    2nd tri- a whole new set of challenges

    Hi there! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am now 26 weeks preggo and still working out. At first, I had to take it easier (had placenta previa) as I was told to 'not workout and no sex.' I scoffed at that and worked out anyway! LOL. It worked out to my benefit, as the placenta previa...

    Pregnancy & Fitness??

    Didn't change much I also wanted to add that my body did not change much, especially considering I had my baby at 40 yr old. I had all the questions you do about getting pregnant and keeping healthy and fit. I found I had no problem at all maintaining my workouts right up till the end. I just...

    recomended workout shoes (intensity & insanity)

    Hey Lulu; I don't have my new Cathe videos yet, but I did complete a rotation of 'Insanity' (loved it!). To be honest, they say to wear cross trainers (I have Nike Sparq?), but I loved the feeling of doing it in my Nike runners (more cushioning). Also, I love my new Nike Free Runs --- very light...

    Dry Hair - What shampoos are good for this

    I would have to say that the suggestion to not wash as much is priority #1 for you. That is THE best advice even if you sweat everyday. Also, IMO, it does not matter what particular brand of shampoo/conditioner you use. This is when you want a deep conditioning treatment (should be described...

    Have any Canadians received DVDs yet?

    LOL! Well, I kind of glad I'm due to give birth this week or else I would be very impatient as well! I am in the Northwest Territories and don't expect them yet. I can't wait for after delivery to preview and try out these new workouts. It will be perfect timing too, as it will a be...

    Ab work after c-section

    You have no idea what an inspiration your story/experience is. I have read that it is a good idea to do work like planks after birth as crunches can actually be detrimental. I hope I can get back into exercise as quickly as you did after birth. I am used to leaning on workouts during the...

    Average Weight Gain

    Well, today is my due date and it's also my day off of exercising!!! I am considering doing a workout anyway because I am fearful of going overdue. Congratulations to you on getting to this stage in your pregnancy. I 'think' I have gained about 30 or so pounds. I'm not completely sure because I...

    Mommas to Be-Week of Nov. 8th Check-In

    Late reply Hi Winter; hope you are feeling better. Yes, this is my first child (girl) and am looking to 'spitting' her out anyday now! hahah. It's funny because I feel like a whale for most of the day until I put on my exercise clothes and start working out. Then, I feel almost 'normal.'...

    what dvd now?

    Erin, I could be wrong here, but it just sounds like you need to keep at it. The weight will come off in time. If I'm reading what you wrote right, it sounds like you are inconsistent in exercising (understandably). That is HUGE when it comes to weight loss. Consistency is key. It doesn't matter...

    Getting frustrated no weight loss

    OMG - I love this post! There's so much in here that I agree with (I'm still pregnant). I'm afraid of becoming obsessed with losing weight once I give birth and it's one of the reasons I don't own a scale. I plan to stick to a good eating and exercising regimine for at least three months before...

    Good Prenatal (& beyond) Exercise Book

    Thanks Wastewitch! That sounds like a great book. Man, I wish I had heard about it a few months ago as I am 36 weeks now. Abs have been a real challenge as I do mostly moves that are on all fours or standing up. I know it's important to keep them toned and also helps with lower back pain. I...

    Hey Jaypea and all you lurking mamas-to-be and wanna-be mamas-to-be! I am 36 weeks pregnant and still working out to a hybrid of many cardio and weight workouts (incl. Cathe, Amy Bento, and Chalene Johnson). I recently bought TurboFire and have been previewing the videos in anticipation of...

    Anyone willing to share workout log?

    Ummm...I'm sorry for bumping such an old post, but I found it interesting that some ladies were still doing 'Interval Max' while pregant! I had specifically put this one on the backburner as I thought it would be way too high impact/intense in the 2nd/third trimester. Hmmm...maybe I could try it...

    Did working out keep you from being OVERDUE?

    Bumping for interest's sake! I know this is an old thread, but I loved this post so much, I had to bump it! I so agree with the concept that exercise is good for MIND and body. I am 28 weeks and feel fantastic; I workout 6 days a week. I have definitely modified to low impact and lighter...

    What does "the kick" feel like?

    OMG, I am so glad you asked this question, because I feel like a fool when people ask me if I've felt the baby kick. I am 28 weeks and I still question whether what I am feeling is a kick. A definitely feel flutters, but as I've never been pregnant before, I can't say for sure what those...
