Zumba and pregnancy

Hi girls,

Is it safe to do Zumba when pregnant?

I really want to start but has just found out I'm pregnant, not sure what to do

Isadora has done it. Hopefully she will pop in and let you know.

it's pretty full on, especially if you're not a big excerciser already. i'd probably give it a miss, but that's just me.

If you weren't doing it (or something equivilant) before it's advisable not to start while pregnant :)

Noooo. I don't think so, It's really really full on.

I did it up until 22 weeks. It was fine. It is as full on as you make it. I just did the low option movements. When they do a jumping kind of movement, I just stepped it out. Just make sure to drink plenty of water, not get your heart rate going too much and just take it easy. I never got to the point where I was red in the face or puffed out like the other girls, simply because I did the low options. It was great fun! I only stopped because I did start to get uncomfortable as my tummy got bigger. But thats just me, if you can do it for longer theres no problem with doing zumba during pregnancy.
