If you are super fit when you become pregnant and you dont have any risk factors then there is zero reason to stop exercising.

Kayla obviously know what is is safe for her to do. As is stated in the article you can usually keep doing what you were doing prior to pregnancy – within reason. Your body should alert you when you need to slow down. You need to be aware of that and be sensible.

Its better for you and the baby to exercise but shouldnt be too strenuous. But better to talk to a physio than follow an online program, its easy to hurt yourself.

I did not exercise one bit… oh, except for throwing up into a bucket 24/7. I was unable to get off the couch, let alone do anything else. But I would think a professional exerciser would know her limits. So let her do what she wants to do.

You just need to take care and not overdo it.

Everyone needs to mind their own business. She is obviously being sensible and you can clearly see she is not doing heavy weights or strenuous workouts on her blogs

It sounds like she is being sensible and doing everything right.

she said she’s modified her exercises for the safety of her baby, so obviously being sensible about it all.

I kept up my regular gym workout out until 6 months with my first and only 3 months with my second due to complications.

If you continue to do all that you did prior to becoming pregnant there is no problem, in fact you will have an easier birth. The problem arises when you start doing exercises you have never done before when you are pregnant.

I am a group fitness instructor & I exercised a lot through my 5 pregnancies. I was teaching step classes up to 4 weeks before & in the gym the day before I gave birth every time.

She was fit prior so shouldn’t be a shock to her body.

The main thing is that she’s feeling good mentally and physically good

You do what you body tells you, someone who is already involved in a fitness routine before pregnancy could probably handle a bit more than say me who isn’t into fitness at all

I think she’s right. A little caution and it should be fine.

Exercise is normal at all stages – pregnant and not pregnant.

  I have friends that are athletes and they continued their activities through pregnancy.

She looks fab and she would know what she is doing in regards to her pregnancy!

I had a physically demanding job up until 35 weeks and I was walking 2km a day or more right up to the day my waters broke. I think if you are already active you can keep going the way you are with doctors advice you may just have to modify the way you do things and the intensity

The “critics” aka keyboard warriors are just jealous that their body doesn’t look that fabulous without being pregnant. You go girl!

I’m sure that she is doing her workouts safely for herself and her baby. She is an expert int hese types of things so people need to back off and respect her right to do as she pleases for her body.

People who say you shouldn’t exercise while pregnant are wrong. You absolutely should keep active. If you weren’t exercising before pregnancy then you obviously shouldn’t go and take up high impact exercise all of a sudden, but you should at least be walking and doing light weights or body weight exercise.
