So who exercises?

I know that I should be exercising already, and I always 'intend' to, but I just can't get motivated after a full day at work then getting home a 6pm, having a short rest, cooking tea... it just doesn't work?

SO, I was just wondering what you gals do and how often to try keep fit.

With Maddisyn I would walk around the block EVERY night, being my first pregnancy I think I just wanted to do everything 'right'... but this time?? lol

HELP!

Frantic! You are a bad example. hahaha

Its funny though, to think I was so motivated the first time, and I'm due in the same month so i have no excuse with the weather/darknes.

But I do have another excuse!! hehe
Hubby plays rugby and its training twice a week, and I really don't feel comfortable going for a walk in the dark with just me and Maddisyn (4), and when hubby IS home, he either goes for a jog, or it just doesn't happen! lol

I think I should *TRY* go for a short walk this evening... ugh

Hi
Ive been walking 3 times a week. I only do one night after work, and I arrange to meet people to walk with - that way I cant back out or change my mind. I did round the bays last weekend and I really enjoyed it. I used to go to the gym and run so im enjoying the relaxed exercise. I find that it gives me energy, but its really hard get motivated. Im sure i wouldnt do anything if I wasnt committed to doing it with friends.

Before I got pregnant I thought you couldn't do much exercise at all. Then after I did get pregnant - I learnt that most exercise is fine and you should. I have decided that we are much worse of than our mothers. Afterall they could eat what they wanted and wernt meant to do any exercise - best of both worlds!

hehehe. Not at all. I have advertised to find other ladies in my area so I will have someone to walk with. I have no motivation either and I am not working. I congratulate anyone that is working as well as being pregnant. I would love to be working but I moved to a new area and had no chance of finding a job and then got pregnant.

Im hoping there are some other ladies out there that wanna walk in my area. Then I hope that I will get motivated.

Ha Ha. What's excercise? Atm I can barely make it to the bathroom to be sick...

But before I got preg I was training to do the Round the Bays, running 5km 5 times a week, and am hoping to get some walking in later on when I feel better.

The only exercise I did when I was preg with Maya was aquarobics which we both enjoyed - she used to jump around like mad - so might look at that later down the track.

Sorry Trish, I think you have me confused with someone who actually exercises I do believe it's Miss Jess who does more than the Cheesecake 500.....

i can never find the time but i try on the weekends

hahaha the cheesecake 500 tehehehe lol

I just went to the local pools and they have a lane for aqua jogging, just put on the floating thing and off i go as you go down the pool there are boards that tell you all the different things you can do i love it coz i can feel the workout without being sore the next day

Ella loves it to Maya shes always doing flips when i stop lol

i walked all day behind a bar so that was my exxrcice as for now i,m still trying to get mortavie

hahahaha!! i have to say - alot of your replies just cracked me up big time!!! hahahaha

well it seems some of you are motivated, but ALOT of you are just like *me* - can't be bothered!

preggy_sunflower - you made me laugh the most! haha I LOVE your daily routine, best by FAR.

this might sound insane, but when I was carrying maddisyn i did tai bo until I was 6 months!! lol
now i just can't be bothered doing anything but i know how much strength we need in that delivery room and I gotta stick to walking for SOMETHING.
I really don't want to do anything public... and we have a pool but we are going into winter!!

Ugh, I give up. lol
