@SimpelA Also, weight gain recommendations are 25-35 pounds for most women…however, a very healthy pregnancy with an active mom probably won’t see that much weight gained.
@dstojke You can do pelvic rocks on all fours and neck range of motion. Check out my web site for a video specific for these exercises., it’s Educated Pregnancy. com
Not sure why anyone would suggest you stop taking care of yourself during the crucial 1st trimester, unless there is a specific health concern. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout your entire pregnancy; the 1st trimester is most important because that’s when the majority of baby’s development occurs. 3rd trimester is mainly a growth period for the baby and finalization of processes and connections, but early pregnancy is when brain, spine and body systems are formed.
@dundermamma Working on some new videos for you this week. Thanks for joining me.
And please, please make some more yoga videos! Yours is great but some variation would be fun. Bought two pregnancy yoga videos with “very experienced pregnancy yoga instructors” who amongst other things think that the “downward facing dog” somehow is a good excercise for someone with a heavy baby bump. I almost fell on my face!! Can You please make another video for moms to be who suffer from hot summer weather?
Thank You so very much!
This is better than any video I bought! I´m in my 34th week, have been doing Your excercises almost daily for three months and feel great!
I´ve less back pain, less pain from my sacroiliacal joints and have actually gained muscle mass! I now look very pregnant but also very fit!! Safe excercises without risking vena cava syndrome, falling on your face due to imbalance or hurting yourself due to too heavy strain on untrained muscles. Keep it up Dr Cathy! Post some more!
hi doctor .. this is my first pregnancy and i used to exercise everyday before i got pregnant .. but my doctor told me to stop .. at least for the first 12 weeks .. even stop walking! … and im feeling devastated .. i just cant hold my self .. so is it safe to do these exercises before i complete my first trimester ? + another Q .. what is the minimum weight i should at least gain during pregnancy for a healthy baby? is it true it has to be 9 KG .. at least?
NICE BUTT
Hi I have a question is there any exercises i can do for my back and neck while pregnant? I also have an exercise ball too.
my first child i’m having and im experiencing bad back and neck pain any exercises i can do i also have a exercise ball too?
@doctorcathy Yeah, I had her already but next time I have a baby, I’m going to continue exercising (exactly what my trainer told me to do).
@nchollywood Sounds to me like you need to seek out a second opinion with a doctor who is current on the research and the true defintion of “health”.
@doctorcathy I was really fit too and they were only 5 lb weights.
@th1441Atgirl Yes, you can also do these exercises without weights and just contract your muscles and use your body’s own resistance. Lunges can also be done without weights; for many people, their own body weight gives them enough of a workout as their belly grows.
@nchollywood Wow, really? I can’t imagine why…
@LaNenaSmiley Yes, begin with some easy exercises and progress at a rate that’s comfortable for you. You could try the following videos I’ve posted: warm up, cardio abs, lower body workout, yoga and relaxing full body stretch. You may want to try one video per day for the first 2 weeks and see how you feel before increasing your workout. Of course, you can add a walk into your schedule every day as well.
@doctorcathy right!I love you!
hi! thanks for the useful video. i d like to ask, is it ok if i perform these exercises using elastic bands in stead of weights? (except for the lunges of course).
thanx in advance
@verdemanthe1 Most importantly, you need to always use good form while exercising to minimize any strain or damage to your joints. Using too light of a weight with bad form is almost as bad as using too heavy of a weight with bad form. Weight training done properly is extremely effective at increasing lean muscle mass, raising metabolism, maintaining a healthy weight and keeping your bones strong.
@Longbellytv I think I was about 39 weeks and I went to 42 1/2 weeks. Yes, I worked out right up till the end.
My doctor told me to stop lifting my weights when I got pregnant
I’m five moths pregnant, it’s ok to start exercising ?
how far gone are you in this video?
@candaceh8 light weight and high reps will give you far better results and you wont get tore up joints like mine (im 26 and everything pops and aches im all arthritisy used to lift a lot high weight for football) calisthenics is the only healthy way to work out in my opinion do not push it with weights they do more harm then good and definately dont ignore warning signs if it hurts back off, lifting a 5lb dumbell 1000 times will give you much more benefit then a 100lb dumbell 20 times
haha it’s so funny to watch this
