My half way point! I am feeling great and loving the energy still. We had an ultra sound yesterday and it's a boy! It was such a fun day for our family. Will was able to announce "It's a boy!" to Sean and I. The look on his little face when the ultrasound technician whispered the gender in his ear was priceless. He is already a very excited big brother. I am so out numbered now... eek! We love little boy #1 so much and can only imagine twice the love and fun in the future.
At 20 weeks I have gained 12 lbs, still have great blood pressure 110 over 70 and zero complications. I am measuring right on target for 20 weeks. I am still teaching 2 to 3 boot camp classes a week. I lift weights 3 days a week and 1 day of cardio for 45-60 minutes depending upon my energy level for that day.
Today was a cardio session. I can not go out for long runs anymore. A 3-5 mile run is just plain uncomfortable. Instead this is what a typical session looks like:
Warm Up 5 Minutes
Circuit:
1. 60 second Jump Rope
2. 60 second DB Burpee with Upright Row
3. 60 second Battling Ropes
4. 60 second AMRAP (as many reps as possible) Band Assisted Chin Ups
5. 60 second Bench Step Overs
2 minute bike ride
REPEAT for 5 cycles
My rest periods were not timed but I found I never had to rest more than 45 seconds. I waited until my heart rate came back down into the 130s and then went on to the next exercise. It was a great total body workout, fun, and challenging!
Ready for the next 20 weeks!
