How often do you exercise?

I have been going to the gym 3-4x/week for 30-40 mins of cardio.

I feel like I'm not exercising enough. On days I don't go I try to make it a point to walk my dog more often.

I'm worried I might not be getting enough exercise.

Re: How often do you exercise?

I have been working out every morning at home with some home videos, basically using weight for upper body and working out my glutes. I also try to go to the gym 2-3 times a week for cardio.

Re: How often do you exercise?

I think that's pretty good!!!

I walk my dog in the mornings for 1/2 hour (which used to be running). And I also have quite a bit of walking for my commute to the city. I don't think I could do much more at this point.

Re: How often do you exercise?

I walk home every day from the train to my house ~40 minutes. Sometimes do some upper body with weights but at 32 weeks I get winded quickly so Im not too worried about doing too much.

How often do you exercise?

When I was newly pregnant I was going to the gym regularly. I quit nysc to save money and was doing just walking. I wish I kept up exercising but I didn't. I've been doing regular walks now.

Re: How often do you exercise?

i feel like a blimp, but i try to at least 4-5 days a week, do 30 minutes of walking.

Re: How often do you exercise?

With 6 days to go, it takes every ounce of my being just to roll out of bed to pee 6 times a night

Re: How often do you exercise?

I didn't have any energy to exercise during my first trimester but once I started to feel better I started trying to walk on my treadmill a few times a week for 30 minutes. Since my pool has been open, I try to swim most days for 30 minutes instead of walking. Swimming is pretty easy and refreshing so I don't even really feel like I'm exercising. I used to do a lot more before I was pregnant, so I feel like I'm being kind of lazy, but at the same time it's not worth it to me to push myself too hard.

Re: How often do you exercise?

Not at all I need to get my butt in the gym; i just feel so lazy some days!

I told myself tonight I will do my prenantal pilates workout at home. Maybe take the dogs for a nice 40 minute walk

Re: How often do you exercise?

The hospital pre-admission form had a question about exercise - it effectively caused enough guilt to get me moving. I'm aiming to walk at least 30 dedicated minutes a day (not including the walking involved in commuting and chasing DS). I'm on day 4 and actually feel a little better than usual.

Re: How often do you exercise?

I was exercising 4 times a week prior to getting pregnant. (Kickboxing, step class, insanity)

When I found out I was pregnant I stopped bc I had alot of cervix issues with my twins.

My cervix is fine so far now so I want to start up again. Just not sure how? can I just jump right back in and just watch my hr?

I have been walking 5 or 6 miles 3 times a week and running after my 18 month old twins, that has to count for something!

for the first 21 weeks I was working out like i normally running 25 miles spin etc... then dr. told me to stop running so i ride my bike and walk about 4 days per week. I cannot wait to run again that's for sure:)

Re: How often do you exercise?

I can only make it to the gym on weekends, and only on weekends when I don't have plans. I try to take a break from working and take a walk a few days a week, but it's not nearly as much as before I was pg. I was probably running 40-50 miles a month before I was pg, and now I'm closer to 25-30 a month. I'm also 14w3d and still exhausted. My dr said anything is better than nothing!

Re: How often do you exercise?

I did absolutely nothing during my pregnancy. Any exercise I got was from walking up and down the stairs in my office.

Re: How often do you exercise?

I walk for 40-45 minutes 5-6 times a week.

Re: How often do you exercise?

Does chasing a 20 month-old count? If yes, then every day. If not... then I don't exercise.

Re: How often do you exercise?

I'm not big on exercise as it is , but I don't work out at all now that I'm pregnant bc my OB told me at 6 w not to. But I am a very active person and always on the go, trying to slow down a bit now that I'm 35 w.

Re: How often do you exercise?

pre-pregnancy i was a huge exerciser (primarily running) and now i barely do anything. Dh and i go for long walks occasionally but that's definitely not enough. trying to find motivation to get myself back to the gym!
