Physical health check-in 12/8


This thread is for those who are trying to maintain physical activity throughout pregnancy. It can be walking around the block, hitting the gym, training for a marathon, and everything in between. 

There is no physical activity too small during pregnancy. 



How did this week go for you? How are you feeling about your exercise? Any funny story about your growing belly (and maybe other parts) affecting your routine? 

Re: Physical health check-in 12/8

  • This week went well. I couldn't do my workout last night so I forced myself to go tonight. It was kind of nice because it was more dead being a Friday night. I almost dud a full hour which is the first time since my bfp.
    I'm getting frustrated with my heart rate going so high so quickly. The trainer tonight hasn't seen me in weeks an even commented on how fast it goes up. I'm not concerned about it, but when it gets too high, I just slow down and take extra breaths to get it down for my own comfort. 
    I did decide last weekend that I need new shirts. My bump is out of control and my current one definitely make me look like I'm smuggling something across the border.

  • I went 3x this week. I missed on Tuesday because of my u/s so I’m going this afternoon. 

    I take a dance fitness class on TTH that involves a lot of sexy moves and I caught myself doing a hip thrust in the mirror the other day but it was SO PITIFUL! I have no defined hips anymore so it just likes me swinging my belly around lol.
  • How did this week go for you? Hahahahahaha. Bronchitis-1 Me-0 

    How are you feeling about your exercise? Not great, but this week, I know taking care of my lungs, resting, and avoiding our bad air quality from the fires are more important. My OB was pretty clear about that. 

    Any funny story about your growing belly (and maybe other parts) affecting your routine? I just don’t know my own size at this point. I bump into people/things all the time. 
  • How did this week go for you?
    still on my running streak!  I have been doing a lot of 1 milers bc I’m always tired. Day 365 is Monday!! (Guess that’s tomorrow)
     How are you feeling about your exercise?
    So hard to go but feel so much better when I do it.

    I huff and puff so much!  I feel like the big bad wolf anytime I run, climb stairs, walk briskly

  • @mileswithmyles definitely take a break until your body is up for it!

    @roomsu, DH has asked multiple times why I keep getting winded in the stairs. Apparently since I work out I'm not allowed to be out if breath after hauling a growing person up a flight. 
  • MissusTexas I take a dance class as well with a ton of hip moves.....I stand very far from any mirrors....very
    very far.


  • Has anyone here heard of Massy Arias, the fitness professional? She has workout plans called MA30day and she's introduced a new one for winter. It comes with a meal plan and workout routine for 30 days. I started last week and am happy to say that I stuck to the program. I did have to modify a few of the workouts because they either required positions that were uncomfortable or heavier weights than I think I can handle at the moment.
