TTC and exercise
need your opinion:
i am overweight (or fat) and would like to lose some weight, but i also know you should not start any new exercise programs when pregnant (or TTC)
i have leslie sansone's walk away the lbs. do you think it would be safe for me to do while TTC? (i can always decrease the intensity if it gets too much) I would also do my free weights. (i do them every now and then but would not do them 3-5 times a week)
also, i sometimes (like once every two weeks) do yoga. nothing too much, but a lot of the standing poses that require bending forward. do you think i ca continue with this on a more regular basis?

Re: TTC and exercise
personally I would start exercising and continue with it until you get a BFP, it can take a long time TTC sometimes and you don't want to kick yourself for not starting a routine earlier if it seems to take a while to get pregnant. I also think it helps pass the time when you're in the dreaded "two week wait" and you need something else to think about, I really think exercise can help clear your head....good luck with deciding what to do! I say it doesn't hurt to do it for now and see where the TTC road takes you!

TTC and exercise
I've never heard of not exercising or starting to exercise while TTC. In fact, the way I got pregnant both times was by working out like CRAZY that month! (I didn't know it until after.) I would definitely start a routine. Just make sure you don't drastically alter your diet when you start. But cardio and strength training shouldn't hurt you at all. With my first child, I worked out until I was 36 weeks pregnant and had a very quick L&D.

Re: TTC and exercise
I would think walking is 100% fine. Also like a PP said, who knows how long your TTC journey will be. It is short!

Re: TTC and exercise
My Dr said it's totally fine to exercise and start a regimine while TTC.. even while preg but not to start anything extreme that can spike your heart rate. I am currently TTC and also trying to lose weight. Good luck to you and hope you are not on here too long!
