Pregnant - will a stair stepper work?
Hi all,
I am 28 weeks pregnant and I know walking is very beneficial to while pregnant and usually helps with labor, plus it will give me a good start towards getting my pre pregnancy body back.... However I don't have a treadmill..... Would a stair stepper yield the same results? Does a stair stepper work the same muscles that a treadmill does? How many minutes should I work out on it? Thanks for any input.
****How long did it take you to get back to your pre pregnancy body? I ~was~ 5 5 130 and in shape (exercised) before I got pregnant....
the stair stepper should still be okay to use when you are pregnant for the sake of getting excersise. The only problem is that when you start putting on the extra weight and your ligaments and tendons start to loosen up from the relaxin your body is going to be producing you may start having trouble with your knees and ankles because of the stepping motion. The reason the suggest walking is because it is free and low impact so the mother won't be uncomfortable and the mother won't over exert herself.
The stair stepper works the same muscles as walking but just a bit differently you tend to target the quads and the glutes on the stair stepper, which is like walking uphill. You really don't need to be worrying about the body parts being worked moreso you need to just focus on being healthy. Thirty minutes to and hour of excersise at a leisurely pace (where you can talk with no problem) is a good amount of time. But you should really talk to your OB if you have any concerns or questions that is what they are there for.
As for pre-pregancy body everyone is different, but from my readings the more time it takes you to get back into shape the harder it will be to lose. The best way is to eat healthy for you and the baby and excersise (for you and the baby). I think the recommended amount of weight they suggest for someone your pre-pregnancy size to gain is about 25-35 lbs. Hope it helps
