During pregnancy, gentle exercises help you gain an appropriate amount of weight and prepare for the tenacity of giving birth. Be your own personal trainer, you should choose the right exercises for your body and avoid rigorous workload.
Exercises while pregnant
🚶Walking
Walking🚶 is a perfect activity for pregnancy. When you incorporate your arms💪 and legs🦵 while walking for thirty minutes a day, three to five times a week, you can build your upper body strength and flexibility. Instead of running🏃♀️, walking at a fast pace can be a good exercise for your heart.
🚶Yoga
Yoga is known for its gentleness and tranquility.😃 It promotes blood circulation, helps you stretch muscles, and reduces pregnancy pains. Yoga especially teaches you how to control breathing👃, a technique that will serve you well during labor. Remember to avoid inverted poses!🙅♀️
Other exercises during pregnancy
🚶Swimming and water aerobics
Swimming🏊♀️ helps you strengthen your core muscles without twisting your abdomen. It can also relieve nausea, improve blood circulation and lead to an easier pregnancy as you enjoy the soothing flow of water.🤗
🚶Running
If you’re a fan of running hours on a treadmill🏃♀️, you probably can continue to follow your safe running routine but stay alert to any signs of your body. Your center of gravity is shifting as the uterus👶 is growing bigger, hence, you should be careful not to fall. Always check with your doctor throughout your pregnancy to make sure you’re exercising appropriately.👩⚕️
