Workout Video's
Posted: 05-10-07 20:43pm

Does anyone have some good suggestions or recommend a video to use for exercise while pregnant? I can't do my regular routine at the gym anymore and was thinking of buying a couple of workout dvd's, but I don't know if they really help, or if they are just a waste?!
I saw a few Yoga / Strectching and low impact cardio one's for pregnancy. Just thought I'd get your thoughts!
I swim now, but can't always make it to the pool, so I thought some form of exercise is better than nothing!
Thanks!

I saw a dvd "pregnancy yoga for dummies" I actually want to try it when I become pregnant. You could probably get it off ebay pretty cheap. But I've never tried or known anyone to use it, just an idea.

I love the idea of yoga, I think because it is more stretching techniques it will really help, it will also help you with your breathing as well...I would say go for it, just as long as you are comfortable and dont feel like you are working too hard or straining too much...just my thought. Good luck with finding a good pregnancy/workout routine Smile

Holy crap!!! Way to go grandma Wink If I tried to do the splits now, I think I would break something permanently......nevermind if trying to stand on my head!!!!!! Shocked
Thanks girls....I was thinking Yoga would be good too. I've seen a few different dvd's....jjst don't know which one to get. If I get a good one and really like it, I will share the name of it with you and how it is!
