Reccomend your 1st tri (light) workout!

I'm trying to focus on strengthening my core and pelvic floor muscles, because they never really recovered from DS1. Also, I suffer from extreme fatigue instead of morning sickness, so I'm trying to do something to increase my energy. I tried a ten-minute workout yesterday from YouTube, and it was fine, but I wondered if you ladies had and recommendations to throw at me - I'll try anything! Thanks!

    my current routine:

    an hour walk (moderate to brisk depending on my energy level) twice a week

    an hour swim (moderate to slow) once to twice a week

    an hour to 2 hours of yoga once a week

    plank for 1 min twice a day

    50 body weight squats a day

    100 calf raises a day

    I was very active before I got pg. I have a SCH and was on light to no activity for 3 weeks so my routine was really thrown off. I am still on light lifting restrictions so I am no longer allowed to weight train. If you really want to work on your core strength planks and squats will do it for you. And the nice thing is you can do both of these exercises until the day you give birth

    The absolute best thing for your pelvic floor (and it helps your butt, legs and core too) is squatting. Specifically deep squats. I love this article, explains the benefits and how to do them properly:

    since works been crazy lately, I've been way slack on working out. I have yoga and Pilates videos at home but just can't seem to get motivated. We usually go on 2 1 hour walks a week and I'd like 2 swim 2 days a week to but just been hard to find the time but we are going to the beach in a few weeks and the house has a pool so I can run in the pool while ds naps everyday which I'm very excited about. I'm also looking into some Pilates classes my mom takes twice a week.

    I ran before pg and I switched to walking to be cautious.  I did 4.5 miles today and felt freaking exhausted after.  must....get...sleep.  anyway - with both boys I've always swam building up to a mile while pregnant.  I love it and always feel so strong in delivery! GL!

    I do a modified version Jill Michael's 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30.  The workouts are only about 20 minutes long.
