    Pregnancy Modifications

    Hi Cathe, I know you have a pregnancy forum, but I hope it's all right that I posted these questions here. I was hoping to get your personal answer to these. I am about 16 weeks pregnant, and know that I should not do abdominal exercises lying supine on the floor anymore. I've been...

    Kick, Punch, & Crunch II

    I'm going to vote again for another KPC. I think this is one of Cathe's best workouts and definitely think she needs to do a sequel!

    Push Pull and KPC comments

    Hi all. I did Push Pull yesterday and noticed that I have trouble doing the inner thigh work with the stability ball. I can't seem to keep the ball between my knees and ankles without it wanting to roll away. Perhaps I am using too big a ball? But I picked mine based onmy height, 5'6". I...

    Crissy, I am glad to hear you're feeling mostly good these days. May I ask where you found this "Bella Band" you mentioned. I definitely want to try it out!

    Moms-to-be check in week of February 11

    Hi ladies. I hope everyone's pregnancy is going smoothly. I'm now at 12 weeks, but still feeling occassional morning sickness (or as I call it, all day sickness). Does the second trimester start soon? I can't recall if it's week 14 or what. I'm starting to show and it's really...

    Moms-to-be check in week of Jan. 28

    Hi everyone. :) I hope everyone is feeling okay and that Kim's u/s went okay. I have been doing better with the bronchitis and nausea, so last week was a pretty good week for me in terms of getting in some good exercise. Sunday- BM2 (minus the upper body section) Monday- BM2 Double...

    exercise while pregnant

    That does help. Thanks so much, Karen! I will definitely look into the DVDs you mentioned. I am a bit reluctant, though, to try the pilates or yoga one since I have never really done much of either (pilates some, yoga honestly never). My doctor said to not do any new type of exercise and...

    Moms-to-be check in week of Jan. 28

    I have never started a thread here, so I hope this is okay. I wanted to get this check in back in business. I know I can't be the only Cathe fan that is pregnant these days. :) Last week, I did the following (keep in mind I am still recovering from bronchitis): Sunday- SJP Monday- Kick...

    exercise while pregnant

    I've also noticed a change in my endurance level since I became pregnant. I am about 9 weeks now, and still feel like low impact or minimal blasts of high impact is all I can do. For instance, today I did Kick Max, but only the kickboxing segment, and I did it twice. I didn't think I could...

    Feeling bad in my first tri . . .

    Congratulations, Chrissy. I am about 9 weeks along now, and have had horrible morning sickness this time. My first pregnancy, not so much. But this time is whole other story. I don't think they should even call it "morning" sickness, because for me, it lasts on and off all day long. Saltine...

    Starving in the first trimester!!!

    This is my second pregnancy, and I've noticed I go through spells where I am ravenously hungry, too. But I've also had all day morning sickness, basically nausea that lasts on and off all day. I'm about 7-8 weeks now. If I am hungry, I eat. It's as simple as that. I just try to keep it...

    Moms to be Check in Dec 24th

    Baby #2 is due some time in late August. I don't remember being this nauseous with my first one, and it's so frustrating! LIke today, it was my day to work out (we alternate on the weekend, hubby and I), but I couldn't do much at all! I started doing SJP, but couldn't make it past the step...

    Moms to be Check in Dec 17th

    Hi everyone. Congratulations to all the moms-to-be here. I just found out I am expecting my second child. I haven't seen my doctor yet, but will on Tuesday. I think I am only about 3-4 weeks along. And I am already having nausea and feeling not quite right. I don't remember it starting so...
