Re: Fit Mom Check-In 2.15
Any changes yet? nope, actually feel like I'm building endurance, which is great!
GTKY: (BTDT Moms) Did you workout with your first pregnancy (or subsequent), and do you feel like it helped you with labor and recovery? I ran up to the day before I was induced last pregnancy. I think it helped me with delivery in that I pushed for 1.5 hours and didn't immediately pass out. Honestly maybe I wasn't pushing hard enough (she was a bit stuck), but I didn't feel over worked? I feel like recovery was pretty easy and when I started running again it wasn't horrible. Can I credit it to an active pregnancy? I don't know.
GTKY: (Everyone!) What health/fitness related goal have you completed that you are most proud of?
DH and I ran a 15k last year. It was a big deal to me! Also, running through my last pregnancy.
Any changes yet? Trying not to give in to the extreme exhaustion. Getting out of bed so early to workout is proving to be quite a task though...
GTKY: (BTDT Moms) Did you workout with your first pregnancy (or subsequent), and do you feel like it helped you with labor and recovery? Yes, I ran the entire pregnancy and did HIIT bootcamps. I'm really glad I did b/c I do feel like it made recovery pretty easy. I pushed her out in less than 30 minutes (after 17 hours in labor though) and was cleared to workout a little bit earlier than 6 weeks so I think it all helped.
GTKY: (Everyone!) What health/fitness related goal have you completed that you are most proud of? I guess running the NYC marathon. I've done a few, but that one was by far the hardest. It was also the first marathon I completed post DD.
Any changes yet? Per my OB I'm not doing any exercises on my back. My strength has decreased a lot, I'm not even close to being as strong as I was pre pregnancy! Before I could do 10 chin ups unassisted, now I can do 3. Does hormones mess with strength? It's totally fine though, I'm ok with being weaker just curious! I'm not comfortable with lifting super heavy now anyway.
GTKY: (Everyone!) What health/fitness related goal have you completed that you are most proud of?
i competed in a powerlifting competition for fun and set the state record for my bench press, and I deadlifted 315 pounds.
Any changes yet? I can definitely tell I'm a little weaker. My coach is encouraging me to take more breaks so I'm working on that.

GTKY: (Everyone!) What health/fitness related goal have you completed that you are most proud of? Definitely running a marathon. Though I'm athletic, I'm definitely not the natural runner type. I still like half marathons much better because the recovery is much shorter, but I've ran 2 marathons and I'm so proud of that!
