pregnancy weight lifting routine

I'm 21yrs old and 9 weeks pregnant. I work for an airline and sometimes lift 50lbs bags at check in. I've heard lifting heavy weight can be bad and lead to miscarriages. However I've also heard that because I have done this job for the past 2 years I should be fine because my body has adapted to it. I told management and they said the only thing they could do is congratulate me...

s my typical bulking season so pregnancy is find gaining weight and I can cheat more then usual.

Is anyon weight lifting during their pregnancy i do alot of squats dead lifts and hugg intensity exercises. My doctor said it was alright but other s ob say otherwise..

) if your not used to heavy lifting then avoid lifting anything over 60 pounds or anything akward to lift like moving a bed or couch that would cause strain to ur body

I'm overweight and have been working hard to lose weight (down 30# thus far). I just found out that I'm pregnant again. I am thrilled but terrified by how this will effect my weight loss goals. I don't want to sacrifice my baby's development for my desire to lose weight so I'm going to keep working out but want to do so safely. Are there any strict guidelines for working out during pregnancy? I keep finding contradictory information. Any help would be appreciated.

from what I was told, if you did it before pregnancy, you should be safe to do it after, you just don't want to start up an exercise routine AFTER finding out because it would be too stressful on your body. so I would suggest to just do your cardio, at a lower rate then you normally would, and when you see your dr to confirm your pregnancy, talk to him about what he suggests.

Hey I am a 130lb white male, skinny framed. I have been weight lifting for about a year and a half now and have gotten relatively tone (not too big, but tone). I was just seeing if any experienced guys on here have a good routine for a beginner/intermediate like myself. I started doing a little of everything 3 times a week, then did arms/abs then chest/back/shoulders/legs twice a week (which took like 2 hours each time to where I was ready to pass out).

Does anyone do pregnancy workouts? I try to do them every other day!

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.

First of all I would say it depends on how far u are and not only That but also whether or not u were lifting heavy before pregnancy. It's easy to strain yourself when lifting specially because your balance isn't as good. I'm 120 pounds pretty petite if I lift 50 pounds that's Def not safe lol.

If you had a routine where you worked out before pregnancy then you can stick to it BUT I would ask your Dr just in case.

t lift more than half my weight. I worked in dog grooming so I was always lifting dogs up into tubs and what not.

I had problem gaining weight too nd I eat protein bars b/w each meals nd I hcame from 100lbs to 112 bt exercise helps a lot too to be tone

Hi, I am about 6 weeks pregnant. I have to do laundry and live in and apartment, and the laundry room is upstairs just one flight. I usually have to carry about 4-5 loads of laundry up. Is this ok to do? What are the weight limits for pregnancy? I'm just concerned cuz I am 33 and overweight and so I am worried I may lose the baby if I do too much. Thanks for any quick responses.

Do you think that I should implement a mild weight training routine as well? I was thinking about doing some weight training 3 days a week? Is that enough or too much? This 3 day weight training routine would be in addition to my cardio 6 days a week. I will in no way shape or form compromise doing less days of cardio to do weight training (especially since what I am doing is working), so all of this will be in addition to my original cardio.

My concern is that he goes to the gym and lifts weights and does a cardio routine. I heard that lifting weights can be dangerous if you have an enlarged aorta. He has resorted to not lifting any more heavy weights but he feels he can still do push-ups, chin lifts, and lighter weight lifting. I feel he should not do anything that stresses his body. Why push it? Because he has worked out most of his life I know he cannot stop doing his exercise routine.

Unless thats what you were doing pre pregnancy. I heard if you did a lot of heavy lifting, and heavy excersizing then it's okay to continue that but to never jusy start up doing those things during pregnancy.

Im a vet tech and trainer, plus three dogs at home. I totally understand your concern. If I had to lift anything, I used my knees and didn't put a lot of strain on my mid section of my body. I don't lift any dog over 45lbs. If I have to I ask for help. Im 17wks and baby is fine. A lot of people will tell u not to lift, but I know you have to do what you have to do. Just DONT struggle and over do it AT ALL! I hate asking for help, but have to for babys sake.

depends what you are talking about... weight lifting, if you were doing it before you were pregnant then your fine to continue doing what you did at the gym if it still feels comfortable. if you mean things around the house and so on i carry loads of laundry at home up and down are flight of stairs since the beginning im 32 wks now ( no problems) i also have a 4 year old niece i carried early in pregnancy she's probably about 25 or 30 lbs.

It is amazing for building strength and the thing about rings is you will always be able to progress into something harder so you could use it to get bigger mass, unlike floor routine body weight movements there is always the possibility to overload your muscles even more, and it's great for core strength too. I ordered some gymnastic rings for only 60 dollars on amazon and they were here within a few days! Try out some plyometrics! Gymnastics... Pilates, Yoga.

U could get a hernya or miscarriage lifting so much weight girl!

Continue lifting w/ caution. I've read not to lift excessive weight. Don't over do it! Check w/ your Dr about weight limits.

There's weight lifting and there's weight lifting. I'd probably lay off the full squat and throw-up-bucket routine. Hopefully some here or elsewhere with varisces can chime in with their own experiences with weight lifting.

I go to the gym everday...and i am currently 6 weeks lifting moderate to heavy weight. I definitely dont over do it, but i work up a good sweat. Does anyone do crossfit or lift weights?

I was put on a 25lbs weight restrictions early in my pregnancy. My job I do alot of bending and heavy lifting. So thats why they did it.
