pregnant exercise program

I'm 17 weeks into an exercise program to recover from being pretty deconditioned. Starting out with 10 minute walks, and now I walk 30 minutes or go 20 minutes on my elliptical trainer every day. My resting heart rate has dropped from mid 80s to low 70s, and anxiety or mild exertion doesn't send my heart rate above 100 like it used to. But the last couple weeks, I've noticed that my heart rate has been going up more rapidly on the elliptical trainer.

I need to find a moderate- intermediate exercise program while I'm pregnant. I'm nine weeks today. And I'm already showing... I'd really like to keep the weight gain healthy instead of excessive. If anyone knows where I can find a program like that let me know. Thank you!

I used to do a similar style of circuit class but once I found out I was pregnant., my doctor said to stick to low-moderate intensity exercise particularly for the first trimester. To be honest I've been too tired to even think about doing those classes!

I am 4 weeks pregnant and want to know what cautions in exercise i should have. I went walking and feel very drained and dont want anything to hurt the baby. I know it us a dumb question but it has been 12 yrs since i have been pregnant. My son is now 11 and my daughter is 15.

s just a bonus to a regular exercise program and is not the only thing you should be doing. Cardio and oblique exercises will get rid of love handles; but your exercise goals should be for health purposes not vanity.

I enjoyed long hikes, backpacking, going to the gym, and doing hot yoga. I even started a weightlifting program with a personal trainer. However, once I got pregnant, I became terrified of miscarrying. I stopped everything and am now having a difficult time figuring out what I can do that is low impact. What are you all doing for exercise these days? I could use some ideas. Thanks!

If you're not already in an exercise program before pregnancy, it's not a good idea to start a vigorous exercise program. But walking and swimming are always beneficial if you are in good health.

As stated in the above post, do be sure and check with your doctor before beginning ANY type exercise program.

Absolutely! Any exercise where your heart rate rises over 100 will be beneficial. Try to keep you heart rate elevated for at least 30 minutes 3-5 times peer week. Please consult your physician if you have any chronic medical problems. You will find that by dropping your calories to under 1800 calories per day you will be more successful at your weight loss. For most people they need to walk 35 miles to lose 1 lb of fat--possibly shorter for bike riding but not by much.

Some might help in coordination with an exercise program. The main way to lose weight and improve health is to improve your diet and start an exercise program. I'm also wondering why the B6 and folic acid if you're not currently pregnant? Taking these two can interfere with B12 levels. B6 in excess can cause neuropathy, though it's not common.

Hello, about one year ago I to did the iop. It was a great program the only bad thing for me was when I heard some of the stories I thought to myself "well I'm not that bad" although I didn't use while I was there 8 am to 5pm. When I got in the car I took one half of a hydrocodone when Before I was takin 3/4 a day, so I made it thu the program but a few months later I was up to 6 a day! Now a year later I hate it that I didn't try harder!

Now, about 3 weeks into my new exercise program, I am starting to get palpitations during the day, while sitting at my computer. I also sometimes feel them when I'm starting a walk, however, it seems that once I warm up a bit, I don't feel them anymore. It actually seems like the only time lately I'm not feeling occasional palpitations is when I'm in the middle of a walk.

I was wondering about the 10,000 steps exercise program, but I'm a little confused. I was watching Dr. Oz(however, I'm not a fan) talk to this lady aout the 10,000 steps program. He stated that the 10,000 steps needed to take place at least twice a week in the same day. This sounds interesting to me, but I physically can not take the 10,000 steps without going into unbearable pain if it is done all at once.

Your feeling that your breathing has returned to baseline normal is important but should not alone, be relied upon to make the decision to return to your full exercise program. In addition, even should all the preceding be favorable, it would be wise to resume exercise with a low-level program and increase it over 1-2 weeks, in a stepwise fashion, every 2-3 days. If still unsure that all is well, check with your asthma doctor.

hi ladies I'm just wondering if any of you have the wic program and how it works. I want to apply for it but I'm not sure when I should before or after the baby is born. I'm 23 weeks.

Just wanted to update you guys on how my exercise program is going. I have been meeting with a personal trainer now for two months, twice a week for about 45 minutes. I have had NO major setbacks so far!!! She happens to also be a nurse, so I felt less anxious about working with her. She was unfamiliar with Dysautonomia, POTS, but researched it so that she would understand my condition(s). Needless to say, she was nervous about working with me and saw me (as I did) as fragile.

While playing the waiting game to hear how they are going to treat my issues, is it OK to exercise? I'm not a normally active (exercise wise) person. I don't want to do anything that would cause cysts to burst or twist. What do you think?

Someone who is in shape can exercise vigorously, but somebody who has not been getting any real exercise will need to start out with an easier program. Somebody in between can work out at a moderate pace. Everybody should exercise a minimum of 3 days a week to make any gains at all, and it really takes at least four to see fast results. Once the heart is in shape and the body muscles are used to a light program you can step it up to something more moderate.

I know it is too early (1 week post op), but looking forward, has any found a relaxing exercise program? My first thoughts were yoga, swim, or Zumba. I kook forward to trying something when the time is right. Thanks!

See your doctor before you start any exercise program. If you haven't worked out in a while (or ever) start with a walking program of about 20 to 30 minutes, 3 days a week. Every day, ask yourself how you will make your life healthier. It can be as simple as drinking more water or parking farther away from the front door.

If you have not been exercising before this point, you need to talk to your doctor or midwife first. You can't just start up an exercise program in the middle of pregnancy.

My last period was about 3 months ago. I also have been on a diet and exercise program for abou 8 months and have lost about 35 lbs. I do aerobic exercise 4-5 days a week for 30-45 minutes. I have spotting after exercising. It ususally is very light. Should I be concerned.

I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions as far as exercise goes when you are pregnant. I was an athlete before getting pregnant...ran, biked swam and played softball. Now that I am lucky to be pregnant, some of these activities the doctor wants me to avoid. I have been walking on my treadmill, but getting bored with that. I may be athletic but I love food... so I am starting my pregnancy off overweight. I want to have a healthy pregnancy and enjoy some exercise.

I work and i qualified for wic when i became pregnant. It's a program to make sure you and the baby are getting the proper nutrition. I'm in Florida so it may be different in your state butt i would try.

They say to consult a Dr so you can have your blood pressure checked and maybe some other testing done to make sure you're healthy enough for exercise. Do you have a family Dr?
