Hi Cathe,
I am 13 weeks pregnant and want to resume my normal active lifestyle. Before baby, I would workout up to 2 hours a day. I know...a bit extreme but I love weights and cardio equally as much I kept up my activity until I reached about 7 weeks and that's when everything fell apart. I was so sick and tired, the thoughts of working out didn't even exsist. I think I managed 4 workouts in the last few weeks.
I've hit the 12 week mark and have started feeling much better and my energy is returning and I wanna start my workouts again. The last time I was pregnant I gained 50 lbs. Even though it only took me 4 months to get this weight off again, I really don't want to go down that same path. I am hoping working out while I can, will control some of the weight gain.
I was wondering what you would suggest...or what did you do? I have done 3 workouts in a row now:
Thurs: should,chest,back and 30 mins jog/walk
Fri: A circuit of jog/walk/bike and legs ( 1 hour)
Sat: bics, tris and 30 min jog/walk
A was a big runner before and this is what I enjoy doing the most.
Thanks for your time. I know that listening to my body and body temp is most important right now but I also want to make the most of an hour a day.
