Subscriber Question

"I'm very worried about putting on excess weight, can I still do my 1-hour a day workout consisting of Body Combat, Body Attack, dancing and running?"

My Opinion:

The general rule regarding exercise during pregnancy is that you CAN continue to do what you were doing pre-pregnancy as long as you lower
your intensity to a moderate level.

I'm not quite sure what Body Combat and Body Attack classes are, but if they're high impact (jumping) and aggressive (hitting), I'd recommend you trying something else. Exercises like the elliptical
trainer, low impact aerobics, or deep water running (a very tough exercise when you've got the right form!) are better choices.

Pregnancy is not the time to try and improve your fitness level - rather it's the time to maintain your existing level as best you can (remember, you're now working for two!).
