First off I want to say that it is extremely important to take care of yourself while working out when you are pregnant, when you’re not pregnant too, but so-o important when you are.
The most important thing is to listen to your body.
If you feel too hot, dizzy take a break and hydrate.
Always tell your instructor/trainer that you are pregnant and ask for modified versions of the workout.
Don’t EVER do crunches while pregnant. I can’t see it being good for baby, and also what it will do to your already stretched out stomach muscles is not good. Girls you can tear and unproperly train your stomachs muscles when you do crunches while pregnant. You will ruin your previous abs. The result if you do will be protruding abs.
Always stretch. The last thing you would want is to pull something leading to expensive massages and/or bed rest.
Hydrate and eat to make up for your workout.
Wear ultra supportive workout shoes when working out. I am a huge fan of light workout shoes, but not when I am pregnant, I need all the support I can get. {especially with this pregnancy I have experienced some sciatica}
I hope I haven’t scared you from working out, I just want to let you know of some things to be cautious of. And to weigh the pros and cons of certain exercises.
For example I usually run on the treadmill when I am not pregnant. When I am pregnant I take classes or use the treadmill at an incline while walking.
Non-pregnant readers I haven’t forgotten about you. Here is a non maternity workout outfit version of the one I am wearing.
