Re: Working Out During Pregnancy
AE did a good job of summarizing it. Always consult ur obgyn first. My ob np told me that doing treadmill and bike were ok as well as lifting light weights. I know that my arms and my legs gained weight and I was sick in the first few months, but I started working out when I got my energy back. Also when u feel a little tired stop what ur doing and rest or even quit ur workout because u have to listen to ur body and not try to over do it. For me the treadmill works best right now...although my doctor said I could use the elliptical I don't use it because I know I will over do it and I want to keep my work out on low key right now. Also with machines I don't use any weights (or low weights that I can handle). I want to do swimming but the gym pool is male-female mix. So can't do that.
Also since I got sick my doctor told me to limit my work out to 20 mins and then gradually increase my time limit as I get used to working out again...
