The very first thing is to discuss your exercise regimen with your
doctor. Your doctor is going to have the most information about your health
issues and any risks that you and your baby may face in the months to come.
Your body really does know what
it can and can't handle in terms of exercise. Perform only those exercises
which do not make you feel uncomfortable.
It's definitely healthy to
exercise while you are pregnant. Stick to a regular routine to maintain the
rhythms of your body. Starting and stopping exercise throughout a pregnancy is
much harder on the body than simply maintaining a routine throughout your pregnancy.
Go slow while
transitioning between exercises or physical activities. Slowing down will make
all of your actions more fluid and safer for your body.
Warm up and cool down
exercises must be done every single time when you exercise. During pregnancy,
it's particularly important to warm up and cool down. Make sure to pay
attention to this part of your exercise routine.
Women should learn about
the right positions for her body while exercising. These are important things
to know when you are exercising, especially if you are doing any form of
on-the-floor exercise.
Don't overheat your body.
This can lead to exhaustion and problems with your body. Make sure that you
wear breathable clothing that will prevent overheating. Pay attention to the
temperature in the room or outside when you are working out.
You should reduce the
amount of exercise as the baby's due date gets closer. This is due to your own
physical limitations as well as the increased risk for pre-term labour among
highly active women.
A personal trainer
experienced in working with pregnant women is a great asset during this time. A
pre-natal class (such as a yoga class for pregnant woman) is another great
option.
Walking is probably the
best exercise for a pregnant woman. It is an excellent way to tone muscles and
help you get sound sleep at night.
