Re: Fitness Friday Jan 21
What are your fitness goals for this week/month/pregnancy? For pregnancy, trying to keep moving. I try to move my body for 30 minutes, 5-6 days a week.
Did you get any workouts in this week? What type, and how did you feel? I am absolutely exhausted this week and it's been a real struggle. I got 2 rides, an upper and a lower body resistance training day, and a full rest day. I'll try to get one more workout TBD and a yoga/stretch in this weekend. My win for the week was doing by 200th Peloton ride!
As many in this group approach the end of first trimester, what modifications are you making or planning on making? I found a few exercises that required laying on my belly uncomfortable for the first time this week, and I'm thinking it will be time to switch from my normal workouts to something more pregnancy-specific soon. Not sure exactly what that will be yet, but I'll look around.
Did you get any workouts in this week? What type, and how did you feel? Only one 30-minute walk. It felt good, but going uphill made me realize how out of shape I am.
As many in this group approach the end of first trimester, what modifications are you making or planning on making? I plan on getting back into a regular fitness routine. Even if it's walking a few times a week, and pilates 2 times, that is good for me. But I do want to make it a priority as it can be so beneficial throughout pregnancy and after.
What are your fitness goals for this week/month/pregnancy? Just to keep moving and build cardio strength, which I hope will help during delivery. I'd also like to keep my weight gain within healthy limits.
Did you get any workouts in this week? What type, and how did you feel? Yes, I finally got back on my bike this week! I'd been tired and nauseous and didn't work out for a month 😳 But I'm feeling really good now and got three rides in this week.
As many in this group approach the end of first trimester, what modifications are you making or planning on making? I haven't felt the need to modify anything yet, but I am thinking about looking into prenatal strength routines.
To stay active while traveling. Likely mostly walking.
Did you get any workouts in this week? What type, and how did you feel?
Yes, daily walks 30mins to an hour each, 2 x cross country skiing and a couple hours of snow shoveling ( my husband doesn't think I should be shoveling so he hired someone to help out today - we have several outbuildings that need to cleared before we leave for a week) My OB said I could maintain regular activity and lifting..
As many in this group approach the end of first trimester, what modifications are you making or planning on making? I need to look for pregnancy safe workouts to replace my normal floor/core exercises.
