Exercising still

Hey is anyone else still exercising? I am a little over 12 weeks and I am still running, spinning etc.... My dr told me it was fine to do what I was doing prior just to not overdo it. My running has def slowed down a lot and I am not nearly logging the miles I was but I am still running. Also my HR monitor never works properly so I basicially know my body and if i can run and hold a conversation then i am not too worried. I was so sick from week 6-10 the only think that made me feel slightly better was working out although i still have no idea how i managed to force myself to eve move

Re: Exercising still

nothing intense, just walk every day.

Re: Exercising still

Before pregnancy I was jogging and using the eliptical regularly, but since becoming pregnant the most I'll do is walk on the treadmill. I felt so sick and exhausted during my first trimester that I wasn't even able to get myself to do that most days, but now that I"m feeling better I figure I should at least try to get into a routine of walking. I know it's probably safe to do more, like jogging, but I'm afraid to overdo it.

Re: Exercising still

I jog with my dog in the mornings and walk a lot every day (work in the city) but I have noticed my stamina lessening over the last few weeks. I'm 18w3d now but want to try to stay active for as long as I can.

Re: Exercising still

Lots of walking and light free weights

Re: Exercising still

i started working out again as of this morning. I'm really tired since i woke up so early, but i also feel good and happy that i did something productive

I did a dance workout dvd for about 25 minutes. i kept the intensity down though.

Hi! Congratulations!

Im still running, a lot slower and a lot less mileage but Im still doing it. Although, this weekend i ran 3 miles and I had very bad round ligament pain so I started walking and alternating some running in there and it helped relieve that pain.

Re: Exercising still

I am still exercising, but both my mileage and intensity are down. I aim for 4 miles 4 times a week. I know every dr is different, but mine said not to let my HR go above 140 for more than 15 minutes, so I have been running 10 minutes, walking 5 and just alternating like that. Sometimes I have some pressure/pain so on those days I just walk.

Rose I had no idea you are preggo! Congrats sweetie!!!!!

I'm almost 22 weeks and my exercise has definitely slowed down. The elliptical hurts my lower back so I stick to just walking, free weights and prenatal yoga. If you can do it, keep it up for as long as you can!

Re: Exercising still

I was still doing a combination of light jogging and walking for at least 45 minutes well into my second trimester. I constantly felt like I had to pee though because the baby seems to be right on my bladder. I tried jogging again last weekend (26.5 weeks), but stopped after about 10 minutes. I started having some pains below my belly button. I ended up walking for 45 minutes after that. I have friends who jogged until about 30 weeks.

Re: Exercising still

I was still teaching Spin classes and body sculpting at 37 weeks and DD was born at 38! Keep going as long as all is ok, I def, attribute my 3 hr labor to being active and strong!

Re: Exercising still

I ma still working out at 29 weeks I just do everything with less impact

Re: Exercising still

I'm only a little over 5 weeks, but am planning to continue running. I have a bunch of NYRR races coming up, so will probably just do them at a slower pace. I'll be wearing a heart monitor, but I've also heard that as long as you can carry on a normal conversation, you're not overdoing it.
