Re: How much do you exercise?

  • I was a gogo dancer before so am use to working out so continued it...Now I am going to the gym 3, maybe 4 times a week and doing light cardio (elliptical or treadmill with incline/fast wallking for 30 minutes) and machines.  I want to do more but I tire easily.

  • I try to exercise 4 days a week and walk every day. I have cut waaay down on my work outs and now do about an hour each time with 40 minutes of moderate cardio and 20 of light weight lifting. I specifically stick to the elliptical, treadmill and bike and use very light weights with much repetition. Prenatal yoga is GREAT as well. It's fun to switch it up a bit!

  • Almost every day.  On days I go to the gym, I do 30-40 minutes of cardio.  I usually do the bike, elliptical, or walk hills on the treadmill.  I also lift weights- seated rows, lat pulldown, chest flys, tricep dips, and chest press. 

    On most days I also take my dog for a walk- usually 30-45 minutes.

  • I go to the gym about 2x a week and do 30-45 minutes of cardio. I really should do more, but, I have so many excuses :)

  • I used to run 5-6 days/week and cross train 3 days/week. I have basically cut most of that out, I workout around 3-4 times/week. I have been doing a lot of Water Aerobics, Yoga, Ballerobica, Zumba, etc. Once the weather cools off I will start walking daily, but until then I am stuck with classes and the gym. However somedays, like yesterday and today, I have ZERO motivationto even move!

  • I run 3 times a week (15-20 miles total).  Then I lift weights with a trainer twice a week. 

     

  • DH and I go for an evening walk every night after dinner for about an hour. 

    I haven't been to the gym in over a month.

  • Before pregnancy I was lifting weights (deadlift, bench, squat, pulldowns, rows, and shoulder press) three times a week and doing light cardio.  Fatigue hit me so hard during 1st tri that I couldn't lift and by the time I felt better my doc recommended against resuming lifting heavy weights.  :(

    So, I walk my dog daily.  It's better than nothing.

  • I usually walk 3 miles a day.

  • I generally go to the gym 4 days a week (usually consisting of cardio two of those days, walking and then an hour of power yoga on one, and a step class on the other) and I take prenatal yoga at a local studio on Saturdays. I may take a spin class this weekend, but I've been a little nervous to do so since I am so used to pushing myself so hard in there.

  • I'm a martial artist.

    With the exception of sparring and jumping, I still do everything I did before, just slightly modified and toned down.

    Lately, however, I've been training a lot less. I used to continue to train 4-5 days a week, but since a few weeks ago, I've been training once a week. Maybe twice.

    I'm just so tired again.

  • DH and I walk together almost every evening for at least 40 minutes. At least twice a week, we usually go for longer walks or hikes. I'd like to pick it up one LO is born and do P90x again and maybe take up jogging.

  • Sheesh everyone is so good on here!

    I listen to my body and sometimes make excuses for myself.  But recently, I purchased 3 prenatal workout dvds and use them every day and on days I don't do a dvd I go for a 30 minute walk.  The dvds are:

    * Prenatal Yoga (I love it - only 30 min. long and not hard but feels great)

    * Long and Lean (Pilates one - it kicks my butt but I do the full 50 min and I'm so sore the next day)

    * Summer Sanders (I'm trying this one for the first time today)

    Hope that helps.
