Since there's some interest in restoring what we used to know as normality to the board, how is everyone doing with their exercise?
I'm still maintaining my 5-6 (usually 5) days a week. I go to the gym before work and either take a class, hit the treadmill, lift weights or do yoga. I modify where I need to, and I've definitely slowed down some, but I'm still plugging along at my pre-pregnancy routine. I'm tickled I can still bend down and touch the floor, or my toes while sitting, because I can tell that's going to get iffy at some point. I think that's really helped me keep my energy levels some semblance of "up" and just helping me continue to feel good!
So let's here it, who's still getting their fitness in? Do you need help or motiviation, maybe we can give you some ideas! Even just getting out there and taking a 20 minute stroll can do wonders for you, mentally and physically (as long as your doctor is ok with physical activity!)

That really sucks about not having a pool. I love swimming too. Bonus, the Y also offers 'shrimp dip' classes for parent and kids as young as 6m. Ewok is going swimming next winter!
finchfeeder80 My husband I were both doing the C25K before I got pregnant and that was a really good way to start jogging... Of course it is so hot down here that I did half of it at the gym on the treadmill... I will start that up again post pregnancy as well...
I have to black Labs so they help me get motivated to at least take short walks They can be very annoying if they don't get their outside time.
I have struggled finding cute maternity gym clothes. Annoying!
Hope I can keep this up! I'm having twins so it's getting heavier and harder to walk with this weight on the front!
Go girls!!
I'm going 2-4 times a week, doing moderate cardio for 20-30 minutes then usually playing on the machines for 15-20 minutes.
It's not much, but I'm trying. It doesn't feel great while in working out, but I usually feel really good afterwards.
