What are the exercise routines recommended and safe
during pregnancy?
Obstetricians suggest that expecting mothers get at least 30
minutes or more of moderate exercise per day, most days of the week.
What counts in that 30 minutes?
· Three 10-minute walks
throughout the day are just as important as 30 minutes on the treadmill or bike
at the gym.
·
Swimming is a particularly
good exercise in pregnancy, as the water helps to support your extra weight.
This can be a huge relief, especially in the third trimester. And unlike other
forms of exercise, swimming helps you to
feel cool.
·
Moderate jogging starting
early in pregnancy can help you avoid excess weight gain and keep you in shape
for labor in a few short months.
Elliptical use while
pregnant provides a low-impact cardiovascular workout while toning
muscles.
Indoor Cycling - The best
thing about this is that the bike supports your weight, so there is less stress
on your body. A stationary bike is a great exercise because there is a low risk
of falling.
Yoga has a long-standing
reputation for relieving stress and pressure on your body. Most forms of yoga
will be safe for you and your baby. There are special classes for pregnant
women. Avoid lying flat on your back for extended periods of time and try not
to overstretch.
Low impact Aerobics is
great for your heart and lungs and improves muscle strength. It is safe to do
and can help you to have a healthier pregnancy.
Pilates strengthens
your tummy, back and pelvic floor muscles, which are the areas that can cause
problems during pregnancy and after the birth. So, it's a great exercise to do
when you're pregnant, although some of the exercises will need to be modified
as you get nearer your due date.
Light Weightlifting is a
great way to stay fit
during pregnancy—as long as you stay within certain limits. Exercising during pregnancy, including weight
training, comes with many benefits, such as help with labor and delivery, with
improving your stamina.
Most exercises are safe to perform during
pregnancy, as long as you exercise with caution and do not
overdo it. Make sure to consult your
obstetrician prior to starting your exercise routines. It should be noted that each pregnancy
differs from one another.
