  My understanding is that you aren't supposed to start anything new when you are pregnant, so check with your OB first. I exercise a lot (and have for awhile). I have cut out a lot of the bouncy, impact workouts and stuck mostly to barre and yoga. Partially because I feel sick really easily if I move around too much, too fast.

  
  

  I do spin from time to time- I used to do it every week, but I've cut back. Again, I get queasy really easily. Hopefully my 2nd tri will be nicer to me and I will be able to pick up the pace. But in the meantime, I am doing what I can!

  Once you check with your OB... My best recommendation would be to search for prenatal yoga workouts on YouTube

  Your OB will likely recommend some stretches and exercises for different stages of pregnancy to help with flexibility and back/core strength. That said, you could also talk to them about "soft" exercises like yoga or walking/jogging. My clinic offers aquatic exercise classes and PT/Massage Therapy for their expectant moms.

  I was very active before this pregnancy and was running, doing yoga and bootcamp. I had a couple of losses and so I really toned down my activity level after ovulation and then when i got a positive test i continued to keep low activiy levels. I had been walking and doing light weights until nausea kicked in. My dr should give me the ok to do a little more after my 12 week apt. She said walking would be best and that I could do yoga and light exercise. I have 2 dvd's waiting 1 prenatal yoga and 1 prenatal barre. I think if your dr ok's it you could ease back in with walking and yoga!
