Spin Class

Taking a spin class when pregnant is a bad idea.  Getting on a bike period when pregnant is a bad idea.
I went in to the class with my gf knowing I'd just be peddling along at my own pace.  But wow, sitting on the seat hurt like no one's business.  I used to do a lot of mountain biking and I did a few spin classes in college, so I'm aware that being on a bike can give you a sore tush.  But this was pretty much unreal.  So I was super uncomfortable from the start, but kept on going at my own slow place.  I did most of the standing when everyone else did, and kept the resistance at a nice spot.  Ceanna and I grabbed bikes at the back of the class, which was a good thing because the front row was comprised of some tri-athletes and a super tiny trainer who was rocking out the entire time.  We had a good laugh at ourselves and won't be going back.
I'll stick with swimming laps for my pregnancy exercise and supplement in some yoga.

  2. My friends wanted to go cycling when we were on holiday recently and although I really wanted to go I decided it was a bad idea! Now I'm glad I did!

    I'm super impressed with you doing so much exercise during pregnancy though :)

  3. I can totally relate! It's amazing the things you don't even think about before you're pregnant. Love your blog, btw!
