I started jogging 2 weeks ago and my husband and I are trying to for a another baby. Can I keep up my jogging routine after I get pregnant. I tried walking at a really fast pace on the treadmill keeping in mind that I might need to change my options and I hated it. I barely broke a sweat after 35 mins. Can you burn as many calories walking as you would jogging? Is walking just as effective?

You can maintain a current routine when pregnant as long as you don't drastically increase the intensity, you will be fine, being gfit during pregnancy will make it easier on you and make it easier to bounce back afterwards.

there is a post on pregnancy/exercise in the FAQs forum.
