This was a very light week! Tues. Cathe Bodymax (Lower and Upper Strength portions) Sat. Cathe Push Pull Upper and Lower

I'm glad the ultrasound went well! I found out today I get my second ultrasound in 4-5 weeks, and I can't wait to see him. My doctor told me today that the baby was already head down, with his feet up on my left side. Now I know why my ribs there have been aching!!!:P Jennifer V 28 weeks

I didn't need to drink extra water when I had my ultrasound at 19 weeks. Have a fun time, Sunnydelight! Although I do recommend drinking a little bit of something just before you go in, as it gets the baby more active so you can see all the crazy movement. Enjoy it! Jennifer V

Hi everyone! As of today I begin my third trimester. Whoohoo! However, my cardio is really modified now; when I tried Step Fit Saturday, whether on a 4-inch step or just on the floor, the music tempo was just too fast for my ackward body. Farewell to those workouts! Sigh... I'll miss those...

Hi Sandra! To modify I just didn't do IMAX or BC! :P (Cheating!) I wanted to do some of Cathe's rotation though. I basically use one riser, don't jump, and limit my turning if it's a movement that's just too quick for my body. I really miss doing the workouts intensely- I miss the...

Hi everyone! I'm going through a bad cold that's left me with laryngitis. I feel sorry for the baby, who has to bounce around everytime I cough. Otherwise, the pregnancy is going very well. Here's my workout week last week: Mon. Cathe CTX Upper Strength Tues. Cathe KPC 40 min. Wed...

Hi Sunnydelite! I'm doing the workout (I'm at 26 weeks), but to keep my heartrate from going into overdrive and for comfort's sake I do the workout without all the extra weight. I've gained 25 pounds in my pregnancy so far, and to be honest, that's the weight on the barbell I used for squats...

Hi! Apart from yoga tapes, I haven't tried any specific to pregnancy. If anyone has tried Kathy Smith's Pregnancy Workout, please tell us how it is. It might be just the ticket for me in my last semester. Right now, I'm just modifying my regular workouts (mostly Cathe). I bought the Basic...

Hi everyone! Imani, I too am feeling my little one move and kick a lot too now. Nothing uncomfortable yet though. Jen, did you only get a week off school? We get two weeks of holiday, and that's standard here, so I have this week off as well. However, I am working on report card...

Hi Wendy! I think the CTX series will be great post-pregnancy too. I tried the All-Step workout, minus the step 2 days ago, and found the moves easy to modify, but the pace of the music was a bit too fast. I won't be able to do it in the last trimester, I don't think. But hey, everyone's...

Congratulations! I hope you have lots of support around you as you heal and rest (rest? with twins?) ;-) Happy New Year!:+ Jennifer V.

Hi Janette! I always listened to my body pre-pregnancy, letting it decide when I push too hard, and when to kick things up. Now with my pregnancy, I can never kick things up a notch, and I find it very frustrating. What helps me is to imagine how I'd feel in my pregnancy without being fit...

Congratulations, Wendy! I was totally fascinated with watching our little one up on that screen. I can now feel the kicks my baby makes, so hold on- you will too! Jennifer V 24 weeks

Hi everyone! Just got back into town late last night, and apart from a few short walks in absolutely freezing weather, I didn't workout at all in the last four days. Yes, I did indulge in food, but I do that every year and it doesn't kill me! I was committed to my workouts prior to X-mas...

Wendy, In Body Fusion I do lunges, or just tap my foot front and back in time with their scissors. It depends on my energy level!

Congratulations on your baby girl,Imani! I'm glad everything is fine. I've been feeling good this week, and my belly has started to really expand above my bellybutton now. One of my grade one students kissed my belly as she walked by me today- no warning, and it made me smile. They are...

Good deal, Wendy! Due to the style, you'll probably be able to wear your peasant blouse post pregnancy too! I am tempted to go out to the madness of the malls this time of year to look for last minute deals on outfits! Jennifer V 23 weeks
