Another Week of Pregnancy Workouts

This week I got to hear baby girl's heart beat at my prenatal appointment, which is always awesome. I also got to see a doctor who knows how to do manipulations for my sciatica pain. I have another appointment with him in about two weeks. Hopefully he can help get my pain under control.

On a completely different note, here are my workouts I did this week for those who are interested. Last week's workouts as well as some pregnancy rules for fitness that I follow can be found here.

Monday
3.25 mile run

Tuesday
Part I
For today's weight training, I did three rounds of the following couplets in a pyramid fashion. If I append it with 20, 15, 10 then I started with 20lb dumbbells and ended with 10lb DBs. The same idea holds true if you see 10, 8, 5.

I go through each couplet three times before moving on to the next

8 curls (20, 15, 10)
8 tricep extensions (10, 8, 5)

8 Military shoulder press (20, 15, 10)
8 bent over lat pulls (20, 15, 10)

8 in and out shoulder raises (10, 8, 5)
8 push ups

10 squats (30, 20, 15)
16 bird dogs

Part II
