Just seeking a bit of advice really, on continuing (or restarting) Shred/Ripped in early pregnancy - I am 7+4 at the moment, first pregnancy.
I have always exercised, to greater or lesser degrees, but have to maintain basic fitness to keep an old back injury in check. Over the last year I have done C25k and also worked through the Jillians, combining that with running. I got to the point where I could happily tackle any of the Ripped/Shred/Buns n thighs workouts and could comfortably run 6 or 7km
However I slacked off somewhat in the summer and now am not sure what level to go back in at - I can still comfortably manage the level 1 workouts with a couple of modifications/breathers if I am getting too hot or out of breath (I seem to be reaching exhaustion quicker). I haven't tried running (feeling sluggish/it's dark and cold etc)
What I'd really like to aim for is to regain some of the tone that I had before the summer, so that I've got a good base of muscle to rely on when it all gets heavier. Am I being unrealistic?? Is it too late to improve/regain fitness?
Any advice/experience welcome.
