#fitpregnancy Can you workout while pregnant?

Yes working out while pregnant is amazing and it is actually recomended to do at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day.  As long as you were already engaged in an exercise program it is ok to continue to workout in moderation. There are a few pregnancy guidelines

1. Make sure to warm up and cool down
2. Don't let your heart rate exceed 140 beats per minute 
3. Stay hydrated, make sure you take water breaks and avoid the heat
4. During the second and third trimesters, avoid lying on your back (it decreases air flow to the uterus).

Its #workoutwednesday and we want to introduce you to our client Sam Bangs. Sam is 6 1/2 months pregnant and even though she is deep into her pregnancy she still finds the time and energy to kick butt in class. Being pregnant puts added weight and pressure on the lower back, knees, and ankles. Thankfully she found that doing TRX in the sand is a great way to minimize pressure on the joints while working out. Tag your pregnant friends who would be interested in getting a good workout before that baby comes. #fitpregnancy #pregnant #26weeks#babyonboard #exercise #3rdtrimester #babybump#prenatal #preggo #preggers check out her blog about her #fitpregnancy experiece
