Okay, this may seem like a totally daft question, but what does HR stand for? I've decided as long as I keep exercising and make sure I make good choices, food-wise, I should be okay. I just want to be "cute" pregnant, not huge pregnant. I weighed more when I first got pregnant with my 3 1/2 year old, and I gained on the high end of healthy weight gain for pregnancy. (A lot of creme brulee went into that! ) So I'm hoping to stay on the lower end of healthy weight gain and maybe overall I'll weigh less after the pregnancy and lose the weight easier? So my goal is to maintain my weight for the first tri-mester. Does anyone know good exercises for pregnancy? I'm having problems with my IT band, so running is out right now anyways. I'm walking for cardio. I hate the trainer, but I may have to grit my teeth and go with it, until I'm too big to do it comfortably. With the weather here, there's no riding now (I'm too wimpy! It's freezing!).....which means I won't be riding for.....probably 15 months!!! Because by the time the baby is born, the weather will start getting too cold again to ride. Wow, didn't think about that before. What I'm also wondering about is what sort of strength training is okay or not. Anyone have some great things they did while pregnant to stay healthy? Okay, this is now a very rambling message. Thanks for all your feedback everyone!
