Poppy Seed

We are officially 4 weeks pregnant! 


As I've mentioned I really enjoy being healthy and living a very active lifestyle, especially fitness and working out.  So as you can imagine I have so many questions about what I can and can't do.  I don't want to hurt or loss our baby.  I am going to post my Pregnancy workouts and modifications so you can follow along.  The first few weeks will be very similar to my pre-baby routine but as I get to the second and third trimester it will chance a lot. 

We found out on Feb. 1st which was a friday.  So here is my workout routine for Saturday and Sunday;

Saturday:
Shoulders and Cardio

Should Press with 20 Pound dumbbells (3 Sets / 12 Reps)
Lateral cable Flies (3 Sets / 12 Reps)
Front Raises on Cable (3 Sets / 12 Reps)
Barbell Upright Row with 45 Pounds (4 Sets / 10 Reps)
Cable Reverse Fly (3 Sets / 12 Reps)

20 Minutes on Elliptical - 2 minutes low intensity and 2 minutes high intensity

Sunday:

3 mile hill run with my lab
Floor crunches at home

Since I found out I was pregnant I have taken it down a notch.  Like I said, I don't want to hurt our baby.  My body is used to working out so I am not going to stop.  Plus I read that is good for your body to keep a regular exercise routine while pregnant.  I am going to consult my OBGYN when we go on March 5th.  I have so many questions about exercise and what is safe. 


Week - 4
Starting Weight - 117.2 Pounds
