fit pregnancy

[ 24 yo/f ] I am really struggling accepting my body. I have been in a deep depression about my body and just stopped caring or really putting in effort to fix it because I knew it wouldn’t be immediate results. I haven’t been eating right or taking care of my body like I should. I’m asking for...

I’m 16 weeks. Before getting pregnant I was training for a half marathon. I worked out 4x a week and I stuck to my schedule religiously. Now I just don’t have the energy at all. People kept telling me that the 1st trimester I was going to be exhausted and the 2nd trimester I would get better...

I’m 30 years old, I’m physically fit, I workout 4-5 days a week doing a mix of cardio hiit and strength training. (All prep pregnancy). I’m now 17+2 weeks pregnant and Im sore taking my dog on a 2 mile walk! Im dying when my heart rate is only 132, my hips hurt. what the f?! Lol I know I know...

People keep telling me I will “bounce back” because I’m working out through pregnancy. But I just spoke with someone on my bump group who said she was lean/shredded prior to pregnancy, worked out through pregnancy and after and never ended up bouncing back. So second third whatever time parents...

First pregnancy, clearly no clue what it takes to take care of a 4 week old. My husband has registered for a trail race that will take him out for about 48 hours. One month after my due date. He asked me before he registered and since we’ve both been adamant about keeping our hobbies and fitness...

Typo in title, meant to say NOT knowing, not now* I’ve been doing yoga for the past year now. I took a break for a few months and got back into it about a month after I found out I was pregnant in November. So I was about 8 weeks when I went back for 2 sessions, took January off, then started...

I’ve been a runner/yogi for the past 13 years. I also swear by Jillian Michaels workout routines. I’ve never had any other workout yield the type of results her workouts give me. But with all of that being said, I suffered from extreme morning sickness from week 6-12. There was not a single...

Hi everybody, very, VERY new to this journey and need help. So one of my first symptoms is nausea and smell sensitivity...go me!! My husband and I try to walk/jog 5 nights a week. I don't make it far or fast (think the tank top "I run like a tortoise through peanut butter but I run") but last...

Has anyone purchased the pregnancy workout plan from Andrea at Deliciously Fit n Healthy? Or the postpartum plan? I want to get the pregnancy one but I’m reluctant to buy it without seeing any reviews of the content. Mostly I’m worried it’s just going to be a ton of squats which I can mostly do...

I measured 12% overall at my 36 week ultrasound (36 weeks today) and am freaking out. Can someone talk me down? https://preview.redd.it/ot3noq696nya1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a0189c8b1401ddbea27101329af17859c86992c

For all the c-section moms, how has your return to exercise been going? Are you still sore? I’m 9 weeks pp and very tender about 1-2 inches above the incision and still feel delicate doing gentle exercises like air squats. My pelvic health physio has given me the all clear to gradually start...

Last week I stoped powerlifting at 37 weeks... Just because it became so taxing and so difficult to move I got fed up... Now I want to move for 30-40 minutes - yoga and walk 10 K a day that's it... So far none of this happened... Just don't feel motivated. I need a routine to actually do all...

I know that pregnancy itself does not burn many extra calories during the first trimester. But is it possible that I am burning many more calories during exercise and other activity than before I was pregnant? I ask this because I have not gained any weight yet (9+0) despite some days of eating...

Hey guys! Trigger warning: Bleeding / scary situation. Been following this group since about week 5. I've been strength and HIIT training for about 4 years before pregnancy, everything from OTF, Crossfit, Alexia Clark, BBG and finally about a year of Peloton. I have both a bike and a tread! (I...

I used to work out a lot pre-pregnancy (orangetheory minimum 3-4x week) but am finding it really difficult to motivate myself now (am 11w+2). I try to go to the gym a couple times a week and do 30 mins on the elliptical or treadmill (walking on an incline) and some strength training but that's...

I’m 7 months postpartum (c-section delivery) and I’ve found my hip flexors are INCREDIBLY tight. Before delivery I was able to do a butterfly stretch with my knees touching the ground and now I can barely get them down to 8 inches off the ground. Anyone else experience this? I am working out 5...

To all women staying very active, just wondering how many calories do you burn on a single workout? Im 30 weeks and do an hour daily (45 minutes spinning with resistance and 15 minute strength training or stretching) and my Fitbit marks 250-290 calories. I do try to keep my heart around 140-150...

TW: possible miscarriage So I recently found out I was pregnant but had sudden bleeding and had a scan the next day, which couldn’t confirm the cause. At the scan I was only 5 weeks +2 from my LMP, but measuring 5+6. I’ve a further scan booked 14 days later to confirm if the pregnancy is...

So I’m 9.5 weeks. Did you guys do any sort of educational course online for how to safely lift? Still training normal and practice exhale with exertion. Doing mamastefit of course and was wondering if I needed more (also planning on doing birth ed course) I was tracking macros before aiming for...

I am 17 weeks pregnant and joined my local adult gymnastics team!! C R A Z Y. It's actually gymnastrada, so I'm very happy to have the opportunity to focus primarily on floor work and strength building and not bar work or rings. YET. Now, before anyone starts warning me - one of my coaches...
