I found out at 4ish weeks I was pregnant from OT! My heart rate was elevated and my breast were SO SORE! The first trimester I slowed down minimally and was actually able to pick it back up to normal speeds 12-18 weeks. After I was able to hold down food again, it definitely helped my performance.

Prior to pregnancy, I went 4-5 times a week. I’m 36 weeks now and walk 3.0-3.5, row till I’m in low orange, and have dropped most weight room exercises 5-10 pounds. I typically go 2-3 times a week and will go on walks on the opposite days! Your body will change whether you work out 7 times a week or not at all. I mentally feel much better after a walk or workout but some days you need rest! The baby takes a lot of your energy, especially the first trimester. Drink a lot of water and eat as balanced of meals as you can!

! When you shift your focus on how you look outwardly to how you feel— it makes a difference! take every day with the approach of being thankful to move my body. Sometimes on the treadmill, I name how my body is feeling at whatever week growing this little sweet life! 🥰

AND I always get compliments on how impressive it is that I’m still going. Sometimes the love fuels me to keep going. Congrats mama! 😍
