Im in my 2nd trimester now and feeling so lazy and heavy all the time. I want to stay active but scared of overdoing anything. What do u all do to stay fit, like walking or some light yoga? pls share what worked for u.
Dont stress about being super fit na, just stay active. Walk, drink water, sleep well. That's basically it. I felt much better on days I moved around vs days I just lay down.
Best is to ask your gynac what's safe for your body, every pregnancy is different. Generally walking, prenatal yoga and good diet keep you fit. Some people can do more, some are told to rest, so personalised is better.
Walking, light stretching and eating proper is more than enough for most of us. Dont overthink heavy workouts. Both my pregnancies I just walked daily and kept moving around the house.
I kept it simple, morning walk and some breathing exercises my doctor showed. My mother also said dont sit idle whole day, keep doing light house work. It kept me active till the end.
Daily walk helped me the most, even 20-30 min in the evening. I also did prenatal yoga but only after my gynac said it's ok for me. Pls dont start anything new without asking your doc first.
Honestly with work I couldnt do much, so I just walked after lunch n took stairs when possible. Stayed hydrated n didnt skip meals. Small things add up actually.
