Working out during Pregnancy

Most of you know that I am 15 weeks pregnant.  Just heading into my 2nd trimester!  I have been getting a lot of people asking me how my workouts are changing or will change. Here is the deal, if you have been working out prior to getting pregnant, then keep on moving that body.  The key is to bring it down a notch.  Make sure you are going more low impact.  Limit the plyometric movements and the bouncing.  Keep your feet on the floor does not mean you can't get your sweat on.  Their are so many programs out there to keep you inshape during your pregnancy. 

For those of you who are pregnant, but have not worked out prior to the pregnancy, I would stick with extremely low impact movements.  The best suggestion I have for you is to take walks.  You do not want to go crazy working out because of fear that you will gain too much weight.  You could cause a miscarriage.  You just have to stay healthy and keep that baby healthy. 

A great suggestion for both groups...the athlete and the non-athlete is Yoga.
I will be getting my groove on with Yoga Booty Ballet!  It is low impact and tones the core, hips and thighs.  All the areas that will help push that baby out.  :-)  Plus, it will calm you and your baby.  Take a look!

All in all, rest when you feel you need to, eat what you can, but when you get back to normal after the nausea, then try and eat healthy.  Don't let pregnancy be an excuse to eat whatever.  Remember, what goes in your mouth is going to the baby too.  Try eating every 2-3 hours.
Let me know if you have any questions.  I would love to help!!!
