How long did you keep doing Zumba or other dance/cardio classes while pregnant?

| I attempted to do a dance class and got winded so quickly I stopped going, and I think I was still in the end of my first trimester/beginning of 2nd. so not that far along. |

I have a few preggers in my classes, and as long as their Dr. is ok with it and they feel up to dancing, they still come to class. I think they are all second trimester or earlier. I told them to modify anything they need to and to take water breaks when they need to. They can lower intensity by omitting the arm movements, replace jumps with squats or bounces or something lower impact.
This goes for my seniors, deconditioned or recovering-from-injury people, too. Everyone morphs the workout into whatever they can do. But always listen to your body...if you need rest, rest. |

| I did zumba until week 32. Then my workout was just chasing my 2yo around until the baby came. |
