Expert Tracey Mallett

Posted Wednesday, December 17, 2008 1:15 PM

Tracey is an internationally recognized personal trainer, fitness instructor, and sports nutritionist certified through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of American (AFAA) and the National Academy of Sports Nutrition (NASN). A mother herself, Tracey knows firsthand how easy it can be to let life's daily stresses derail your own health and wellness. After her first pregnancy brought on a 55-pound weight gain, she placed her fitness career on hold, feeling a complete lack of self-confidence. But she also knows what it takes to get back on track and back into shape. Today Tracey is the owner of ATP Specific Training and Physical Therapy in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and two young children. Her latest book, Sexy in 6 (with accompanying DVD), is available now at Amazon.

I workout and do cardio about 5 to 6 days a week. I rotate between my eliptical and workout tapes. When is it not safe to workout this much? My tapes have alot of jumping and squating and core work, is it safe to continue using these tapes so early on in my pregnancy. My screen name is Kwhite81.

I recently began a half-marathon training program. I'm only about 3 weeks into it and I just found out I am about 6 weeks pregnant.  At this point in my training, I have only just started running for short periods in between walking.  Can I continue to train? Up to what point? I would like to work up to running about 4 miles at a time (4 days per week). I have done the training before but quit, and I didn't have any problems then.

I just read that Jenna Jameson did 500 sit ups a day while preggers with her twin boys. Is that even safe?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and my sister and I dance all the time like for loss of better words *crazy ppl*. I have danced since I was very young, but this dancing we like to do sometimes is just fun and weird. Is it ok to still dance like this?

re: Expert Tracey Mallett

We are trying to conceive, I have had a miscarriage in January and I am already at a high risk because of my endometrosis.  I actually gained a lot of weight the first time i was pregnant in december even though that was only a month because i was nauseous all the time.. My question is, I am a very active person and i want to excersise.  I usually excersise 3 times a day and i would like to start using weights again, 10 pounders....How much is too much and should i wait till after the I am pregnant or after my first trimester is done??  can you recommend any dvd's or books for exersises..
