I would suggest that Covid makes everything a little more difficult. It seems to throw a psychological dragginess over doing things. So if your exercise routine isn't particularly inspiring, as Pax says, it would not only be hard to stick with in normal times, but to me it seems unsurprising that it would be harder to stick with it now.
I agree that doing something that's a workout in itself but you like, is a good way to exercise.
If you have an iPhone, look up the 7 minute workout app (it's free). It's basically 12 high intensity exercises, 30 seconds each with 10 second rest periods in-between. Like you, I'm close to plus size and and just started this ap about a week ago. It kicked my butt the first few days but it's getting easier and you can modify it (I do girl push-ups instead of regular push-ups).
You can design an effective 15- to 20-minute, high-intensity workout with a combination of such exercises as jumping jacks, squat jumps, lunge jumps, squat-thrust jumps, mountain climbers and high knees. For a boot camp-style training session, perform each exercise for one minute with a 30-second recovery between exercises. Rest for three minutes after completing the first set, and then complete two more sets.
The following is an excellent routine!

t want you to take on a complete new exercise routine right after finding out you are pregnant. If you are already doing all that it's fine to keep it up but double check with you Dr. I know a lady that ran marathons until the day before she had her baby. So running is fine too. I've known a lot of people that continue running.
try a dvd by zumba or another trainer you like, and mix it up. Don't do the same routine all the time. Confuse your muscles by having a different routine every day.
Any of you ladies exercise? If so what is it you do that's not to hard on you or baby. I need to get a routine going.
I have always had a problem with my weight being approximatelyl 20 pounds over but over the last 6 or so months i have put on about 15 pounds. I am 5' 8" and just turned 40. Not telling my weight. I have a sit down job, heart disease, perimenopause. i'm not batting a thousand. My question is does anyone out there have any "tricks" to getting rid of weight? I already know about exercise, eat right...
Be very careful about lifting weights, that can be dangerous for the pregnancy, but if you're already a jogger it won't hurt you si long as you don't over exert yourself. Light exercise is always recommended during pregnancy.
I'm 35 weeks and I use the stationary cycles at the gym. I also walk, do light arm, chest and back workouts with weights (no more than 25 pounds), and though I haven't done it I've heard swimming is great. You'll know if you're over doing it.
I think as long as the exercise is not strenuous..and you're not over doing it you will be just fine. The best ive heard is walking, I used an elliptical routinely before I got pregnant, I dont anymore because ive just not had the energy ( I also have 2 boys that are 4 and 2) and I work as a server in a restaurant 6 days a week. So I feel like with working and taking care of my boys I get enough in. Just no lifting!
Elliptical is easier on your joints! Try the following routine make sure your Dr. says it's OK to exercise!!
The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90 second cool down in between each outburst.
This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth hormone in the body.
I know they say that water aerobics and light excersizes are good to treat the fibro pain, but whta about hitting the gym to do a normal exercise routine? i have been working out on & off the past few days and my body feels like ****! it seems that when i pull a muscle its 50x worse than it was before i started suffering from fibro. im just trying to figure out if working out will show some long term affects in reducing pain or if im only making things worse.
As your skill builds, the added poses become increasingly challenging in different ways, which makes yoga an exercise routine that grows with you. Another basic yoga concept is that everyone is on his or her own path, progressing at his or her own pace. So leave behind the competitive spirit or fear that you’re not as good as others. Be sure to let your instructor know you have arthritis so he or she can help adapt the poses to match your personal physical limits.
m 23 yo male I am currently eating healthy and at a calorie deficit and I walk on treadmill for about 40 min a day for 5 times a week. Could someone suggest me some workouts I can do at home which involves all the bodyparts?
cheers!
The same goes for exercise - vary the routine often because when you do the same thing everyday for the same # of reps in the same sequence, or eat the same # of calories, same type of food, etc your body becomes used to it and no longer responds the way you want it to.
I hope this helps and I'm sure some of the others will come up with some ideas as well.
Early on in your pregnancy you can basically follow your pre-baby workout routine at a lower intensity. It is important to keep your heart rate lower, but you should be able to maintain the same activities (Lifting,running, etc.) into the second trimester. The key is to listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain. I ran until about 30 weeks and did sit ups through the first trimester and feel like that has been a large part of my complication free pregnancy (so far at least). I am 38Wks+2.
Losing 40 pounds by Sep 14 is a pretty tough goal; that's only 12 weeks away. Safe weight loss is 1-2 pounds/week; you'd have to plan on losing a little over 3 pounds/week and wouldn't be able to backslide a bit. I think your goal is a bit optimistic.
You should first check to make sure you don't have an medical issues that might prevent you from losing weight, such as hypothyroidism or insulin resistance. Your doctor can order some simple blood tests.
Over the past 6 months I have experienced unexplained weight gain (12 lbs). There have been no changes to my diet or exercise routine. My breasts are also larger and sore. I did have an ovary removed last year, but my periods are fairly normal ... light, but that's typical for me. I had lab work done a few months ago and all of my blood counts were in the normal range.
Any help would be appreciated.
