Fit Pregnancy - WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

It was a Monday morning after a 9-mile run and a weekend that consisted of riding my triathlon bike about 80 miles then lacing up my running shoes for a 3-mile brick run.  A pink plus sign popped up on a $10 stick I peed on.  I was pregnant.  Hurray!  But wait, I thought.  “I’m in really good shape.  Great news.  I’m going into pregnancy fit, strong and healthy but how do I stay that way without harming myself or my baby?”  And that is where my interest in women’s health and wellness emerged with a passion I could not contain.  

Fast forward to just two weeks ago, the three of us had a revolving discussion about pregnancy and exercise and restrictions and medical advice versus opinions versus following your gut and about how to approach the topic on this website without being sued.  So, here is the disclaimer:

DO NOT TAKE OUR ADVICE WITHOUT FIRST DISCUSSING YOUR HEALTH AND PREGNANCY STATUS WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.  WE ARE IN NO way RECOMMENDING OR PRESCRIBING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROTOCOLS.

Now, onto the topic at hand.  We want to hear from you!  What has kept you going during your pregnancy?  What was your favorite workout?  How long were you able to exercise?  Could you exercise without peeing your pants?  Please comment in the section below! We’d love to hear from everyone out there!  And we value what you have to say!

Cheers to a healthy pregnancy and a happy Monday!

Be Well,
MLC
