Work it girl!

As many of you know, I love to workout. So with Butterbean, I've really been trying to keep up my exercise routines, but don't worry I'm modifying a lot and I listen to my body.

These days, I'm running at snail speed and lately I'm finding my belly is weighing me down. I've still been able to instruct boot camp, but those days may be coming to an end, since so many of the exercises are getting harder and harder for me. I've also been doing CrossFit workouts, with my boot camp group. These workouts are incredible and really work your strength and endurance. Again don't worry, I modify anything that's too hard or that I shouldn't be doing. Here's Mama in action Monday night :)

Now I'm no medical professional, but all I can say is that exercising has really made this pregnancy easy (so far, talk to me in a few weeks!). I have honestly felt great, actually fantastic and I really attribute it to exercising. Sadly there isn't enough information about exercising and pregnancy. Even more there is so much contradicting information - don't get your heart rate over 140 bpm or on the other end you can do anything you did before you were pregnant. It can really drive a pregnant woman mad - trust me I was one of those women for a while! I have taken the stance, that as long as I feel good and it doesn't hurt me or Butterbean, I'm doing it. I'll keep you posted on my workouts as we get closer to the end :)
