Re: Crossfit Mamas

  • @AEG84 I wouldn't sweat not being able to go to the gym. I'm going into week 11 and I haven't been able to go for a couple weeks because of the nausea. The last time I went, I couldn't finish the WOD: heavy OH squats, heavy KB swings, and pull-ups. I got dizzy after my second round of swings and couldn't catch my breath. I called it quits for the day, my coach thought I was a beast and finished early, man was he wrong. I ended up telling him that I was preggers, so he'd take it easy on me (he's hardcore and competing at the Eastern Regional NPGL comp tonight in CA). I haven't been able to get myself to the gym since, and I hate it. Hopefully I hit that "turning-point" soon.
  • Loading the player...
  • Anyone having to modify movements yet? The only think I'm slightly modifying is my snatch at this point to make a lower contact point in my hip crease rather than right on my abdomen. So far everything else is still doable though!
  • I haven't had to modify movements yet, but I have had to scale way back on cardio. I started using a heart rate monitor and realized that I hit 140 bpm wayyy before I thought I would. I feel like such a slacker, but I know it's important not to overwork myself.
  • I stopped doing burpees now, cause I'm showing and don't feel comfortable throwing myself on the ground, so I do push-up with the parallettes instead. My belly is starting to be in the way too when I do cleans, snatches, ... I'm still getting out of breath super fast and have to take it a little easier.

  • Oh yes - I initially slowed my burpees down a lot. They haven't been in a recent WOD, but I'll definitely skip them the next time. 
  • I finally got back to the gym this week after almost two months of nothing (too sick). I don't have to modify anything yet, but I'm not going for time anymore - just focusing on my form and breathing. It feels so good to sweat!
  • Just ordered this shirt, since I'm finally starting to show. 
  • I got that one to make my announcement. I stupidly ordered a small, so I don't think I'll be able to wear it until the end.

  • I've stopped doing burpees. The idea of flinging myself to the ground on top of my baby frightens me. Everything else I've kept the same just scaled back on the weights a little and no handstand push-ups.
  • My doctor made me quit CF until after the baby is born because I'm high risk : ( 

    I miss it SO MUCH
  • @SherlockedMom I'm really sorry your doctor made you stop CF. I would miss it a lot too. There is probably some things you can do at home.

  • So sorry, @SherlockedMom! I won't be able to continue with CF after the baby is born, and I know I am going to miss it tons.
