6 mnths preg and gaining

Which is why I said to stay active. :)

But training to lose fat or gain muscle is not a smart idea during PG. PG is not a time to try to reshape your body.
 
Don't get me wrong, i would never compromise my little one, I'm not trying to loose any weight, just keep it all from spreading to the bottom part of my body.
The women in my family tend to get the Pear shape after children i just thought i could prevent that from happening.
I do stay active, but not enough due to weather(too hot) i was just looking for any stretching or light trianing that anyone might reccomend.
My first PG was a very healthy one, I was just extremly depressed about the weight gain, during and after.
 
Well, you can do things like lunges, squats - even without weight - at home. Just watch the balance issue that will come into play. You might need to do stationary lunges with one hand on a wall instead of walking lunges. Squats also are fine - with or without weight. If you were not doing squats before PG, then I would stick with no weight. You can even get a stability ball and do wall squats.

Some of it is inevitable. You are seriously fighting genetics here. Genetics CAN be fought, but it is very hard when PG because you have so many limitations on what you can do and what you can/cannot eat. If I were you (and in a way, I am), I would stick with going on walks, doing lunges and squats at home, some Pre-Natal Yoga or Pilates, and do some light (NOT vigorous) stretching. Do something everyday, even if it is only 10 minutes of activity.

As far as food, I know you know to eat balanced diet. You obviously cannot eat a clean BB-style diet, but you CAN limit processed foods. Stick with fresh, whole foods. Heavy on the fruits and veggies, complex carbs, moderate protein and healthy fats.
 
thank you.. i'm anxious to try the yoga/pilates for maternity
that is if my 16mnth old will let me do them without pushing me over
 
I did the Kathy Smith pregnancy workout when I was pregnant with my daughter. It's a little cheesy (as most home video workouts are), but it at least gave me some type of plan/program to follow. It's a nice light workout but it does get you moving and gives you some nice stretching exercises (it will also keep you out of the heat). Good luck and keep us posted...
 
I just went out and looked and she (Kathy Smith) also has a prenatal Yoga workout. That one may be a little better since the one I did is probably pretty outdated by now. Maybe read some reviews online for different workouts and she if you find one that you think you will like.
