What do you do for exercise?

[AmBam]

I was just wondering if/what you all do for exercise. I haven't been working out, but decided I better get back to it. I'm starting this pg about 40 lbs overweight and really want to keep the weight gain to a minimum! Anyway, I went to a little gym that opened here last year. It's tiny as I live in a really rural area, but it was great. The lady trains you, so I pretty much have a personal trainer and it's inexpensive. I am very excited about it! I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow, but I am excited to be getting into it. I feel much better today than I have all last week! So... do you/ are you working out or getting any kind of exercise?

I walk my boys to school and also walk to pick them up so I probably walk close to a mile everyday.. I am sure I should be doing more but just don't have the energy to do so.

I work at a Curves so I exercise there 3-4 times a week. It helped me lose all my pregnancy weight from ds so I'm hoping it helps keep the weight down this time around (gained 42 lbs last time!)

i go on daily hikes and swim and do yoga as often as i can.

bicyling?

I have been wanting to buy a bicycle and I almost did yesterday. But when I mentioned it to my sister she seemed to think it was bad idea. Do you think I will be able to bicycle while pregnant?

I am SO jealous! If I could work out, I would walk my son to the park everyday (it is 1.25 miles roundtrip to the pool and park). We did that most days this summer, then we went swimming.

I am getting exercise by lugging a cast around everywhere. I am a little afraid of what is happening to my muscles under there, but we will see in a month. The good news about the cast is that I get a full workout with every household task.

I get up early before my husband has to go to work and take an hour long brisk walk. It is a great time to think about things and see the neighborhood early in the morning. I look forward to this time every day and know that is helps keep me sane throughout the day and will keep me fit and healthy throughout this pregnancy

One of my good friends biked most of her pregnancy. Up until about 7.5 months. It was great exercise. I would if I didn't have lots of snow already! If you feel comfortable I say go for it!!

I was walking with our double stroller all Summer/Fall but now that it is cold here in MN, I got on the treadmill and I'm trying to do at least 30mins/5 times a week. I don't want to stay inside all winter and emerge in the Spring big and pregnant and not able to move.

I've been running or biking 3-4 times a week, plus I usually bring DS out every day (we live in the city, which means lots of walking). I didn't lose all my pregnancy weight with DS, so I'm trying to stay active--but I have to keep reminding myself not to worry too much because the most important thing is the baby. But it's hard!

LOL This is me. I've been 5 months in a cast, and now a CAM boot cast thing.
What do I do for exercise? I limp around and kegels.

Tomorrow I start PT, and I hear it will hurt like crazy. So I guess I'll be getting exercise then?

I was doing a Denise Austin video about 3 to 4 times a week then I started to feel nasty. I will be going to yoga tommorow night.

[tiffany21074]

running here, and yoga. also walking, and some calistenics.

[gr8tfulmom]

Going back and forth from the new house is 1/2 mi (we're living at the front of the property), so a couple times a day w/ ds in the stroller is doing pretty well so far. If it's raining we drive : Some light stretching and kegels are about the only conscious exercising I'm doing.

[bbrandonsmom]

I alternate between 'fit mamma yoga' and 'pregnant pilates' and I take the 2 dogs on 2 15-20min walks daily with ds in the stoller.

I've been trying to walk for about a half hour (or 1.5 miles) four or five times week. It's not much, but I haven't exercised on a routine basis in a while, and I feel weird about a massive routine change right now.

Chase around a toddler. Well I've been going on a good walk each day too, but my stroller wheel snapped off. Gotta get a new stroller. Feeling lazy since reading the above posts and debating buying excercise videos and carrying around casts and such. Oh wait, maybe I'll just sit and be woozy
