i am sure everyone knows the association of pregnancy and exercise kan.. so tak yah la nk elaborate eh.. korang google je kalau nk tau, berlambak2 article on pregnancy and exercise on the net for you to read.. ^_^
those who noticed might have noticed by now that i still try to exercise even during pregnancy.. i do a lot of walking daily.. and if u're pregnant too and you walk like at least 20mins/day tu pun da cukup bagus actually.. so props to you too k.. as for me, since my office is right next to 1utama shopping center, and we have to walk everytime we go for lunch (and back la kan), i'd say i am already walking 20mins/day from monday - friday.. kalau on friday sbnrnya lagi lama and lagi jauh.. ye la, 1utama tu kan besar giler.. if you walk from ujung old wing to ujung new wing and back tu da kira byk giler steps jalan tu..
of course walking around in shopping malls is a lot different than walking to the bus station or lrt station or in a park.. kalau kat malls kan, we will be like "ooohhh jom singgah sini.." or "eh jap jap, nk tgk brg tu.." so we actually walk slower and stop a lot kan.. when we have the time, ajoy and i will make ourselves go to the park like taman tasik s.alam ke, lake garden ke to do some serious walking (jogging for ajoy).. when i have my ipod shuffle glued to my ear and masa tu plak lagu tgh laju, lg laju la aku jalan hihihi..
another exercise i've been meaning to do is swimming tp sbb swimming pool kat my house ni mcm byk sgt mata2, jd segan la plak.. kat ner lg nk swim ek..
and then there's prenatal yoga. sape tak pernah try seriously please try.. the feeling you get after doing it is seriously great!!! u will feel more relaxed tau.. my fave position is mcm kat bwh ni..
so back to the subject above. why tat subject?? some people i know dont quite understand why i wanna bother exercising while being pregnant.. duk diam2 je la kata diaorg.. ada yg kata takde kurus mana pun ko nnti kalau exercise pun.. ada yg kata tak semestinya bila exercise tu nnti senang nak push, tiba2 kena caesar kang sia2 je ko exercise selama ni.. and mcm2 la comments.. notice that they are mostly negative kan..
sbnrnyer sedih gak org perlekehkan my effort.. tak pun coz m like so hormonal now sikit2 nk sedih hahahahahahaahahah.. ok why do i do it??
1) first of all, caesar or normal tu kerja Allah. i can only try my best to do my part.. normal or not, by right we need stamina throughout our pregnancy kan.. esp during 3rd trimester nnti..
2) it is not about nk kurus.. it is about staying fit. there's a difference. learn it.
3) being pregnant automatically means we're getting heavier..tats y sometimes we feel very sluggish.. and exercise can help boost our energy.. x pregnant pun kena exercise to make us more energetic kan.. apa lg la being pregnant tul tak..
4) whenever we exercise, even for a short while, even when we're not pregnant we will feel good. we will feel healthier. tats a fact for everyone. tats also my reason la..
so this is my choice and effort of trying to be as energetic as i can throughout this 9 months..
wish me luck!!
