For a few years now Will and I have been attending 5:45 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday classes at Lifetime Fitness. A combination of cardio and strength training, it supplements the additional cardio work we do during the week. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't miss a beat - over the years I've seen 4 or 5 fellow attendees' bellies grow to 8 lb. baby proportions - and continued the routine.Imagine my amusement when, after telling our favorite instructor (now friend) Maria that I was expecting, she divulged that she was as well! With baby number two. I knew I would be in good company, and have plenty of support when crunches were no longer an option. Instead of thinking about Thursday's class as "No Limits Circuit," I've dubbed it "No Limits Pregnancy." I fully believe that attending has contributed to my easy pregnancy and general feeling of well-being. Thanks, Maria!
BTW - Maria is also author of a great children's book - check it out: Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun: Having the Courage to Be Who You Are.
