What are the exercise routines recommended and safe during pregnancy?


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.
