Re: workout check in 5-22
felt good last week, worked out four times. i plan to workout five times this week with one being yoga. @Brambles23 it was snatch day today! 5x4. i almost died, you would have loved it lol.
2. anyone making any modifications yet?
i am not doing any twisting movements anymore and have cut some ab exercises. i dont want to do anything that compresses (sit-ups, v-ups, etc.) which translates to a lot of planking.
3. workout gear tips: what have you found that helps now that our bumps are getting bigger (bonus if we dont have to break the bank): this is a tip that i learned during my first pregnancy. i love moving comfort sports bras. they hold the girls down and are adjustable. the straps are actually velcro which helps for breastfeeding too.
1. what are your plans for working out this week? how did you feel last week? Trying to get in my 3 days of strength training and make it in on Saturday for the group WOD. I felt alright last week, although going three days in a row really did tire me out by Thursday.
2. anyone making any modifications yet? I've had to take a much wider stance when I'm back squatting to make room for the preggo belly. I've stopped doing anything that requires bending or twisting (no sit ups, V-ups, etc). I've been doing knees to chest (or as high as I can) while hanging from the pull-up bar, but I might try planks next time.
3. workout gear tips: what have you found that helps now that our bumps are getting bigger (bonus if we dont have to break the bank): I purchased these shorts last week from Amazon and they are super comfy. I'm going to order another pair or two, and they're fairly inexpensive. They stayed in place for lifting and didn't roll up. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YUC0PDG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
What are your plans for working out this week? How did you feel last week?
-->I don't think I posted last week (sorry I honestly don't post all that much on here) but I feel like I have some energy back! I didn't feel like I wanted to curl up and go to bed while I was working out last week so that's a win! Unfortunately I'm still only getting 1 (sometimes 2) days of strength training in, and have been doing mainly walking. We need to get a closer gym. That is part of the problem. But when I do my walks, there is this hill that I go up and do push-ups, dips, side plank, and split leg lunges on. I don't really mix it up and just do those but at least my muscles are getting a little something!!
Modifications?
-->aside from no sit ups and stuff, not really. I know I need more variety for my
ab exercises but I've been mainly sticking with side plank and other side hip movement exercises.
Workout gear tips?
-->my bump isn't too big yet so I dunno!

Felt really good last week and made it in 7/7 days, including a spin class.
This week with traveling this weekend will maybe be 3 days.
2. anyone making any modifications yet?
Added a stronger band to assist on pull ups. Burpees using the dip parallels bar.
So many planks.
3. workout gear tips: what have you found that helps now that our bumps are getting bigger (bonus if we dont have to break the bank):
Gapfit! So far, I've also been able to wear the high waisted Victoria Secret pants I had pre pregnancy. I like the extra mid section support but I'm sure in a couple weeks I'll grow out of being able to wear them.
If Im too lazy to get these out, I just do a half burpee without going to the ground.
1. what are your plans for working out this week? how did you feel last week?
I don't know that I have specific plans. But I ran 3 miles yesterday and 10 minute yoga video and did 3 again today with some weight lifting. Hoping to do weights once more this week and a bit of a longer run on Saturday.
I didn't get too much working out in last week. But I'm starting to feel uncomfortable when I run.
2. anyone making any modifications yet?
Just taking it easy and trying not to be out of breath.
3. workout gear tips: what have you found that helps now that our bumps are getting bigger (bonus if we dont have to break the bank):
I've been using a medela running belt since may week 13 or 14?? I splurged on a fit splint belt recently in hopes that it will help. It just came in the mail today.
Since I'm HR I need to be careful and it is so much more important to stay on task.
1. what are your plans for working out this week? how did you feel last week?
I work out 5 or 6 days a week. Light cardio (Not running but those elliptical/ski style machines and weights ... everything but abs. I feel so much better and love the me time. Even if that means I have to get up at 430
2. anyone making any modifications yet?
I stay away from anything ab related
3. workout gear tips: what have you found that helps now that our bumps are getting bigger (bonus if we dont have to break the bank): WAL-MART !! they have these week out tanks that have roushing on the sides. So comfortable. I just ordered one size up. Thet are like 7 . I got some great sports bras from target for 15... a total victory. Maternity work out pants are harder to find lol
