable with. I had gotten into a great workout routine before our transfer, but I personally couldn't workout during the 2ww. It was just one of those things I knew might cause me to blame myself if it didn't work. But that was me. So I would decide for yourself with your doctor's advice what you can do without any regret if things don't work. good luck!!!

I stopped going to the gym to do spinning classes and lift weights when I was in my 2ww - just to be safe. I took walks instead.

I was told not to work out at all during the 2ww and I made the decision to not work out until I get into the 2nd tri. To me, it is not worth the anxiety iworking out might cause me.
