I'm 30 weeks and I still do aerobics, step aerobics and Zumba, and I was doing spinning until a few weeks ago, but it just got a bit uncomfortable. I also go to the gym and do some strength training and cardio.

I stopped doing classes like boxercise and core stability earlier on because of the emphasis on abs exercises, and when I lift weights, I use much lighter ones now. I also keep the classes I do lower impact.

I think it's fine to carry on doing what you have been doing, but there are some things you do need to be careful with, and you know your body, so will know when to stop.

In my first pregnancy I used the gym until 34 weeks, but I stopped classes at about 12 weeks. In my second pregnancy I exercised very randomly, and I gained a lot of weight. This time I plan on using the gym and doing classes until 37 weeks, which is when I'll start a payment holiday from my gym just to save a bit of money for 3 months! Then I'll get back into it.

Before getting pregnant I used to go for circuit training 3-5 times/ a week as well as walking and zumba (occasionally). Now my exercise routine is limited to walking 5-7 times/ a week. It feels safer to me.

I am 32 weeks and have continued my normal work out routine during my whole pregnancy so far which consist of 30-45 minutes cardio (I was running but it has became uncomfortable so I do the eliptical instead) and 30-45 minutes of weight training. I do use some lighter weights depending on the exercise and if I feel tired I will slow down but other than that I haven't changed anything other than of course ab exercises. My doctor told me whatever I was doing prior to becoming pregnant and what my body was used too was completely fine to keep doing. I have been working out for 3-4 years prior to pregnancy so I really don't feel like I'm pushing myself at this point. Only thing is I have to stop and pee a million times!

What kind of weight training do you do?

I work different muscle groups each day of the week so one day I'll do chest and shoulders with various exercises with weight machines or free weights/cables/kettlebells to work those areas, and then I'll have a day of bi's and tri's, back, lower body, etc. I try to mix it up with weight machines (which sometimes feel more stable for during pregnancy) and free weigths but I still use the squat rack and cables which have me using my own body for stablization. For free weights and dumbbells I usually use between 10-20 pounds depending on the exercise, same thing for kettlebells. On the weight machines I can tend to increase the weight a little more. I was squatting around 80 pounds prior to pregnancy but have lowered it to around 40 now. I was used to doing cross fit and really pushing myself to the limit prior to pregnancy so I defnitely feel like I've slowed down some and I've just made the accomodations for that.

^^ Exactly. My doctor and trainer told me the same thing. I was swimming, practicing yoga, lifting weights, and playing roller derby before I got pregnant. I obviously can't be hitting girls on skates anymore, but my doctor said I'm allowed to skate until I start feeling unsteady (probably third trimester).
