Oh my gosh, that's so cute. I love that you're having a special reveal for just your kids. It's really sweet when big siblings get excited for the baby.

Ok, so I'm new to these forums. I just ran 3.5 miles in 1 hour the other night! I hated every second of it. I have been strength training using 21 day fix extreme so running is new to me, but I will do what I need to do for a baby girl. I was wondering, do you think it's ok if I run for 30 min and then walk briskly for 30 min? I had a migraine by the end of that run! I think it was low potassium and sodium mixed with over-doing it!

Or maybe I could do 5 min of running and then 5 min of brisk walking back and forth for 60 min. Thoughts on this? My body just isn't conditioned to run for an hour. Or does it need to be a high heart rate at the same level of intensity the whole time?

I'd love some direction in this! Thank you!

Dmaz4 I think as long as your heart rate is raised for 60 mind that counts, some people walk briskly for 60 mins and that counts, I do a dvd sometimes and part of the hour is my warm up but I count that as it is raising my heart rate. Welcome on board, am struggling with the diet and exercise a bit, this is month four of cardio 6 days per week on the up side my body looks fab and am now a healthy weight for my height! Good luck, when are you attempting? X

This is exactly what I do so I hope it's OK! I go down to the local track and I run 200m, walk 200m for 8km. My heart rate is up the whole time and I'm sweating lots so I figure that's good enough. I asked ages ago and was told that it's not the intensity that matters so much but the length of time you do it (has to be 60 mins).

Thanks so much for the feedback Girlieplease!! I feel so much better about this now! I wore myself out the other night and then felt defeated before even starting last night which resulted in depression and then not jogging at all!! I plan on trying again tonight at a less intense level. I think I'll do the 5 min jog followed by 5 min brisk walk for an hour. That's doable.
I was planning on doing Turbofire (it's cardio kickboxing and dance combined) and then read that that's no good either! So I guess I'll just do plain jogging on a treadmill. lol.

We are having a rather short sway. It will be a total of 5-6 weeks of pretty strict swaying before we attempt in early August. Ha! So we'll see. I am pretty strict on the diet right now. I'm doing pretty good with it I think. When will you be attempting?

[dmaz4]

ok, thank you familymatters!! I appreciate your response!! Will be doing the same thing except on a treadmill!

[Girlieplease]

Dmaz4 what was the issue with turbo cardio and dance?
Am currently cd 12, I usually o around day 12 - 15, though last month it was day 20. Feel my body is gearing up for o, have high fertility on clearblue monitor and an increase in temp. So maybe attempting in a few days. I had a few not great days with the diet Sunday, Monday, Tuesday but exercise been better. Had our first attempt last month but obviously unsuccessful despite good timing, good luck!

[dmaz4]

Girlieplease, i read somewhere on here that any type of kickboxing could raise testosterone! So that ruled out Turbofire.

Also one more question....do you think a 10 min ab workout would be ok. I really really really want a strong core going into this pregnancy this time!

[weeziewoozles]

I've no idea what day I'm on. I've not had a bleed since my transfer didn't stick back in May! I'm hoping to see AF soon so I've some idea of timing!

I ran out of time to exercise today, only fitting in 45mins dancing but then walked as fast as I could for 10/15 mins pushing a buggy to school, so that should be enough. Over-ate a little as I hosted a dinner party of Indian food but I only had a spoonful of my chicken curry "to test It", I mostly ate veggie korma and mushroom saag, chapati, poppadoms and Mango chutney. Plus a spoonful of the chocolate mousse I made :-)
