Anybody hitting the gym?

I got the ok from my doctor. I came into this pregnancy overweight and developed high blood pressure late in my last pregnancy. My eating also is waaaay out of hand. Hoping the working out keeps me in check! I have been too lazy to go to the gym recently; I get on the eleptical at home. Miss the treadmill, though, thinking of going back to the gym in the next week or so. What does everyone else do?

Re: Anybody hitting the gym?

I am overweight also, and lost a LOT of weight before concieving (157lbs!) I was exercising a lot. Zumba 2x/week, walking during the week, and then long bike rides on the weekend. I was tracking my miles and getting in 150+ miles a month.

So far in this pregnancy I have been afraid to ride my bike or go to zumba, but I have been consistently walking. I only do about a mile 3-4 times a week and it's been so COLD out so I even walked at the mall today. So it has only been walking, nothing hardcore, but I know I need to stay active.

I still work out not hardcore like before but I still take classes I am still in the 1st tri so I am so nervous nauseated and tired since my dd doesn't sleep through the night still at 18 months so I am doing my best. I am overweight still I gained 50 pounds in my 1st pregnancy and I refuse to gain the same this time around so I am trying to be more self conscience in what I do

I'm 25 weeks and have been going about 3x a week up until about a month ago. Mostly because the holidays are getting a little crazy, also because I am so exhausted by the time I get home from work!!

I have been doing about 45 mins of cardio (elliptical and/or treadmil) at a consistent speed, and about 15-20 mins of light strength training.
I wish I still had the energy to go!!!

Re: Anybody hitting the gym?

almost 28 weeks and i've been relying on cleaning, unpacking and organizing our new place as exercise 3-4x a week for 5 hours each time

Re: Anybody hitting the gym?

I have not exercised one bit and feeling guilty... I was never into it before pregnancy but had decided to start up a routine to get in shape for TTC and BAMMM... I was preg right away So never got to start it... Then nausea kicked in... And now Im feeling better but still no interest... UGH
