    DO NOT BUY FROM HOTSKINS!!

    To anyone thinking of purchasing from this company, save yourself the money and stress. I ordered from them back in December. The product never arrived, so after a month, I cancelled. Two months later, the product arrived at my house. A representative there told me to send it back, which I...

    broken up workouts

    my little one sleeps in very short spurts during the day, so I have to break my cardio up into sometimes 4 15 minute segments. Do you think this is the same as doing an hour straight?

    Poll: do you work out after having almost no sleep?

    Just curious how most of you handle sleep deprivation and exercise. I tend to err more towards working out, even if I can rest instead. Somehow, it energizes me, even if my body really needs sleep. Maybe I'm a bit exercise obsessed, but somehow it livens my spirit. Anyone else?

    Hip joint pain

    Oh man...I think I might have damaged my hip joint yesterday. I worked out on the abductor and adductor machines at the gym, and now, 12 hours later, the side of my hip is killing! I'm guessing that because of relaxin, I managed to shift my joint out of place. Does anyone know what my plan of...

    Ab exercises

    Is it safe to do one of Cathe's ab routines on an incline? Does anyone have any other ideas for abs during pregnancy, other than planks? The exercise that is done on all 4s, where you pull the abdominals up, seems to be a better workout for those further along in pregnancy. But at 14 weeks...

    Do any of you get this?

    My doc said it's fine for me to continue the exercises I normally do, as long as I don't overheat, and as long as I'm comfortable. However, any time my neighbors or relatives see me shoveling outside, or doing any kind of yardwork, they feel it's necessary to advise me to stop because it's bad...

    relaxin

    I hope I'm not repeating a previous post, but I've been reading a lot about how we need to limit certain exercises, such as kickboxing, because of relaxin. I am at about 3 months, and do not notice any change in my joints. Is this hormone released early on in pregnancy, or is it something I...

    Exercising thru pregnancy book

    Hi. I am at 4 weeks, and JUST found out!! I see that Sheila and Cathe both recommend Exercising Through Your Pregnancy by James Clapp. But apparently it's out of print. Ebay and Half.com don't have it. Maybe someone here has a copy they no longer need, or can tell me where I can buy one. In...
