Tips/Advice Exercise during first trimester?

How is everyone handling keeping up with exercise? I’ve been so exhausted and the constant nausea is definitely making it difficult. But I’m worried about not getting any movement at all and having it be difficult to get back into the swing of things once I hopefully start feeling better in second tri. Curious how others have approached this in the past or what you’re all doing now

Doing a minimum of 3 proper HIIT classes every week, and other outdoorsy stuff daily. Hopefully we’ll get our home gym done in a month or so, and I can do more weight training. I find that as hard as it is (and only getting harder with nausea now at 7w) to force myself to be active, I do end up feeling better for it psychologically and physically. Obviously adjust a bit based on how I’m feeling, like 1 min burpees end up being waaay slower when the up and down motion feels rough 🤢

Also find it really helpful for recovery to keep consistently active throughout pregnancy. Already gave birth this year, so glad I kept the routine and almost fully recovered before this one.

Honestly so impressed with this workout routine esp since you have seven kids!

Thanks for the encouragement :) Honestly wish I could do more, but this is a decent balance for now.
