I just broke through the half-way point of my second pregnancy - woo hoo!! We are expecting a little boy this summer and have an almost 3 year old daughter.
With my first pregnancy I taught group fitness classes right through my third trimester and I plan on doing the same this time around. At least this way I'm forced to show up at the gym on time and move around a bit. When I get there on my own, however, it becomes quite tempting to stroll on the treadmill at a lovely 2.6 while watching Rachael Ray for barely 20 minutes and then calling it a day. But after gaining nearly 75 lbs with my first bundle of joy (credited to my love of hot fudge sundaes and my complete loss of self-control for nine months), I am constantly reminding myself that exercising, not faking it, is best for me AND my baby.
Check out my article on what you CAN, CAN'T, SHOULD, & SHOULDN'T do at the gym when you're expecting.
