Hi Ladies,

I am so, so excited to be here, am PG with #1 after TTC for about 14 months.

I was just wondering what everyone else in the first tri is doing exercise wise.

A bit of background... I am a group fitness instructor (am pretty fit) and am doing 3 body pump classes per week (dropped from 5-6). I am also walking (dropped my running and body attack classes). I plan on doing PG yoga from the second trimester and don't plan on taking up new exercise whilst pg.

I know they used to say you can't get your hr above 140bpm, but I believe this is now redundant and there is no limit on hr as long as you are not exerting yourself too much i.e. excessive sweating, breathlessness, dizzy etc.

Am curious to know your thoughts on exercise and how much you are doing / plan to do.
