Exercise for pregnant ladies

And there goes my mood to blog about the wedding. Seems like its been months since the big day, and now we're expecting our lil junior! Allahuakbar. We're so blessed. 

Well for those who know me back then, I was 155 cm tall and weigh 49 kilogram. Now Im still 155cm tall but I weigh 11 kilos more. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Yes I now weigh 60 kilogram, and this is all because of Aizad. HAHA. Nak jugak salahkan dia. Well yes, he's made me so happy, in fact we've been so happy that both of us has ballooned at an extremely alarming rate. 

I need to start exercising. 

I know some of you might say that I look better with all this weight on but honestly I feel fat and this is not the pregnancy hormones thats talking. Im having fat everywhere and I cant afford to!!! Imagine how much weight I'll put on for the next 8 months. I need to start exercising again. 

I know Zumba is too much jumping. Too many twirls and jumps that'll make me feel uneasy. So I googled and here's some good tips from BabyCentre.

Cardiovascular

• Walking: One of the best cardiovascular exercises for pregnant women, walking keeps you fit without jarring your knees and ankles. It's also easy to do almost anywhere, doesn't require any equipment beyond a good pair of supportive shoes, and is safe throughout all nine months of pregnancy.

• Swimming: Healthcare providers and fitness experts hail swimming as the best and safest exercise for pregnant women. Swimming is ideal because it exercises both large muscle groups (arms and legs), provides cardiovascular benefits, and allows expectant women to feel weightless despite the extra pounds of pregnancy.
• Low-impact aerobics: One good thing about an aerobics class is that it's a consistent time slot when you know you'll get some exercise. And if you take a class for pregnant women, you'll enjoy the camaraderie of other moms-to-be and feel reassured that each movement is safe for you and your baby.
• Dancing: You can get your heart pumping by dancing to your favorite tunes in the comfort of your own living room, with a DVD, or at a dance class, but steer clear of routines that call for leaps, jumps, or twirls.

BUT WAIT!

My boss who just delivered a baby boy last year looked GREAT during her whole 9 months of pregnancy and when asked, she said she did Yoga.She didnt put on any weight. Bandingkan dengan orang melayu. Tak mengandung pon dah 60 kilo. Kalau dah ngandung, 80 kilo? Korang ngandung bapa kilo? her her.

Maybe I can do yoga but I hate yoga. It hurts too much

Belum papa dah kasi alasan. HAHA
