Hi, I am preggers with my first baby! I'm currently only 9.5 weeks. Before I got pregnant I exercised regularly (4 to 5 times a week) in the morning, doing a lot of weight lifting and high intensity training. Based on the advice of my doctor I've decided to stop all exercise during my first trimester - but I am dying to get back to exercising in my second trimester.
I really want to carry on weight training, etc, but understand that I would of course need to do it with some modifications - no more heavy weights, with the goal of simply trying to maintain my fitness rather than to push myself.
I've been doing a lot of research into prenatal fitness classes in Hong Kong, but all I can find are Yoga and Pilates prenatal classes. Many of them are in the middle of the day (like at 11:30 a.m.) - but I work full time so it's impossible for me to make those classes.
Does anyone have any prenatal exercise classes they can recommend, which are not Yoga or Pilates? Or is there any other pregnant mamas out there who have previously done weight and HIIT training, interested in forming a small private training session with me in the mornings?
