Good morning y'all and TGIF!!! I just confirmed this morning that I'm expecting again totally a surprise pregnancy, not planned.
Anyway, I want to remain active with this pregnancy since this is A my 6th and B I'm 37 and C I just lost 47 lbs and I don't want them back...
My normal routine at the gym is cardio via the Arc trainer or the 30 minute circuit training area plus weights. Can I keep up with the arc trainer and weights, but tone it down on the circuit trainer?
I've never been active with my other pregnancies, so this is foreign to me.
Thanks for any info you can share. I'm currently 7 weeks along, got a while to go

Congratulations! That's fantastic news. You can keep active but get some advice from your doctor. It is best not to start anything new or lift weights that are too heavy, but provided you are in good health and the doctor agrees there is no reason why you can't keep active. You may want to take it a little easier to start with and don't let yourself get out of breath. Good for you keeping active. :flowerforyou:
There will be certain exercises you should avoid but perhaps join a pilates for pregnancy class. That will keep you in fantastic shape0 -
You might be able to do it all. I'd advise that you talk to your doctor and see what he/she thinks. If you get the green light to do it all, then just keep going!!
And congrats - what a busy household you've got!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Wow!! number 6!! Congrats! I just wanted to say you are awesome! I have three kids and whew! its a lot of work! they are such a blessing! Be safe working out and be healthy! Good luck with your pregnancy!0

When I was pregnant, I ran 5k's 3 times a week until I was 36 weeks. I kept up with my lifting and my circuit training. I did yoga and pilates and I even took up kettlebell training. So yeah, you can keep it up as long as you doctor says you're okay to do so. And it's a good idea to start wearing a HRM so you don't get over heated.0

Congratulations....there are a lot of pregnancy exercise DVD's so I'd try them. Also, just watch what you eat. I think you have to have more calories in a day when you're pregnant but still make sure you track them. I gained 50 lbs. with my daughter and 2 years later I am still trying to lose it. I'm going to have the same attitude as you when we have another child. Good luck!0

Congratulations! I would definitely consult your doctor for what works best for you. I will say that my neighbor was in the gym two weeks before she delivered. Wow.0

Congrats!! I know lots of people work out when their pregnant....I would speak to your DR. and let him know what you want to do. I'm sure things will have to be adjusted as you go along as well Good Luck!!0

congrats!!!
and you can totally do it!!
my friend that just had a baby stayed active and ate the calories she was supposed to (obviously she got to eat more but she didn't pig out!!) and she only gained 25 lbs with her pregnancy and is right off to losing it again after the baby was born.. the greatest thing is... she said she felt GREAT during her pregnancy when w/ her other kids / she didnt feel as great when she didn't eat healthy and still exercise (she did walking outside)
you can do it ! and congrats again!0 -
there's a lady all over the news here in Australia for running a marathon 6 hours before delivery hahaa
Yeah...0 -
Yippie!!! Congrats!!! I believe that you can still do your normal workouts durring pregnancy. You just need to pay more attention to your body and listen when it tells you to slow down... and definitly talk to your doctor and see what s/he thinks is best Congrats again!0

CONGRATS! I KNOW YOU WILL KEEP UP THE HARD WORK....0

Congratulation....... Stay on the program with your doctor advise.......... You will have a beautiful pregnancy !!0
