I've never been a huge believer in yoga...but now that I'm preggo, it seems like a good idea and something people always suggest. I haven't been much of a "work out bee" lately so I know I need to do something. I am a little hesitant to go to Chesapeake's classes on Saturdays because 1) who has time on Saturdays and 2) I don't know those people=intimidating! Chellie has offered for me to come over and try out her video she bought, but our schedules never work out. So tonight, I went and rented two pre-natal yoga videos from the library. My thought - eh, I could use a little stretching.
A little stretching?? My word, I was sweating through the WARM UP. Never mind the 1" push up that I had to do in the actual work out or lunges where I could barely get back up from (not due to pregnancy, due to no muscles!!). It's amazing how tight my body is and how off center I have become. It felt really good though!! Justin thought I had been through a hurricane with my hair in all different directions and a glazed look in my eye once I was through. Yes, it's been that long since a work out.
But alas, I have made it through the first work out and even enjoyed the cool down. Now I'm continuing to cool down...all the way to the freezer for some ice cream.

I'm glad you found some videos. I like mine because it's broke into sections.. two 10 minute ones and one 20 minute one.. then there is the warm up meditation and cool down. I like being able to choose just how much I feel like that day. I just hope my flexibility improves soon.
YOU ARE SO FUNNY! I am glad you broke down and did a video. You will be amazed at how good some of the easy moves/stretches feel at 9 mos. I still do some of the modified moves because they are such great stretchers!
