Good morning to all! This is not a typical post, but a request post. I have received several emails from people requesting that I post a "bare belly" info blog entry for those that do not have Instagram where I post most all of my fitness pictures :) (@msjonez10). so this post is for anyone curious on my fitness journey so far & for some fun belly pictures!
2 weekends ago I had the awesome privilege of taking a trip to Dallas & experiencing a fun type of maternity shoot. This was a body painting shoot & I really love how all the pictures came out. It was totally out of my comfort zone but I have been trying to really embrace these last few months of being pregnant & my changing body. Here are a couple pictures from the shoot.
So how is fitness these days? Well....currently here are the statistics
Weight gain: +20 pounds
Thighs: +1 inch since pre-pregnancy
Hips: +5 inches since pre-pregnancy
Waist: +7 inches since pre-pregnancy
Running: 2 times per week, 3 miles
Walking: 2-3 times per week, 3 miles
Weight lifting: 2-3 times per week
Favorite workout routine:
5 minute stretch
1 mile warm up
5 sets of 20:
-Squats with medicine ball overhead
-bicep curls
-front raises
-calf raises
-side raises
-Left side leg raises
-hammer curls
-Right side leg raises
-overhead tricep extension
-walking lunges
-left side oblique crunches
-right side oblique crunches
2 mile jog
1 mile slow walk cool down
10 minute stretch
My speed has for sure slowed down. My miles are about 14 minutes per mile & my weights have decreased significantly. I become a lot more out of breath than I used to pre-pregnancy, but my heart rate has been very good at remaining steady throughout my workouts.
My pregnancy fitness advice:
1. Take your time
2. Don't give up
3. Stay hydrated
4. Elevate your feet after!
5. Listen to your body
