[3427545398348077607_952_5]

What is a good amount to work out ? i am very active and have been. I use to work out 5-6 times a week for two hrs mostly weight lifting with 3 times a week cardio. I know now i cant do that but what is a good amount ? I am almost 20 weeks and have been walking on treadmill on incline watching my heartrate and doing a bit of strength stuff.. any suggestions ? Good amount of days to do ? or any workout suggestions ?

Thanks

well my doctors have said you can continue to do anything you have been doing before you got pregnant just not lifting too much weights. I did zumba and yoga. yoga is amazing!!! also did akkot of treadmill walking & swimming is the best pregnancy excersize there are even little swimming aerobics classes you can take. I would def recommend swimming and prenatal yoga. and continue with what you have already been doing. just dont do more than your body can handle. listen to your body.

Well actually if u were that active u should be able to continue as long as your body was use to it but of course talk to your dr before.

I know that you can continue anything as long as you stay away from jumping/jostling exercises and bending in half or laying on your stomach types of lifting/exercises after a certain point in pregnancy... Not quite sure when though.

yea i stopped lifting really heavy.. i usually squat really heavy and other things but ive stopped and doing alternative things. I just wanna keep some strength . Due to.my " bmi " is high according to my height. But its really because of my muscle.. imma have to talk to my dr. Because although my weight is higher i dont even look much different since ive been working out during the pregnancy .
