Insanity and Prego?

If it were me, I would hold off on it and do a walking routine instead. Definitely talk to your doctor and see what level they recommend.

I was actually just wondering to myself if I can keep running while pregnant (I'm not pregnant yet, but we are considering it soon), and everything I've been able to find says it's fine to keep doing the same intensity of a workout that you did pre-pregnancy, unless there are other reasons to stop. It isn't advised to increase intensity or start a new or difficult routine during pregnancy, but continuing at the same level should be fine. I'd also see what your midwife or doctor has to say since they can see you in person and will have a better gauge of your fitness level and medical history.

I wouldn't do it. It's too intense even if you are used to it. I ran half way through my pregnancy until it hurt & 'ran' a half marathon at 12 weeks. I just took it slow & walked any time I started to get winded. I don't buy the you can only walk thing. Working out is good for you & the baby. Get the book Exerising through your pregnancy by Dr. Clapp. It's a very good resource.& a must for an exerising mama. Good luck!

Ask your doctor. It depends on your medical history and your current level of fitness.

Mine said I can do anything I did pre-pregnancy - running, skiing, whatever I like. He said exercise does not cause miscarriage and I will have an easier pregnancy if I stay as active as possible.

I just entered my 2nd trimester, still doing my normal routines, still sweating like a mofo in cardio and Zumba classes.

Listen to your own body and the advice of your doctor. You are the experts in this case.

Definitely ask your doctor, just to be sure and get the go-ahead, but honestly, as long as you're not adding anything new, you should be able to maintain your current intensity level without an issue. You just have to be super-aware of your body, make sure you stay hydrated, and don't push yourself past a certain point. Which, since you're physically active already, you'll be able to understand, because I'm sure you know when you've pushed yourself too far.

I ran regularly, went snowboarding, light horseback riding (no jumping or crazy things, and always on a horse I completely trusted to not buck me off), and I didn't lighten up on any of that until at least 6 months into my pregnancy. I continued to jog, and then finally just walked towards the end, more because I just stopped feeling comfortable with a belly and having too much bounce going on than anything else. But you can definitely maintain your activity level and adjust as you go, because being pregnant does not mean you're going to break.

Good luck trying to get the energy for Insanity during the first trimester, though, haha. I was EXHAUSTED for the first 12 weeks, and slept like a rock. Only time the entire pregnancy I could sleep like a rock, actually.
