Kettle bell...

BeachMommy2B · April 2013

Hi everyone, I'm a wondering if there are any of you out there that do kettle bell work outs while pregnant?

My doctor says I'm fine to continue exercising (including weights) as long as I stay under 20lbs. But I wasn't sure about kettle bell since its a lot of swinging and mostly intense core workouts.

i work closely with a trainer, but he is a man and I would like input from others who've been or are pregnant .

Any thoughts and/or experiences would be great!!

I did crossfit until I was 40w4d pregnant and consistently did kettlebells swings with a 35 pound kb. My last preg workout was deadlifts at 135 pounds and burpees!

Listen to your body and watch for overheating and make sure you can keep talk.

Also keeping fit had allowed me to heal faster from a long labor and emergency C section AND At 4 weeks pp I'm only 7 lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight

I still workout with kettlebells a few times a week. Mostly swings, clean and press, and snatches. Just make sure your OB and your trainer know what you're doing.
