WORKOUT WHILE PREGNANT | A ENTRENAR EN EL EMBARAZO!!
English below ;) Thank you!!
WORKOUT VIDEOS AT THE BOTTOM | VIDEOS DE MIS WORKOUTS AL FINAL :)
Por que será que hay por ahí tantos mitos en relación al embarazo? Damos por cierto algo que oímos por ahí que dice la abuela de la tatarabuela de la tía de mi amiga y nos comemos el cuento. Pasamos por esta vida llenos de miedos! Desde el coco cuando éramos chiquitos hasta que hacer o no hacer cuando se está embarazado. Este último tema si que me ha costado trabajarlo con la gente. Podemos comenzar con el hecho de que estar embarazado no es estar enfermo, ( a no ser que pase por un embarazo de riesgo en el cual hay que tener mucho cuidado), mis queridas les cuento un secreto: No se excusen para llenarse de tortas y pastelitos y echarse a dormir! Lo sé por experiencia propia y basándome en que no tuve propiamente los mejores 4 meses iniciales, que tenemos días terribles, con nauseas, jaquecas, malestares; y días buenos que son exactamente los que tenemos que aprovechar para exprimir al máximo!!!!
- Ayuda a regular la presión arterial y circulación, tan carente durante estos nueve meses, previniendo el deterioro de las articulaciones (que tienden a aflojarse a causa de los cambios hormonales) al activar el líquido sinovial que actúa como lubricante.
- Ayuda a controlar la subida de peso innecesaria que tanto cuesta recuperar después de tener al bebe y nos hace sentir todavía más felices estimulando nuestra autoestima. Pero nada de hacer dietas, no es el momento para esto, el bebe necesita de que se alimenten bien.
- Alivia los dolores de espalda, mejora la postura, fortalece y tonifica los músculos de la espalda, los glúteos y los muslos.
- Reduce la constipación al acelerar el movimiento intestinal.
- Ayuda a dormir mejor al aliviar el estrés.
- Prepara nuestro cuerpo para el parto. Si nuestros músculos son mas fuertes y nuestro corazón trabaja mejor, el parto de facilita.
- Puede incluso disminuir el riesgo de tener complicaciones, como la preeclampsia y la diabetes gestacional.
Entonces que se debe evitar?: Levantar mas peso del que se acostumbra, evitar movimientos en que se ponga en riesgo la salud de la madre y del bebé, evitar caídas e deportes de alto riesgo como sky, skate, surf, entre otros. Evite los ejercicios en que tiene que acostarse en la espalda después del primer trimestre.
El ejercicio debe siempre ser suspendido si se presentan algunos de los síntomas abajo indicados:
- Mareo
- Falta de aire
- Dolor en la espalda o en la pelvis
Why is it that so many myths out there about pregnancy? We believe in something that once we heard from the grandmother of our friend's aunt and we took it as truth without researching about it. We pass our life feeling the fear of everything! From horror characters of childhood to believe in what to do or not to do during pregnancy. This last subject, has cost me a lot of work with people around. Let's start with the fact that being pregnant is not being sick, (unless you go through a pregnancy risk which must be very careful), my dear, let me tell you a secret: No excuse to binge on cakes and cupcakes and lie down into the coach to sleep! I know from personal experience and based on the terrible first 4 initial months that I had, that we have terrible days, with nausea, headache, malaise; and there are some good days, and these are the days we must to make the most of them !!!!
One of the most controversial myths is training during pregnancy. Has been proven that exercise brings benefits for the baby and the mother, such as:

HIIT WORKOUT!! BURN FAT! | QUEIMA GORDURA | QUEMA GRASA
HIIT WORKOUT (HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING)
Studies have shown that HIIT burns almost 50% more fat than low intensity workouts. Also speeds up the metabolism helping to burn more calories throughout the day.
If the goal is bulking, carbs should be higher than the protein and fat consumed. A consumption of 45% to 50% of daily carbs. Protein should be consumed in a 35% healthy fats and 15% to 20%.
If it is to maintain and improve anaerobic and aerobic endurance, carbos should be up to 40% of daily consumption. 35% to 25% protein and healthy fats.
With HIIT you can achieve two goals: will help you speed up fat loss and improving aerobic and anaerobic endurance. With a good diet, is very likely to produce quick results in a short period of time so it has been gaining popularity since it was introduced to the bodybuilding community.
No one can promise any specific results, but it is possible that after a cycle of 8 weeks of HIIT combined with weight training, you and those around you will notice a significant change in your body.
Which is better? high intensity cardio or HIIT? As you know I love running, but I am also aware that it won't take me to my goals at this moment. One year ago, running led me to lose the weight i did not want and tone my legs, but the truth is that most of the results in the rest of my body were lead by the parallel training I use to do after running and as cross training plan. When you do a cardio workout at the same pace all the time, your body goes into what is called steady state. It means that your body has adjusted to the speed at which you are going and works hard to conserve energy (calories). HIIT avoids this state, burning more calories and fat.

Este tipo de treino é um dos meus favoritos. Na verdade, além de correr é a minha paixão, eu treino com HIIT pelo menos 3 vezes por semana. Mas e como é que ele funciona?
Se é para manter-se e melhorar a resistência anaeróbica e aeróbica, os carbos devem ir até 40% do consumo diário. Proteína 35% e 25% de gorduras saudáveis.
Com HIIT se podem alcançar dois objetivos: ajudar a acelerar a perda de gordura e a melhorar a resistência aeróbia e anaeróbia. Com uma boa dieta, é muito provável que se produzam resultados muito rápidos em um curto período de tempo, por isso tem vindo a ganhar popularidade desde que foi introduzido na comunidade fitness.

Yoga para Corredores
When muscles are tense , end up being brittle , hard and inflexible , weathering the joints and lesions appearing . The muscles act as natural shock absorbents of the body , which , ideally , should be soft , pliable and flexible, yoga for its part offers this flexibility and muscle strength.
Runners can use yoga to balance strength, increase range of motion and train the body and mind. Has the ability to move your body through gravitational dimensions while also teaches how to coordinate breathing with every subtle movement. The end result is that your body , mind, and breath will be integrated into all actions . In addition, yoga teaches the cultivation of body wisdom and confidence. As you develop a greater understanding of the body and how it works, the runner becomes able to hear and respond to the messages that the body sends.
You learn by practicing yoga every day is different, as each run. Your energy levels fluctuate daily, even hourly, so it is important to have some sense when you are working out. The calm that produces yoga allows you to manage and save your energy.
Another important aspect is the breath, the practice of yoga enhances breathing with pranayama, allowing to maximize the size of your probe and the amount of fresh blood flowing through the body. When yoga is more vigorous can increase your ability to oxygen. If you are feeling any kind of pain, the first thing you should do is not to ignore the signs. Take a break when your body needs it. Second, begin to incorporate yoga postures in every warm up and stretching of your workout. Think about running as the linear part of your workout and yoga as a complement.
