 Topic: Exersice

With it now being winter, and also on a limited budget, what are some safe exersices that can be done inside during pregnancy, I have heard leg lifts and squats are good.
Does anyone have any other ideas for when its raining and cant go for a walk around the block?

Not at home, but swimming is great while pregnant.
At home: get a swiss ball and do gentle exercises on there like jumping jacks etc.

LOL...Me too...My DH says that I need to exercise (he would never call me fat!! ). But I do get those stretchy Muscle Pulling on the bottom side of tummy....he thinks its because of lack of exsercise....I am such a lazy ass that I cant be bothered!!

Its just so hard to exercise in the winter, im too scared to leave the house because its too cold and dont wanna get sick  , cause it will take ages to get rid of.
Thanks Monikah for the offer to make a plan, cant wait to start.

I'd love to say I would join you ladies but I think that would be setting myself up for another set of the guilts LOL. I'm struggling to do my Pelvic floor exercises. C'mon, we all know they suck big time!

ok, so ive had a look on the internet to see if there is any prenatal exercise programs that are safe and idiotproof (sorry, hope doesnt offend, but you wanna really make sure your doing things right) however most sites were rubbish and only gave guildlines. i have alot of stuff in my folder at work but would take years to write up and without the pictures there is the risk of doing wrong.
so my thoughts are, if any of you want to PM me your address i can photocopy the stuff that i think is best while im at work and post it out. then you have the pictures, guildlines, and the clearist instructions possible. hope that isnt too much of a pain

Hi Monikah.
You are a super 
I would love to have some kind of exercise plan to do.
I am a bridesmaid 9 weeks after my due date so as you can imagine I am worried about turning into a pregnant hippo!!
I will PM you my address.
I have an exercise bike & a bean at home if that helps what you send me.

I wish I had seen this thread sooner! I hope I'm not too late monikah, I'll PM you with my address if I'm not too late.
I invested in one of those big ball things but I have no idea what to with it but the kids love to roll it up and down the hallway!! 
I thought about swimming but it's so hard to find time around to do it.
