Work out daily during their pregnancy? I
don't do much right now besides a bunch of
walking during the day and soon it is
going to be too cold for that. Before
getting pregnant I would do an hour of
cardio a day, either jogging outside or on
an exercise bike (well sorta, it's flat on
the ground and your legs stretch out in
front of you) and I want to start doing
that everyday for an hour(bike, not
jogging). Would it be okay? I wouldn't
over do it until I felt dizzy or anything.

My doc told me just to walk.. Heavy
cardio isnt good for most people are are
prego.. Even if you're used to it prior
to pregnancy.
Would it probably be okay then to do an
hour on the bike thingy at a walking
speed?

yes. If your body is used to the
movements, exercise is great while
pregnant. There is no need to give any of
it up. In the 3rd trimester you will need
to slow it down a little and lighten up -
but unless your doctor or your body says
to stop, you are fine.

I was allowed to continue my workouts
during pregnancy but was told during
second trimester to lighten my load
especially since I was loosing weight.
You can do stretches,yoga,pliates,certain
work out machines (bike eliptical ect) I
was just told to eat more of a full diet
(canadas food guide lol) on top of
vitamins and etc iron tablets!

I was told by my doctor that anything that
I did regulerly before pregnancy I could
do during my pregnancy. As long as you
tone it down a bit then it should be fine.
I was told to stop running and just to
walk, I think as long as your body is used
to the movements then it should be fine.
Since I continued to walk during pregnancy
I was able to start running again like I
never stopped.
