I havent been pregnant, but I saw a woman on here say she bounces lightly on one of those big stability balls for an hour. There are also work out DVDs geared toward pregnant women that you could do.

When I was pregnant with my daughter,33 yrs ago,I worked on the thoroughbred racing circuit, riding horses in training, lifting hay bales cleaning stalls, etc. My doctor told me i could continue doing anything my body was already used to doing. Of course i was not carrying twins though. But all my work was heavy and strenuous and i had no trouble at all and was unloading truckloads of hay at 6 months along. I quit riding about that time though as with the weight of the baby and size of my belly, it became unconfortable for me to ride with the weight bouncing up and down inside me. I have known female jockeys to ride right up until labor with no problems. Each individual is different but I would continue with what ever exercises you have been doing and at your next checkup ask your doctor if what you have been doing is ok with twins and to what month you must stop if at all.

1. Any sitting exercise machine. Such as;
lat pulldown (back)
cable curls (biceps)
lateral raise (shoulders)
triceps extensions
leg extensions (quadriceps)
seated leg curl (hamstrings)
seated calf raise
cable crossovers (chest)
2. Use low weight with high reps. Try to perform between 12-15 repetitions in 2-3 sets each. If the last few reps are difficult, you will need to lower the weight.
3. It is not a good idea to do abdominal work after the first trimester. Especially on your back.
