Is it okay..

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and have been going for long walks (5-6 kms) daily and in two parts. Really want to go to the gym although but people have been asking me not to risk it. Thoughts?

Talk to your OB but I don’t see why not. People go to the gym up until they’re 9months pregnant

Oh yes. I’ve people telling me not to only for the 1st trimester. After that I guess I can go but honestly I want to start being active from as early as I can.

I worked out throughout both pregnancies, the suggestion is to not start anything new (like don’t begin to train for a marathon if you’ve never run before lol) and to make sure you stay cool,hydrated, and able to hold a conversation throughout (so skip HIIT for now). Avoid anything that could potentially bump your belly like kickboxing. Weightlifting (you’ll need to modify some exercises to make it bump safe as your center of balance will shift as baby grows) and walking are excellent during pregnancy

@Emiline thank you so much! 🫶🏻
