Hi Ladies! Judging by the weekly symptoms thread, I'm sure staying active is something we're all struggling with right now... let's try to keep each other motivated to continue moving in whatever way works for us!
How did you do with this week's activity goals?
What are your goals for the coming week?
What is one piece of gear that has helped you stay active this pregnancy (a support belt, heart rate monitor, new shoes, etc.)?

I got in 2 days so far. I’ll probably get something else in on the weekend. I’m trying to keep it at 3.

To just keep trucking along lol.

Actually it was different movement. My hip has been killing me, so I did my usual walk/run followed by yoga the next day. And I feel fine today! I will say my most useful gear though has been the heart monitor on my Apple Watch. But I’ve had that for some time.
I struggled to motivate at the end of last week and beginning of this week, and finally got myself back in the swing of things on Tuesday. I noticed how much better I actually feel (less achiness in my pelvis and significantly improved sleep) on the days I do something as compared to the days I took off, so that is good motivation to at least go for a long walk when I feel like doing nothing. Goal for next week is to run (or run/walk) 3 days, bike 1, swim 1, and walk on the other days.
I started using a support belt for running a couple weeks ago and it's been the biggest game changer for me so far! I was skeptical (and hate making maternity-specific purchases this late in the game), but I'm glad I pulled the trigger.
