Sweat, baby, sweat!!! For my mommies-to-be, or those planning for the future, its okay to work out while youre pregnant! Every situation is different so be sure to talk to your doctor but generally speaking, here are a few guidelines to follow when exerting while pregnant: avoid high risk, high impact and contact sports and activities that have a high risk of falling. avoid exercises that require lying on your back or right side (especially after your first trimester.) be mindful of changes in balance. As your belly grows, weight shifts and joint laxity becomes an issue, make sure youre exercising on stable surfaces and you may sometimes need to hold on to something for support. even though, you may still do some of the activities you did before pregnancy, keep in mind you dont have to go as hard. Exercising at a out 50% of your pre-pregnancy intensity will yield the same effects/results. Be sure to monitor your heart rate throughout your workout. avoid exercising in hot, humid temperatures. Stay well hydrated (double water intake when exercising) and monitor body temperature closely. recommended workouts while pregnant include swimming, walking and pre-natal yoga. Overall, exercising while pregnant is great for mommy and baby and can make for an easier labor and snap back afterwards. Shout out to this fly mama, Danielle!!
