Love this!!!! Having recently found out I'm pregnant myself and very into crossfit, this is inspiring!! Thank you crossfit!!

Best. Picture. EVER. Also, fantastic WOD.

Cherie's hot!

Hey, look everyone, it's Matt Chan! Hi, Mr. Chan. And yes, your wife looks wonderful. :D I aspire to do pull ups as effortlessly as she. She's an inspiration to all of us CrossFit chicks.

You're not supposed to do overhead exercises when you're that far along.

Pete,
I'll gladly defer to your expertise as to which movements are appropriate for pregnant women at various stages of pregnancy. I think, however, you need to flesh out your point considerably, at least citing some references, for your comment to benefit the CrossFit community. It appears you could help some folks avoid real harm with a little more factual information.

Pregnant chicks are sexy!! The WOD looks pretty awful though.

The issue with those type of movements in that stage of pregnancy is that the strain on the abdominal wall, muscles, and round ligament could literally tear open the placenta and kill your baby.

Reference: my NICU nurse wife who has seen it happen a few times

Thank you HQ for keeping this at 2 rounds....killa

I'm exactly halfway through my pregnancy today! I absolutely love this pic... I also love all the pregnancy and CF info found in the journal, Tanya Wagner (amongst other strong women) makes me want to stay strong. Still doing CF 5 or 6 times per week thanks to some great info out there:)

Good Strikers!

What your wife is referring to is something called a placental abruption. While trauma such as falling, motor vehicle accidents or direct blows to the abdomen certainly can result in abruption, there is no evidence to suggest that exercise will. Unfortunately that myth still exists and is largely based on animal studies that do not correlate with human data. High blood pressure is linked to about half of placental abruptions - something that mom's who continue to exercise are at much lower risk of. While some women need to limit exercise for medical reasons during pregnancy most women who have been doing xfit for a while can continue to do so safely. I wouldn't recommend trying to set a PR. Reference - medical school and residency

Thanks Alison! I'm no medical guy myself but I will definitely pass that along to her. Glad to see good discussions about these things.

36:37 Rx'd, I totally agree - 2 rounds was enough. 3 of us finished within 1 and a half mins of each other with one guy scaled down on movements. Great fun though

People that believe there is no evidence that exercise doesn't cause the same abdominal trauma that physical contact can is clearly being naive. Next you'll tell me you can't tear a bicep doing curls.

CF Hq needs to do a WOD for Ty Woods ASAP.

Shane the deceleration and shear forces caused by falls or blunt trauma is not the same as that caused by lifting weight. Can you tear your biceps, hamstrings rectus etc? - absolutely. Have I ever seen a liver laceration from K2E? - no. Should you be doing box jumps and rope climbs in your second and third trimester -no. Can you exercise safely in pregnancy - yes. It's called common sense.

what happened with the guys at the end of the "Extended workout footage"?

Us active pregnant women are not as fragile as many would think.

It never ceases to amaze me how horrified people act when we do a simple kettlebell swing with proper form - but they think nothing about how we have to haul around a tantruming/kicking 40lb toddler having a fit on a grocery store floor and other fun stuff that comes with not having the luxury to lay on a couch or just walk when you have more than 1 kid.

Qualifications- Due tomorrow and in top health due to consistent exercise (mostly kettlebells) in pregnancy & recovered quickly from a very disastrous first labour due to top physical condition.

I am 14 weeks and doing CF 4-5 x's a week. I love this photo. I still do every movement except handstand pushups, rope climbs, and box jumps. I feel great and I look forward to a successful pregnancy and delivery, considering last delivery was natural without pain Meds and only pushed for 1.5 hrs. Thank you, CF!

instead of all the men advising women how they should/should not exercise during pregnancy, could we hear from some girls HAVE injured themselves working out during gestation ?

Sunday musings...

1) Show. "Don't worry about showing other people, show yourself." - Miguel Cabrara.

I like that.

2) End. "In the end everything will be all right; if it's not all right, it's not the end."

3) BMI. Some so-called "enlightened" (no pun intended) companies have begun to use the BMI to determine an employee's contribution to his/her health insurance premiums. While the public at large (pun intended) will be enlightened (not sure) to learn that size in their case matters, CrossFitters and other strong people will find themselves on the wrong end of a new type of discrimination. (Our Warfighters have faced something similar for a long time)

Here's my bid: do the same thing with a much more telling metric. Use % Body Weight Fat instead. If you must have some sort of body habitus number use the waist/hip ratio as well. The BMI is a lazy man's measure which fails to take into account real fitness or health success stories. %BW Fat is just too easy and too inexpensive any more to not use instead.

Heck, you don't even need to do any math.

4) Retirement. Knowing when to hang it up is hard. I am a retired football player who works with his hands for a living. I will have to retire again, at least from the technical part of my job, sooner than I am prepared either mentally or spiritually to do so. It is the nature of the beast when one has a physical vocation or pursues a physical avocation.

Knowing when, and why, to hang it up is hard though. It's especially hard when you must choose to retire from one thing in order that you may better pursue another. It's brutally, bitterly difficult when you decide to hang up your spurs even though you know that you are better than almost anyone else in that arena, but you've either slipped below your own acceptable level of performance, or know that you will slip if you devote even a little bit less time and effort to that pursuit. (As an aside, the inflection point when you realize that you have peaked and will never get better, that you must exert as much effort to just stay at your level as you did to get there, is a bitter crossroad in itself).

There are lessons for each of us to learn by observing those who choose to retire rather than be retired. These lessons are all the more poignant if they are accompanied by a narrative provided by the retiree explaining "why" and "why now". So it is today with my young friend Jul!e F0ucher who has announced her retirement as a Games athlete (www.juliefoucher.com). Embarrassingly blessed with multiple gifts and aware that she has reached a crossroad where she must choose which of those gifts she will emphasize, she has chosen to place her academics first. Moreso, she has graciously told us why.

It is there, in the "why" of which she writes, that the lesson lies. The pursuit of excellence, of a personal peak, bespeaks a certain maturity as well as an understanding of the burden bourn by the gifted, born of their gifts. Jul!e must first "show herself" that she has made a full commitment, met her own standard, so that one day she will be able to retire, again, in the full knowledge that she cheated no one, least of all herself, in the full pursuit of her peak.

"Without heroes we are all plain people, and do not know how far we can go."

Having already gone farther than almost anyone in one domain, inspiring countless people along the way, Jul!e has retired as a Games competitor and will now fully pursue her career in medicine. Who knows how far she will go; how cool if she takes us all along on this ride, too.

I'll see you next week...

Scaled pullups (after first 25 arms gave up) to Bodyweight rope pulldowns. Plus the overhead squat was done with 20 kg (44 lbs). At the first round mistakenly made 75 squats instead of 50. On the second round 6 pull-ups before switching to rope pull-downs (made the whole 50 then). Squats came out 50 on the second round, too. Hurts like hell walk stairs downwards :D

You are all cordially invited to saunter over to CrossFitMoms.com for some research and refreshments. You know, "measurable, observable, repeatable," data and all that stuff that's soooo much less interesting than opinion, or how you feel.

Although we really do care how you feel. Really. We do.

Good WOD. Clocked in at 21:13, RX'd.

How are you "risking the life" of an unborn fetus by practicing squatting?

If you are a mother, then certainly you recall how important squatting is when it comes to labour? To keep the pelvis open for optimum delivery and use gravity to your advantage?

To all subbing 3x single unders for the doubles, check the FAQ. Loosely quoting "the intensity of single unders in no way matches double unders. Tuck jumps should be used in a 1:1 ratio." If you haven't done the tuck jump yet, it's murder. Also, I have a crappy rope which makes it nigh impossible for doubles. Suggestions?
Keep pregnancy debate going, as fitness seems very secondary to fetal health

Double unders where actually very hard... not used to rope dance!

**were

And to add-

I found kettlebell swings to be one of the best exercises in both my pregnancies - the kettlebell is very accommodating to a growing baby belly and obviously quite safe assuming you actually know how to do a proper movement!

Besides, I found it a lot safer than dragging a 40lb tantruming toddler through a parking lot. It's a shame nobody bothered to scold me for that at 40 weeks pregnant (due tomorrow) but I must be insane for using a 12kg kettlebell in a proper fashion ;)

Exercise during pregnancy why not?
Use common sense
Back in the day woman and pregnant woman where mentally and physical fit by working: keeping their husbands in line, killing chickens or whatever and cooking it for dinner, cleaning, getting wood for the fire, carrying water from the well, washing clothes in the creek, taking care of the other children, shooting guns to protect loved ones.
And they give birth to children

Nowadays; woman and pregnant woman are still strong and fit by exercising. They are still keeping their husbands in line, still protecting their children and loved ones. They’re working in many fields that require mental and physical fitness, law enforcement, detention facilities, first responders and the US Military.
And they give birth to children

A study of more than 92,000 pregnant women found that most types of exercise (with the exception of swimming) correlated with a higher risk of aborting prior to 18 weeks. Increasing time spent on exercise was associated with a greater risk: an approximately 10% increased risk was seen with up to 1.5 hours per week of exercise, and a 200% increased risk was seen with more than 7 hours per week of exercise. High-impact exercise was especially associated with the increased risk

Ahhh...the CF pregnancy debate. Women, you know your body! It is called "intuition," and while the modern technologically advanced medical community would often try (unintentionally, I suppose) to discount it, that is what you use, for yourself, to determine whether KB swings are good for you at whatever stage of pregnancy you are in. When I was pregnant with my third, I could do kipping pullups comfortably during the first and third trimesters (with a band during the last few weeks). Not the second trimester. I listened to my body. I also birthed my last two at home with a midwife. Because I listened to my intuition, that gut feeling that tells you whether something you are doing to your body is helping it or hurting it, when you aren't pregnant and decide whether or not to PR or hurt yourself, or when your greatest priority is your child within you. Don't assume that what works for YOU at xx weeks gestation is the only route. Don't assume that the medical community overrules intuition in a natural process. Stepping off the soapbox now.

Maybe everyone should consider their own feelings about this photo and why they feel this way. This photo is really not anyone else's business, in the end, accept the Mother and Father. Obviously this woman has done her research and asked for the opinion of professionals she trusted (not you!) and feels completely comfortable with what decisions she has made. I have never been pregnant but my first feelings about this photo was that she is very dedicated to her body and baby. Maybe we are touching on some other subjects though?

Wanted to barf and quit so bad. Sucky time but so glad I stuck it out.

I agree with Alis. I was 9 months pregnant and carrying around a 19 month old, diaper bag, bags of groceries, all at the same time. A kettlebell swing is a completely controlled movement, or should be. I don't see any danger or harm in doing that or other exercises. Maintaining good physical condition during pregnancy? What everyone who wants better health (lower blood pressure, more stable blood sugar, better mental condition) for themselves and their child should do!

That was a real ass-kicker. I forget how the bodyweight WODs can sneak up on you. I thought I would go for it on pull-ups since I was fresh at the start, and got the first 42 (PR)! So first round was 42-8; second round was 15-10-10-10-5. Took sit-ups slow and smooth until it got too painful, then broke them into chunks of 5 and 10. OHS were 30-20 / 25-15-10. Double-unders hurt more than they usually do; I had the strange sensation of breaking double-unders not b/c I missed, but b/c I was gassed. It was not a pleasant sensation. Totally spent at the end, and still having trouble straightening my arms. Not a great sign...predicting serious DOMS in the forearms.

Ok, so during my last pregnancy of my now miss 2 I was not told off for having to lift a 20kg boy around, constantly lifting him especially when he had a broken leg. This did however result in severe abdominal separation (4 fingers wide in the end instead of 2) by the end of my pregnancy and almost being unable to walk because of the pain in my pelvis. My baby was fine, it was an extremely unfit me that suffered. When I started cross fit My ab separation was still at 2 fingers wide and I found out I was pregnant again. 4 weeks in my separation was down to 1 finger width, checked last night and I have no gap. I have been cross fitting for around 10 weeks and now almost 16 weeks I will not stop. With my own common sense, listening to my own body and with the help and knowledge of my coaches I will continue cross fit, no matter how scaled for my ability, as long as I can. I have never felt stronger and I am still getting stronger and losing the toxic fat from my body as I exercise responsibly.....and I love kettlebell swings...one of my faves :)....and I love this pic!

I go to a commercial gym and everybody looks at me like I'm an idiot who does kipping pull-ups. I just learnt the transition today for it. Felt like I didn't belong. I want to go to a cross-fit gym but it's just so expensive for me

Horrible
And my knees hurt

Another issue with overhead movements is that the relaxin hormone is preparing the hips for birth by "relaxing" the connective tissue. The relaxin cannot chose which joints to apply itself to so all joints are effected, particularly the shoulders and hips. This puts the mother at an increased risk of injury in all joints if moving a heavy load.

This does not take into account the newly doubled blood volume and heart murmurs temporarily caused by the increased volume.

Ladies, listen to your body, use moderate loads and keep working out if your energy levels support it. Like another commented, follow scaling on CrossfitMom.

CFWU-2. Monkey touches instead of PU 2nd. Superman. Burgener. Row 500m.
23:55
PU not bad overall. Sets of 10 through 20 on 2nd round then 6's. Breaks too long in between sets of 6. Situps not bad once I got good breath for each rep. Use feet to push myself back down. OHS not bad, esp w/good breath & getting weight on o/s of feet on way down. DU bad first round esp. Couldn't get good rhythm. Better when hand positioning right.

28:55 as Rx'd. I'm impressed with so many of these killer times here.

Do you people realize how hard pregnant women work in developing countries? Makes crossfit look like a walk in the park.
I did WODs 4 or five times a week until 42 weeks and wouldn't you know? I gave birth to a little genius, and shed all baby weight after ten weeks.
Please stop posting heresy and stick to facts, thanks!
