Dear Cathe,
Hi! I just wanted to say congratulations on your pregnancy. I just discovered that I too am pregnant with my first, 6 weeks. Although this is extremely exciting, I feel very hesitant as to the type and intensity of workouts that I can do now, in fact I'm scared to death. I seem to be getting different advice from everyone I talk to. I have been doing your workouts for about the last 7-8 years, in fact I won't do anyone elses tapes, I just feel that they are a waste of time! I love lifting weights and can't imagine not doing it for the next 9 months. If you could please give me your advice I would really appreciate it. I usually lift the same amount of weight as you recommend on your tapes. Do I just need to lift lighter weights or should I not lift at all?? If I do need to lift lighter, how much lighter? Are any moves considered unsafe during pregnancy? What about abdominal work? Sooo... many questions, your advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!
