Rachel S. Can you help me with a question? I'm not pregnant yet but planning on TTC next summer. I am a member of my local running club and i'm worried that when I do eventually get pregnant I will need to give it up. It's the only form of exercise I really enjoy and at the moment i'm running about 15-20 miles a week (3 x 5 miles approx). It's not just the health benefits, I really enjoy the social aspect of running in a group too and i don't want to lose it.

My doctor said the advice i'd get is mixed. Personally she said she would would give it up during pregnancy and take up swimming instead but she said plenty of doctors would disagree and encourage me to keep it up but not take it easier (i.e. no races, distance challenges etc).

Do you have any advice?

Are you familiar with PCOD?
If you are I was wondering what kind of regimen you suggest in the gym?

My advice to you would be not to give it up. I did exactly what i do now when i was pregnant: 3-5 classes a day, I would say that if your body is used to exercise then it is perfectly safe to continue.
I read a book called Exercising through your Pregnancy by James Clapp and it was great, so if you are concerned read that as it goes through all the benefits and studies etc.

Hi,
My advive start off slowly, weight loss and fitness isn't a quick thing to acheive, but you can do it. Start off by doing 20 mins of exercise three times a week, be that walking, cycling etc and keep that up for a month or two and then increase time. Cardio is the best form of fitness to lose weight.

Hi i have PCOS and i'm about 13st 5lbs and i really want to lose weight. i did slimming world at the beginning of the year and i lost over a stone but i found it very expensive.

what other things could i do to help with losing weight and exercise?

xx

 

[Faythe]

How on earth do you keep the weight off?

Last year I lost over a stone and went from a size 12 to almost a size 10. I didn't rapidly lose it. This was all achieved from dedicated gym work 5 days a week. I took a week off to go away and in that week I still ate healthily but piled the weight back on!

Ever since I cannot motivate myself to excercise because I feel like it'll just go back on if I miss a few days.

Any tips? x

Hello

I had my LO last january and have been working hard to lose weight - im now just under nine stone which is my target however im working on toning up. So i go to the gym 3 times a week for an hour. I do 30 mins cardio and then 30 mins on weights. The bits i want want to tone the most are my inner thighs (they feel wobbly) and my triceps so i get a bit of definiton. For my thighs i used the leg press or seated press not quite sure what it is called and the hip abductor which does inner and outer thighs.

I have also done numerous squats, but nothing seems to tone my thighs! Please help x
