850661 tn?1245666056 I was once told that if you are pregnant you can still work out, but it is different workout. You are not working out to loose weight, you are working out to keep toned. They told me not to work too hard on the legs and build up muscle as it can make for a tougher delivery. Walking or a light run on a treadmill is still ok - just do what you can handle - same with the stepper. I would be ignoring the stomach crunches and the flat out run.
Avatar f tn I been somewhat keeping the workout but not as much. This week I only worked out twice. I deff need more motivation! I used to wake up at 5:30 4x week before pregnancy to work out, now barely at 6:15 and some weeks only work out 3 or 2 days....I put on 9 pounds and I'm 13&3 days!
Avatar f tn I lift heavy and I'm talking about squatting 100lbs benching and doing back workouts. I'm 12w 3d and I do this everyday. So I'm sure you are ok. Don't worry though. I also still carry my 2 boys if there sleeping my oldest is almost 7 and weighs 50lbs. I of course got the ok from my obgyn. So you should be good!
Avatar f tn hi there, I workout for almost two years, first was kind of me searching the best exercises and meals for me, and applying the best i can,i focused on body weight training, but this year am into lifting and doing weight trainings, never experienced injuries, exept in the begining of the journey i used to have pelvis pains due to the fats in my hip and butt area (i guess) but it's gone now (i lost 8kg) Anyway am also working now on my endurance, but i noticed this year, and exactly two months
Avatar f tn I really feel motivated to exercise and workout the muscles that haven't been used in probably 8 years. lol! Back when I was 14-17 I would join my father in the gym, but his trainer gave me different things to do to just be fit and toned. I do have some equipment at my house and my husband works crazy hours so we can't just go to a gym. Plus, I would like to look semi-decent to be able to even show up at a gym. (Yea, I've let myself go that bad.
Avatar n tn To begin with you should consult a fitness expert about using these weights. Normally one should begin with light weights and then depending on their fitness levels and type of exercise schedule gradually increase.There are chances of any stress or erosion of joints if too heavy weights are used. In case any discomfort is felt, stop using them and first seek your doctor’s opinion. Hope it helps. Take care!
559862 tn?1311516637 I do Denise Austin's pregnancy exercise dvd and it has aerobics and stregth training for each trimester...I'm not sure of the specific regulations BUT in the third trimester video she says to switch to like 2lb weights...I've been using 5lb weights and feel fine/haven't had any complications.
Avatar f tn I have REALLY slimmed down since eating correctly and exercising almost every day. I do crunches every day. But I also do other workouts throughout the week, including weight training (I just use 3-lb dumbells). I don't even have to do a lot of crunches- it all counts when you do them correctly. Getting your body moving and feeding it the proper fuel is what will help! Good luck and I hope you stick around here. I've learned a TON from being here for just a month!
703362 tn?1427766328 Today i did my 30day shred DVD im trying to tone up and it has the squats while holding dumbells and shes a killer anyways lol so yeah i got squats in and now im sore lol!!
1551655 tn?1294260921 A jumprope is a helpful way to get QUICK cardio exercise, but work up slowly. Using your arms and legs during arm circles leg lifts provides weight "resistance" training without investing in dumbells. If you wish to purchase hand weights or stretch bands to use at home, stores like Walmart in addition to Sports stores carry such equipment at very low costs. Yard sales are an excellent source of used exercise equipment!
Avatar f tn I worked out 4-56 times a week and now I can barely get 3 workouts in. I even made a schedule for a specific pregnancy workout I found on pinterest and walking and elliptical. We just have to listen to our bodies I guess! I felt Bette when I went to the doctor today because they told me to work out 3 maybe 4 days a week and only for a maximum 20 min..
Avatar n tn What do you ladies do for workouts while pregnant? Any schedules or specifics you follow? Any good advice? Im really trying to keep my body in shape.
Avatar n tn I want to workout my abs and thighs. Any workouts that you have in mind to help me workout?
Avatar f tn If you don't like workouts like me, try beach bodys rockin body workout (its kind of like zumba but not as intense). Its super fun and easy. Plus it doesn't look like you're working out, just dancing. Don't let anyone keep you down. You'll get to your goal weight! I believe in you! Same with you morgan1342.
Avatar n tn Starting from arm workouts (using 5lb weights and resistance bands) then followed by workouts that can be done at home later. (Squats, dips, etcetera ). I was not every active pre pregnancy but I would like to keep my body tight. Will this do any harm to my unborn? Thanks.
Avatar f tn after i get done with my workouts (i walk on my tredmill for an hour, do squats and work with my dumbells which weigh 5 lbs a piece so i'm within the weight range my ob told me) i get dizzy. i do eat properly 5-6 small meals a day, i've been taking all my pills and what not....any suggestions? i hate calling my ob so much. i have them on my speed dial and i swear every person in that office knows the sound of my voice and phone # off by heart by now.
Avatar f tn Now I am wondering if I should do my evening workout eg. Cardio-12mins, exercise using elliptical machine-20mins or butt workouts-5mins-8mins. I admit I feel so lazy and just tired after work and I always ended in the kitchen for dinner around 5.45-6pm. And I will go to bed by 10pm as I have to wake up at 4.30-5am. I wish to hear anyone's advise regarding my workout routine! Thanks!
Avatar n tn Ive always done whatever workouts I did before prior to being pregant up until about the 2nd trimester, as long as I had the energy for it. Strong abs really help during labor. But you shouldnt be laying on your back after around the 2nd trimester anyway. Some suggestions are on the exercise ball or plank holds because it strengthenes your core. But you have to keep it mild, no straining. Anytime you feel strained, stop.
Avatar f tn Using a sauna suit would help get rid of that extra water you may have in your thighs. They're about $20 at Big 5 Sporting Goods and they also help for all over your body. Good luck!
Avatar m tn The workouts las about an hour with 10 minute warmup and 6 to 7 cool downs and are very diverse in nature which is by design. All you need is a few dumbells and if you can a pull up bar. The workout DVD's cost about $120 and I was unsure of it when I looked into it. But having been able to try it out first. Best value ever. Sounds like it will fit into your financial and time constraints. I've lost 30 lbs and was doing almost 10 pull ups for each set by the end.
