My pregnancy fitness so far 🏋🏼♀️🤰🏼👶🏼 It was one of my goals when I found out I was pregnant to stay as active as I could. I wanted to stay as healthy as possible and to feel my best as pregnancy is hard both mentally and physically.
Some info on my fitness routine while pregnant;
✔️ I’ve reduced the weight I’m lifting to 60%-70% of what I was doing pre pregnancy
✔️ I’ve reduced the weight training volume I’m doing in a week
✔️ I’ve reduced by step goal to 8,000 a day (I still don’t hit this some days)
✔️ I’ve continued with compound exercises (deadlift, squat, shoulder press, lunges, RDL’s)
✔️ I have ‘cardio’ days where I do 30-60 mins on a cross trainer or stationary bike
✔️ I wear a MyZone heart rate monitor to ensure I stay in a “safe” zone ♥️ Available to buy from @tjreidhealthandfitness
✔️ I train once a week with a qualified PT @tjreidhealthandfitness and I have a personalised programme I do on days I am training alone🤰🏼
✔️ I eat the recommended amount of calories (and protein) daily to fuel myself and the baby.
✔️ I try eat as much whole foods as I can to give me energy
✔️ I drink at least 1.5L-2L of water daily
✔️ I allow for foods I enjoy in my diet (chocolate and salty snacks🍫)
✔️ I take a pregnancy multivitamin @proceive
✔️ I try get as much sleep as I can (it is getting harder to get quality sleep and recovery as the weeks go by 😅🤰🏼🥱)
All that said, pregnancy is like a rollercoaster and how I’m going to feel is so unpredictable. There are definitely days / weeks when I am EXHAUSTED with no motivation to move, exercise or eat well 🤷🏼♀️
My approach here is to rest, reset and go again 🚀 We’re all just doing our best ☺️👶🏼🤰🏼
