Don't fret! Right now the easiest, yet effective thing you can do is walk, walk, walk. f you're in good shape, take on some hills, or a hiking trail so that you feel you get the leg workout you're used you without the jumping. Right now you can also do wide leg plie squats. Stand with your feet wide apart with your knees and you toes lined up in the same direction. Place you hands out to the side or supported on a table or chair beside you. Lower your hips down no lower than knee level, then press up again. Repeat 10 to 20 times. Start with 10, then gradually work your way up to 20 over a period of weeks. Do these in sets of two or three, depending on how your body responds to just one set. This exercise not only keeps your thighs toned, but is a necessary exercise during pregnancy for strength and endurance during labor. If you come across a set of stairs on your walking trail, take on a flight or two!
All is not lost. You will more than likely get your legs back after the birth of your baby. Muscles remember. You'll be back in shape in no time at all!
