Hello,
My name is Liz and this is my first time writing. I've only discovered Cathe Friedrich workouts 2 months ago (they are GREAT and so motivating), but prior to that I was doing Firm tapes for a year. They are good too. I have a 2 year old and I am now 13 weeks along with #2. My workouts have gone from 6 days/wk to 2 days due to nausea and lack of energy, but I'm starting to feel better now and have moved up to 3-4 times/wk. I was told to stop doing crunches after 20 weeks b/c my ab muscles would separate worse than they already would. What do you think? Do I need to stop then? I'm addicted to them. I read a previous response of Cathe's to a newly pregnant mother and remember reading that pushups and planks should be eliminated. When should I do this? Also that abs should be done on an incline...at that point and do I eventually need to eliminate them? Right now I'm doing them on a mat on the floor. Thanks for being there, Liz
