Hey ladies just wanted to check in with everybody who's trying to keep up with their workout!

How many days a week are you working out? What kind of activities are you doing?how do you feel afterwards!

Let's keep moving!!

My workout schedule is down to 3- 4 days a week... mostly due to crazy work deadlines and late nights. Running makes me have to pee SO BAD, so I'm sticking with eliptical, walking, and a few classes. I ALWAYS feel better after a workout...even if it's just a walk...I know my body thanks me.

I do some sort of activity about 5-6 days a week. Yoga 2-3 times, walk almost daily and other days it's the gym(elliptical, weights etc) once I started feeling better and working out again I couldn't believe how amazing I felt. I have tons of energy after and all the stretching from yoga works out my kinks and weird muscle pains. Highly recommend prenatal yoga to those who haven't tried. Hoping to stay active until the very end like I did last time!

I'm down to indoor cycling 1 day a week but I'm so busy that its about all I can fit in. I'm far from sedentary during the week though. 3 part time jobs, 2 kids, and school part time keeps me active. I've only gained 2.5lbs in 15 weeks.

Misheldon · February 2015

Prenatal swim on Mondays (45 mins) and elliptical at the gym Wednesdays and Saturdays for an hour each day

JaneJane7 · February 2015

I do weights/calisthenics on Monday, run 4 miles on Tuesday, weights/calisthenics on Wednesday, run 6 miles on Thursday, off on Friday, run 9 miles on Saturday, and run 10 miles on Sunday. I'm 18.5 weeks, gained 3 pounds. I run slower these days, but put in the same amount of time.

k3taeko · February 2015

I used to workout regularly before the pregnancy, 6 days a week and I use free weights with my husband. Since becoming pregnant, I just started back up this past week. I was only able to go once but plan to work my way back up to at least 5 days a week.

mrspark812 · February 2015

Either DD or I have been so sick for the last month I haven't been able to go to the gym. Its been so frustrating. I was going to yoga once a week and doing lots of walking. I've had some super intense round ligament pain that has prevented me from.dping much else. Once the weather gets warmer I plan on spending all my time in the pool especially because DD can float along with me as I swim.

maggs2015 · February 2015

Hi there--

I head to a yoga class 1-2 times a week and play league tennis twice a week. Plan to keep exercising until the end if I can! It only helps me feel more balanced!

p_and_a · February 2015

I go on a 10+ mile bike ride on the weekends. It use to be 30+ before my BFP, but I decided to dial it back a bit. During the week days I use the stairs everywhere I can: at work, in the parking structure, etc. I also go for a walk on my lunch break. I don't quite hit 10,000 steps each day, but I usually average around 7,000 or so.

I'm hoping to phase back in "Just Dance" after DH and I move. Such a fun way to get your heart rate up!

trose2221 · February 2015

Working out 6 days a week. Running 3-4 times with lifting weights. And spinning class 2 times a week. Miles around 18 miles a week.

wilhelmkate · February 2015

Run 4 days a week. Yoga 1 day. Free weights 1 day.

shannonrashall · February 2015

Yoga free weights and light cardio. OB said every other day, for at least 30 min, heart rate needs to stay underr 150. Done. Feeling great compared to my firat pregnancy-i didnt do anything with him. Total game changer.

crystaldmc2 · February 2015

I'm walking about twice a week

audi681 · February 2015

I bought the Lindsey Brin DVDs and do one section a day. It's enough for me!

mikromorof · February 2015

I am walking 3 to 4 times a week (about 45 minutes each time). And I just started Lindsey Brin's videos too. Not super difficult, but still gets my blood pumping and forces me to do some weights (which I've always hated). Hoping to get back in the pool when the weather is nicer.

theletlers · February 2015

Kudos to all you ladies!!! In the last few weeks I have been trying to take my dogs for about a 10-15 minute walk two or three times a week. Between the morning sickness (yes I still suffer at 20 weeks...) and the sciatica excercising has not been easy. I actually sat down crying one day around 6 weeks when I tried to go for a run and got to the end of the street just to turn around. My hubby was very nice about it though. Just hard when I have completed two full marathons as well as multiple half marathons and can barely go for a mile walk these days. I'm hoping that things will just get better. If not I guess running will just have to wait until baby can come along in the stroller! Good luck to all of you though! Keep going!!!

Hello Ladies,

I was very active before my pregnancy and after consulting with my doctor I was advised to continue with my workouts. I work out 5-6 days a week, I do cardio (treadmill or elliptical 45 mins) 5 days a week and try to incorporate some weight training at least 3 of those days. Very important to listen to your body, don't push past your body limits. As long as you are not over exerting yourself working out is a great stress reliever and will help us carry on a healthier pregnancy. Kuddos to all the mommies out there trying to keep up with their workouts.

I'm still practicing vinyasa and hatha yoga 4 or 5 times/week. All my instructors know I am pregnant and guide me as to what I can and cannot continue doing now that I am pregnant. I definitely find myself getting tired much quicker or unable to hold certain poses for as long. Balancing has been ok so far but I'm sure once my belly starts getting bigger, it'll be more of a challenge :-). I listen to my body and take a child's pose when needed, and make sure to stay hydrated. Good luck mamas!

kmode13 · February 2015

This is great to hear about all of the active moms..perfect inspiration for those "do I really have to work out?" days!

Overall I try to keep with 5-6 days of exercise a week, but that depends on the week for sure! I've been keeping up with Les Mills Body Pump classes at the gym I attend 2-3 times a week, with another 2-3 days running or doing a mix of running and some body weight or plyometric exercises and a hike/jog/bike ride with DH on the weekend. Been feeling pretty good overall, but making sure I'm scaling down the intensity (especially on running and plyo work) so that I'm not getting too winded/avoiding heart rate spikes. I'm not too big yet, so I haven't had too much discomfort or modifying to deal with. My DH did say when I do squats, my belly "bumps out"..haha, he gets really excited seeing it! At work, I'll try to walk for 15-20 min at lunch just to keep moving around (desk job...love the job but some days I'm glued to that seat!!!).

Best of luck to each of you! Hoping for active pregnancies for us all!

claudiacorrea129 · February 2015

I used to work out 3-4 times a week for an hour and a half and I used to love it. I started spotting at 18 weeks and my doctor advised me to stop working out. I miss it so much, but I'd rather have my baby safe. I definitely recommend moms to be to continue their workout routine unles of course their doctor advises them otherwise. I'm 5 months now and definitely plan on returning to my workout plan after my little one is here. Best of luck to you.

Stephb0488 · February 2015

3 to 4 days a week normally do zumba,hip-hop and very light weights. So far I can get myself to the gym I feel great afterwards but getting there is the battle for me.

gendron1121 · February 2015

I do Crossfit 4 to 5 days a week. Feeling great. Almost 20 weeks so some things are tricky, but for the most part can still do the workouts! Keep up the great work Mamas

knkmomof2 · February 2015

Yay love this post! I get into the gym 4-5 days a week. I have been doing cardio (elliptical, arc trainer, stairmaster, bike, inclined walk on treadmill) pretty much every day in the gym & some sort of weight lifting at least two or three of those days. I love Tone It Up workouts so I try to follow along with their printable workouts/videos/workout schedule.

BKnox12 · February 2015

I'm back on 4-5x a week, though after the first trimester exhaustion! My workouts are NOT what they used to be, but amazingly satisfying still...even when my body stops me at 30 min.

Breraz21 · February 2015

Spinning, TRX, free weights, and kettle bell 3-4x a week.

runnergirl29 · February 2015

3 to 4 days a week.. weight lifting, squats, push ups, and walking once a week 3 miles.
Was running 7 miles a day 5 to 6 days a week racking in 130+ miles a month pre pregnancy along with my weight lifting. Had to cut that in half and then a month ago stopped running altogether because of uncomfortable pressure.

bookworm7495 · February 2015

I was kickboxing, but I just don't feel comfortable doing it while pregnant. I didn't workout for most of the 1st trimester due to extreme exhaustion, but I've gotten back in a routine since the 2nd trimester. I'm using the elliptical 3x a week, stretching (back pain), and using free weights. I feel great after working out!

ConlinToGillmore9909 · February 2015

Well I was/am training for a half marathon in March. Was running 4 times a week and doing 2 days of cross training. Then morning sickness kicked in and lack of energy took over and I had zero motivation to do anything! My training suffered tremendously so this half marathon will most likely be half walk half run. Just for fun and not overdoing it at all since I didn't get to train as well as I should have. Getting my energy back so I have been running again, but man do I have to pee SO bad every 20 minutes. Was pumped for my first 10 mile run of training and only made 6 miles. Had to turn around and use the restroom (made it 1.5 miles and had to turn back around) then felt SO much better and ran 3 miles took a little fast walk break went to start again and my knee gave out. In my nature to try and push through it I just stopped and said "that's enough for today"... I gave my knee a rest for a week and took the dogs for a 3 mile walk last night with the hubby and will try running again tonight or tomorrow

other than that I lift free weights and do different workouts at home. Energy is still lacking some days more than others though so I listen very well to my body. I'm just stoked to cross that finish line next month 5 months pregnant and on my 25th birthday!

keep it up mommas! You're all doing great!!!
