I was doing that video a couple times a week until just recently (I'm 17.5 weeks). I'd say as long as you were doing it before, keep it up- just stop when you're tired and make sure you're getting enough water. Also, maybe don't do some of the AB parts where you're laying on your back. That help?

I'm struggling with this too - I'm still doing zumba and have to remind myself to keep one foot on the floor at all times. I shouldn't do the jumps and higher impact stuff, so I just have to remind myself to modify. The other ladies here gave great advice - just take it down a notch from what you were doing, but you should be fine to continue!

I am doing Body Revolution by Jillian Michaels, I was doing this program before I was pregnant and before body revolution I did 30DS, Ripped in 30, and 6week 6pk. I have been modifying the moves and I don't push myself very hard anymore. I am 6+weeks pregnant. I also keep an eye on heart-rate level. Once it hits 150, I slow it down.

jaime - I was wondering the same thing on the HR. when I met with my doctor before we started TTC, she didn't say anything about my HR, but I'm curious now. in zumba mine still gets into the 170s so I may need to call and ask about that

I would ask your doctor about the heart rate. I know it isn't consistent across everyone, I am just one of those people who needs a more objective basis than the ABCs, so I just go with under 150.

My doc told me not to lift over 20lbs, too, because your joints become looser while you're pregnant. She doesn't want me to pop a shoulder out of place at the gym! She also said the same thing a few others have mentioned about HR and the talk test. If you're so winded you can't talk, you need to slow down. Something about the blood going to your muscles and not enough going to the uterus.

It seems that everyone's doctors alway tell them different opinions, it's so weird. I don't understand why everything isn't all across the board, at least for normal non high risk pregnancies. Anyway I was told not to let my heart rate go over 140. Some people are told other things. I was not told anything about the limit of what I could lift but I never asked. My daughter weighs in the upper 20's and I pick her up all the time. One thing he did say at my very first appointment was that after 20 weeks he didn't want me doing any exerises that were high impact or involved jumping up and down, like running. He said the elliptical was fine.

that is funny about the different things we hear. Also, many women run throughout their pregnancies. I have been sticking to lower impact stuff though just to be safe, but I wasn't a consistent runner before.

I was told to do the same routine I was doing before pregnancy (Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme) ..
For Turbo Fire : I do not do the HIIT part to a 100% since before before pregnant I was wayy out of breath ... I modify all the moves and try not to jum a lot.
Regarding the weight training (CLX) I was told not to lift more than 30 pounds...

For me the "talk test" works, if I find myself going out of breath I just slow down, the HRM of 140 is inacurrate and dated (Plenty of information on internet from good sources)

But the overall advise is to listen to your body, dress for excercise and drink plenty of fluids .... now is NOT the time to push ourselves to your limits, you have a little one that needs to be taken care of .... excercise is such an important part of anybody but I think food is sooo important as well .. I can be killing myself excercising during pregnancy but if after I give my body junk food... then I will gain weight that I don't need, I hope I can still keep this mentality during the rest of my pregnancy

Hope this helps! ...
