Belly bootcamp

So I took a few minutes out of my crazy day for me, and headed up to Baby & Me Fitness for Bootcamp Bellies. I have already been to their yoga classes and I can't say enough good things about them. Oh, and the bootcamp class might be prenatal, but it is TOUGH! It is one of the best work-outs I've been to and I have a feeling I'll still feel it tomorrow.

Yoga class 1 = Success

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I went to my first pre-natal yoga class last night, and despite the fact I have never been very good at yoga, I loved it. I can't say enough good things about Baby & Me Fitness. The classes start with 30 minutes of conversation or instruction before you get into the work out. Last night, our instructor had us go around the room and share our fears or concerns about our pregnancy or upcoming births. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but as people started to open up it felt so comforting to be able to share with 14 other women who were going through very similar experiences. After the discussion we had an hour-long yoga class, and since the moves are modified, even I was able to do all the moves without feeling completely out of my element. I will definitely be back, and will be trying more of the pre-natal classes the offer.

Yoga Anyone?

So, with the weight slowly starting to come on, I've decided its time to actually do something physical. I walk to work - a whopping 1.7km each way - and so have been justifying not doing much else until now. Now that I am feeling better though, and now that the scale is creeping upwards (which I know is good news) I'm feeling more and more like I should do something. So tonight, I will be going to my first prenatal yoga class at Baby & Me Fitness. I have never been very good at yoga so am hoping the modified classes will be just right for me.

Now starting a new fitness class with my rapidly growing belly creates a new set of problems - mainly work out clothes. So I figured this was a perfect excuse to spend some of my maternity clothes money on a brand new workout top from lululemon. I stopped into the mall on the weekend and fell in love with the No Limits Tank because not only does it not show my baby bump now, but there is room to grow so I know I can use it my whole pregnancy long. Here it is in passion, and so far, I love it.
