I'll start by sharing I finally have the energy to get back to my classes more regularly. I'm finding myself mostly able to keep up but I'm not trying to lift my max anymore. The rower is also starting to get less comfortable.
I was actually just getting back in to my daily walks and doing well but now I’m sick and it sucks. I was only up 5lbs. so far and I think walking helped with that, being sick has caused me to lose 3lbs. Once I get over this illness I plan to get back to my daily walks to help maintain a healthy body and weight gain this time around.
Similar to @ashnicell, I’m finally starting to feel like myself and get a more consistent routine going. The main adjustments so far are lighter weights bc I’ve lost so much muscle this year, and then adjustments to prevent an coning / ensure safe ab workouts (like incline bench presses instead of flat, replacing planks with dead bugs, etc). And trying to incorporate a few exercises that open the hips.
I was doing some yoga but haven’t been in a couple weeks. I fully intend to go to class this Monday but it might be a bit hard now that my belly is getting bigger. I’ll just have to do some adjustments. Then start going to the maternity yoga place. Or do it at home
I'm still hanging in there with the regular workouts and am loving that it still feels good to jog and do jumps, but at the same time I got winded in my kids dance class the other day 😂.
I’m still climbing but with being limited to “no falls” my gym is cut in half and busy times are just not worth it. It’s been warm enough to hike which has been nice and I added yoga back but everything just feels so watered down. My abs seem to have split already, I thought that wasn’t supposed to happen until the end of the 2nd trimester but it started to pop under my belly button around week 11-12 and it’s driving me insane. I blame my job since I frequently have to lift patients in a side pulling motion. I was under the impression a strong core prepregnancy would help prevent it but now I’m reading the opposite and that petite and fit people split earlier😑.
My motivation to stay active has also just been low as all my activities feel so limited in what is “safe.” I’m hoping as it gets warmer I’ll be motivated to swim laps again but even that feels much harder.
