If you are exercising what do you do?

I am 13 weeks pg and have not exercised in months - I feel like I need to get back at it as I walked every day while I was pregnant with DD and felt so much better because of it.

So what type of exercise are you doing and how many days do you work out

TIA

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

as of late - i have been using my wii fit. I do the step programs (both easy and hard) and do the running program at least 3 or 4 times (thankfully, the scenery changes every time you use it). I do not run - but walk briskly...and keep a steady pace.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

Being that you haven't exercised in while I think you should take it easy. Maybe doing walks on the treadmill or something for 20 to 30 mins.

b4 pregnant I took a cardio kickboxing class and ran/walked outside or on the treadmill. Now I just go for a jog/walk on the treadmill about 4 times a week for about 45 mins. Oh... and I count cleaning my whole house working out too!. LOL

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

i do 1hr cardio about 3-4 times a week, 30 minutes treadmil, 30 minutes elliptical

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

treadmill, free weights, just cut down on going up in weight and during so many reps

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

I take spin classes-I wear a heartrate monitor to keep my heartrate down. I also walk on the treadmill or do the eliptical machine. I haven't done any strength excersices or yoga recently but I want to get back into that again.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

I just walk on my treadmill for about 30 min. I am kind of out of shape anyway so thats about all I'll attempt. Although today I shoveled snow and that was a pretty decent workout!

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

I walk -- a lot I walk outside when it's nice or on the treadmill when it's not. I am prepping for walking a 1/2 marathon in 3 months so I try to walk at least 5 days/week.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

i walk to work and back everyday which equals out to about 2.5 miles. if i have errands to run, i walk to those too so that can come out to 3-4 miles (depending on what i'm doing).

i also just bought a prenatal yoga dvd which i'm excited about (but haven't used yet) because i feel like i need some kind of stretching.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

when I had the energy to exercise, I just continued to do the same workouts-- just monitored my heart rate. Now, I just try to get out and do a little walking if the weather isn't too bad-- but, walking for too long is hard cause it gets uncomfortable, and I inevitably need to pee.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

I walk every weekday for an hour or more with a friend (weather permitting). I've wanted to add more to my "routine" since the beginning... 16.5 weeks... still just walking! At least I'm doing that! Haven't gotten on a scale in a bit but at around 14w or so I was the same as pre pg. And I'm eating.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

I do the elliptical for 40 minutes and some light weights or the treadmill for 40 minutes.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

Just a little yoga and stretching. I did some elliptical for a while, but we moved so i canceled my gym membership.

Re: If you are exercising what do you do?

I just walk on the treadmill now
