Spin class while ttc?
Some girls at work asked me to join a series of spin classes with them. They dont know that I am ttc, and the only classes offered are spin. IF we get lucky and conceive, will taking 1 or 2 classes a week (1 hour each) be harmful? If I sign up, I am committing to a year long membership. Ive never taken a spin class but it seems like a LOT of pressure will be on my hooha.

Re: Spin class while ttc?
I'm not sure about spin once your pregnant (I'm assuming you can't do it very long into pregnancy) but I can warn you that you will have a sore hooha the first few times you take a class. I only "grew out" of the soreness after taking classes more often.

You can absolutely take Spin classes while TTC and continue while pregnant.
One of my instructors taught her classes until she couldn't fit comfortable on the bike anymore - around 7 months I think. If you do become pregnant, you just have to monitor your heart rate more closely.

Re: Spin class while ttc?
Once you are pregnant, you can continue most exercises you were doing prior to your BFP, but if you get pregnant soon and just started spinning, I don't think it would be recommended to keep it up since you just started it. Does that make sense? It might be a lot of strain on your body since it isn't something you did regularly beforehand, you know?

Re: Spin class while ttc?
I'd sign up for it.
The month I got pregnant they were doing this "marathon classes" training thing at my gym so everyone was encouraged to take at least 30 classes over the month, so I was trying things I'd never done before, including spin. My doc seemed to think all the extra exercising may have helped me! 
I was already going to the gym 5 days a week before I got PG, and I continued to go 4 days a week until this week (36 weeks pregnant)... I'm down to 3 days now, and I mostly just walk. I was still taking step aerobics until last week, though.
Exercise is great when you're pregnant and great when you're TTC too. Just listen to your body and don't cause yourself to over do it.

I'm TTC and I take spin classes. My trainer taught spin until about 6 months I think. At that point your belly starts to get in the way.

Re: Spin class while ttc?
I think its important to maintain your life while TTC, as it was pre-TTC. I gave up EVERYTHING in the beginning, and look at me 6 months later, not PG and feeling like I missed out on some things I didn't do because I thought I was going to be PG.

Very good advice. I am trying to regroup my brain and not let it consume me like it did the past two months.
