Walking/Trudging as often as I can! #ohgodhowmuchfurther
I've been saying DH and I are going to start walking again for the last month. Well, tax season is over, I don't have homework, and the weather is actually nice today, so maybe we'll go for a walk tonight. Or not.
I used to walk/work out 5 times week until last week...once I hit 34 weeks, I just became exhausted and now at 35 weeks and with the pain I've been experiencing (see daily symptoms thread) I need to rest and relax per the nurse's instructions. I'm still doing my housework and chores, but an actual fitness plan is long gone.
For flexibility I pick up toys/random crap multiple times a day. My cardio consists of chasing after a toddler and finally for weights I carry a 30# body around when DS refuses to walk or climb stairs. 7 days a week y'all! Don't give me your jealous side eye...I'm just committed to my fitness plan. \:D/
I chase/pick up my almost 10-month old all day, and I try to walk at least 3-4 times per week because I can actually sleep at night after walking!! The benefits of sleep outweigh the pains/groans during walking.
i consider any day i go to work a "workout day". The walk from Penn Station to Times Square leaves me feeling like im going to pee. bless you women who are still kicking ass without fear of peeing their pants.
I did end up going on the walk tonight! I told DH he wasn't allowed to have a brownie till we got back so he made sure that we went lol. But I definitely need to go more often! We only walked for 30 minutes but I REALLY needed to go to the bathroom when we got back (even though I did right before we left) and I was embarrassingly super out of breath. I know I'm pregnant so these things are to be expected, but I want to be in slightly better shape by the time I deliver!
I second the out of breath thing. I can't reposition myself on the couch without getting winded. I think everything hurts so bad I hold my breath when doing things. I do good to cook three times a day. I won't be exercising fo sho.
I'm still teaching spin classes twice a week but I wear Poise pads because I do pee my pants a little bit every class. I also require a nap after class to even function.
I've been keeping it up regularly, mixing up jogging/hiking/swimming/light weights, though I'm always questioning why I bother... it's not really that enjoyable any more and sadly hasn't helped me manage my weight (I've been steadily putting on a pound a weeks since I POAS).
Pretty sure if I had other kids or didn't have a desk job, I would have given up weeks ago.

I still work out 5 days a week- I can promise you it's why this pregnancy has been a breeze for me and I have a ton of energy. It's not always fun, but it's so worth it.

Hey, Xbox helps with hand / eye coordination
Swimming is the only thing that feels good. I walk At the park but my belly and pelvis start aching pretty fast and that blows!

I was getting walking in but then the allergies started and the southern heat became a little too much...
I love it! It forces me to get up & move. I've actually been feeling really good because of it.
Buuuut when I'm not doing that I'm binge watching Netflix. It's necessary because I'm elevating my feet
