Whats a Good Beginning Fitness Routine for Pregnancy?
Dear Fitness Expert, I am 26 years old and 36 weeks pregnant with my first. I was about 25 pounds overweight prior to the pregnancy, and while I realize that I’ll be losing quite a bit through delivery and the subsequent few weeks just due to natural processes, I feel absolutely enormous now! I would really like to start a great fitness routine with the baby once I’m feeling recovered from the delivery, but I can’t afford to join a gym. I’m already doing fairly well with my eating habits (I don’t want to call it a diet, since I don’t want it to be a temporary thing). I feel confident that by sticking to the new eating routine after delivery, I’ll be on the right track — but weight loss isn’t my only goal. I come from a family where eating disorders abound, and the women in my family are excessively focused on the number on the scale rather than how they feel. I won’t go into that in detail, but please understand that to me, getting in shape is much more important that being a size 4.
