What's keeping you active? What activities are feeling good right now?
What is keeping me active is that it has always been my routine to be active/workout so I am trying not to change it, but there is also motivation of not gaining an excessive amount of weight either. I am so fearful of that. I already have a body type that I have to workout AND eat right to keep weight off, and all the women in my family are somewhat overweight. I want to stay active (and eat right) so I will hopefully bounce back quicker after. I am feeling good about the fact that I have not really had to modify any of my workouts yet.. except ab stuff. I have diastasis recti already (I am assuming I had it before since I don't even have a true bump yet) and it is definitely getting worse as the weeks go by.
What modifications, if any, have you made to your activities?
None so far, besides the ab stuff mentioned above
What is your plan for the coming week for staying active?
I try my best to go to the gym about 4:15-4:30am before I go to work. If I don't, I usually go after work, but I HATE the 5:00pm gym crowd. I did just ok this past week, hoping to be a little better next week with getting up when my alarm goes off.
GTKY: What is your favorite workout, pregnant or not?
I love doing lower body workout (my legs are my money makers
How many weeks are you? 20w3d
What's keeping you active? What activities are feeling good right now? Working out is part of our lifestyle, so I've just kept my routine. I workout in the morning before work, and it's always been the best way to start my day.
I used to do HIIT runs twice a week, but my knee is making that impossible. I do arc trainer intervals on those days, or run/walk intervals as long as my knee will take me. Otherwise, I do my traditional upper and lower body lifts throughout the week following a 10-minute warmup. With volleyball season ending, I'll be doing swimming workouts after school twice a week with a couple of my coworkers, so it'll be a two-a-day scenario, but swimming feels so good that I don't think it'll feel too strenuous!
What modifications, if any, have you made to your activities? Running to arc has been the biggest transition. I have been modifying my core workouts for comfort, and my intervals are a bit slower!
What is your plan for the coming week for staying active? Tomorrow will be a rest day, Sunday I swim, Monday is elliptical or arc intervals, Tuesday is shoulders/tris, Wednesday is leg day, Thursday is back/chest/bis, Friday is elliptical or arc intervals, repeat.
GTKY: What is your favorite workout, pregnant or not? I LOVE leg day. I've always felt a lot better, stronger, etc. when I have good leg lifts throughout the week. My legs are generally stronger and more powerful than any other part of me, so it's a boost I like!

What's keeping you active? What activities are feeling good right now?
walking is keeping me active. I feel great not moving the car and walking pretty much everywhere I need to go.
What modifications, if any, have you made to your activities?
I stopped my usual activities (Zumba and heavy lifting) as per my doctor’s recommendations. So it’s just walking outside and gym for the elliptical or treadmill when the weather is bad.
What is your plan for the coming week for staying active?
I go for a 3 mile walk most days while the kids are at school, so I will continue that. Also, bring the kids to the park and all that fun stuff. Nothing too structured.
GTKY: What is your favorite workout, pregnant or not?
Zumba with a great instructor is hands down my favorite workout. If it’s a good class it doesn’t even feel like working out and is so much fun.
