Hi,
I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and feelng wonderful. I was an avid exerciser up until the day I conceived and continued to exercise for the first couple months of pregnancy. Then, I got a bit lazy and now am getting into the swing of things again this past month. My question is what happens when your heart rate gets too high while exercising? I try to keep mine down, but it is just really difficult to do! Am I causing harm to the baby if it is too elevated?
My other question is whether it's okay for me to lay on my back and do some exercises. I know it's not recommended, but is that just for long periods of time? I just did Pure Strength, chest, shoulders, and triceps a couple days ago and felt guilty because part of it I was on my back for the chest part. Is that bad??? I thank everyone in advance for their insight on these subjects
