Does anyone know if it safe for me to do x-bike or spinning during the pregnancy?

I just found out that I’m pregnant (I’m about three weeks along). I’ve always done some type of excercises, but during the last 2 years I’ve fallen in love with spinning. Currently I started doing x-bike, which is a similar excersice to spinning, but including upper body work out with the bike handles. Anyway, I want to continue to excercise, since I want to bounce back to my pre-baby body quickly, and wish to know if x-bike or spinning are safe to do during the pregnancy.

I exercised throughout my pregnancy but with some restrictions. Ask your doctor about what modifications you should make to your exercise routine and at what point in your pregnancy. You don’t want to do anything to put your baby at risk.

It was hard for me to adjust my routine and slow it down a bit. I did as much as my doctor allowed early on, and I was still doing a lot of walking/waddling by the time I was 9 months pregnant.

Two other things to keep in mind for getting your pre-baby body back:
1. Don’t gain an excessive amount of weight during pregnancy. Your doctor will tell you what is a safe weight gain for your circumstances, but generally it’s 20-30 lbs.
2. If you’re planning to breastfeed, it’s great for the baby and has the added benefit of helping you drop the baby weight.

Just keep in mind that you’ll gradually put on the weight over 9 months, and it won’t just magically disappear when you deliver. I had to keep reminding myself that losing the weight would be a gradual process, but I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight in about 3 months.
