Lets get started

 

You exercise, your baby exercises too

Exercise during pregnancy has been always recommended, there are so many benefits for mom & baby, unless you have a medical condition that says you can’t, even though there are other options to still exercise without harming yourself or your baby.

Boost your mood: helps with depression and lowers stress

A fitter heart for you and your baby: exercise lowers your and your baby’s heart rate which also indicates good health for your nervous system.

Increases your energy: Exercise is an energy booster.

Less leg swelling. Your body retains more fluid during pregnancy, and your growing uterus puts pressure on your veins, impairing the return of blood to your heart. Exercise can limit swelling by improving blood flow.

Contributes to better sleep: spending time exercising gives you more energy so when the time to sleep comes you already spent all your energy. Some pregnant women say they fall asleep faster.

Lowers your risk to have gestational diabetes in 27%: it lowers your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke by keeping your blood glucose, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides on target 

You are less likely to get constipated: Pregnant women’s intestinal tracts often get backed up due to high progesterone levels and a growing uterus, but exercise, along with a high-fiber diet, keeps your digestive system humming.

You will look and feel better 

Exercise also helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to get your lower half ready for labor. It gives you less of a risk of tearing and reduces the need for an episiotomy in some cases. During ostpartum it helps get your vagina back to where it was before giving birth. Kegel exercises are GREAT for this, though exercise in general tones more areas than you may know about.

You’re likely to be fitter in middle age. In a study that followed women for 20 years after delivery, those who’d exercised throughout pregnancy could run two miles 2 ½ minutes faster than those who’d taken a workout break while pregnant. The continuous exercisers were also working out a lot more.

You can exercise in different ways, walking, swimming or water exercise, pilates, prenatal yoga/pilates, weight trainning.
