Most of my friends are no longer showing up in yoga (due to having their babies) and I was the most, um, maturely pregnant lady in class this morning by four weeks! The one perk was that my mom is now in town so I got to bring her along like I’ve seen so many [...]

luxuriating in the feel of water

I absorbed the final few laps of my swim today as if they would be the last for a while. Who knows at this point?? Breathing has become remarkably easy now that Baby isn’t taking up all of my lung space and although my 1000 yds seemed to take a long time, I swam each [...]
jiggle butt

Yesterday in yoga I realized my rear end had become jiggly. This is something I’ve worked hard to avoid my entire adult life and a quality my yoga teacher praises as being essential for childbirth. Well, looks like my body is ready for having this baby! In every class we do juicy hips- hip circles, [...]
not just eating

I haven’t written for almost a week but despite how it might appear on my FB page, I have been doing more than just eating! I continue to love the water even though being on land isn’t horrible right now since hip stopped hurting and my back isn’t usually tired until the evening. Perhaps I’m [...]
water rockets

We did a new exercise in the prenatal water class this morning. Along with the usual across the pool and stationary drills, we added water rockets. No, that’s not the technical name, just what I’ve labeled it for sharing purposes! We had water belts on and lined up along the wall in the deep end. [...]
easing back pain
Posted in water aerobics, tagged Prenatal water running JCC on January 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Everything I read says back pain is an inevitable side effect of being pregnant. Coming off the past couple years of PT for slipped and torn discs in my lower lumbar, I’ve been pleasantly surprised during most of my pregnancy that my back pain has actually diminished. Unfortunately it does flare up occasionally and, unlike [...]
a day of decadence

I went to my usual prenatal water class this morning and we had a different sub than I’ve seen so far. She encouraged us to use webbed swim gloves (like a wetsuit for hands!) and beside the usual crossing back and forth across the pool running, biking and skiing, we did quite a few arm [...]
$55 workout and an extra walk

What a morning! I can only say that I hope the day gets less annoying from here. I went to the 9am water class and that was fabulous. There was only one other girl in class this morning and we hit it off. She is a co-owner of Mighty Pilates and offered me a free class! [...]
winded in the water

I’m home and back into my regular workout routine again. I joined my friends for our prenatal water running class and worked hard! I don’t know if it’s because I’m still tired from traveling, just further along in my pregnancy, or because I talked through the entire class, but the workout felt more difficult than [...]
more water

Today’s water class really got my heart pumping. We had another substitute teacher but this one was way better than last week’s! We did all kinds of one-legged core stabilizing moves and there was a good mix of traveling and stationary exercises. I was amused to realized I was grunting occasionally when my body wouldn’t [...]
