Turbo Jam…Really?

by Bryan Comer

I’ve been reminding my wife that she should not attempt any exercises that she hasn’t been doing already. It was a question answered by the doctor on our first appointment.

Sarah’s hit the “I’m just fat” stage. We don’t know the sex. We haven’t felt the baby. Other than the physical changes, we have no signs of pregnancy. So, what do you do when you feel you’ve put on a few pounds? Turbo Jam.

I called her on the way home.

“What you doin?”

“”Not being sore from Turbo Jam…I was breathing hard after thirty seconds. AND my nu nu hurts.”

I tried really hard not to say “I told you…and so did the doctor.” So a lesson to those who are pregnant. Exercise is great, but don’t start any exercises you haven’t been doing without talking to your doctor. Some high impact things should be cut altogether, but if it’s something you’ve been doing, you should be fine. Still, ask the doctor if you should continue.

And keep the turbo jam until postpartum.

I tried to link to Turbo Jam, but I never could get the page to open.
