what is the most time-efficient exercise i can so to improve my aerobic fitness?

Question

How good is wii fit as an aerobic fitness routine?

Answer 1

Single best: squats or burpees: start with one set of ten and add 1 set/week

Answer 2

Swimming.: I think swimming, as a whole body effort, will help,you burn the most calories per minute.

Answer 3

Yes: Absolutely. Keep doing whatever activity you did before or start a new regimen. Make sure to get adequate calories in your diet (you are feeding two now) and plenty of fluids and rest.

Answer 4

Yes: Of course! exercise is great for your physical health and will not interfere with you producing breast milk as long as your nutrition (and hydration!) remains good. Be sure to drink lots of water and consume adequate calories to replenish what you may be losing from breast feeding and also working out.

Answer 5

Yes: Moderate exercise is good for a woman, whether breastfeeding or not.

Answer 6

Yes: You should keep active throughout your pregnancy. Just about everyone can exercise during pregnancy. Yoga and walking are good for those who are not used to exercise. You can continue almost any exercise during pregnancy. If you have medical or pregnancy complications, you should ask your doctor before exercising.

Answer 7

Yes: Provided you were exercising before the pregnancy then it's ok. Drink lots of water and congratulations!

Answer 8

Yes : It is recommended to avoid high impact and super strenuous exercise. But there are many benefits to you and your baby from exercise during pregnancy. Enjoy.

Answer 9

Yes, please do!: Exercise in pregnancy has been shown to decease the amount of pain women describe in labor, as well, a study reported that exercise shortened labor. Exercise decreases risk for developing gestational diabetes, hypertension and pre-eclampsia. As others have said, stay hydrated! but old adage about not getting heart rate elevated has been found false. So exercise away!

Answer 10

Yes: So long as you do not have any medical or obstetrical problems that preclude physical activity, you can and should exercise during pregnancy. Pregnant women who are physically active throughout the pregnancy do very well with labor, delivery, etc. Walking, pregnancy yoga, pregnancy pilates, swimming, the elliptical machine are all great options.

Answer 11

Discuss...: This with your ob. They will be able to guide you through your pregnancy and give you specifics on do's and don'ts. Best of luck!

Answer 12

Pregnancy: Yes you can and studies have shown this will help with your delivery. Always talk to your on doctor about your exercise program.

Answer 13

Please ask your OB: As your OB knows you, but assuming you are having no problems that is fine and healthy, pregnancy is not the time to add a new exercise , but continue what you have been doing and as u get farther will need to modify that, if you would develop some type of complication, hopefully not, like premature labor or incompetent cervix to name 2 then no exercise.

Answer 14

Yes!: You will accommodate and will not have to work as hard so you will not get as good of a workout. I am a big advocate of hiit (high intensity interval training) and recommend you add hill work or some sprints to your workout to challenge yourself - 30 sec sprint with 90 sec jog works well x 8. This workout also enhances natural secretion of growth hormone and increases your resting metabolism.

Answer 15

Not sure: Your question is not very clear. Craving for what? Food exercise, etc? Usually cravings are caused by repeated use of a substance, i.E caffeine, chocolate, etc; your body gets used to this; the best thing is to wean yourself off. You can go cold turkey or slow wean. Drink water because most things are dehydrating, chart to see triggers: menstrual cycle, moods, weather etc to prepare yourself.

Answer 16

Through Injuries!: Unless i'm missing something in your question, muscle imbalances (differences in strength) may cause undo strain on supporting structures when lifting. Nerves and nerve roots can by compressed accidentally by inappropriate twisting in order to hoist weight. This is dangerous and should be scrupulously avoided by trying to strengthen all muscle groups similarly.
