It’s a rare bird that keeps up with exercises during pregnancy. If you are wondering, why to bother yourself with exercises during pregnancy, the answer is really simple – If you will work out now and do some light exercises it will benefit you later and you will have lesser aches and pains, sail into labor easily, will remain energetic during pregnancy and will get into shape after the delivery quicker, Now the question is ‘How exactly?’
Exercises are always beneficial if you know which suits your situation best. As you are an expecting mother, it is very important for you to know, that now you cannot work out rigorously like you used to do. Carrying a baby means no jumping around, no twirling on songs beat, no leaps, and no hops. Basically, nothing that makes your belly shake. You also don’t have to lift weights, unless they are cute little dumbbells which can be lifted with just one hand. Exercising is very good idea and will help you to strengthen your muscles and make pregnancy easy. This will also help your baby grow stronger and fit. By doing exercise regularly, it will be easy for you to lose the extra weight that you will gain during pregnancy. Women who exercise regularly ahve been found to have a smooth labor and an easy delivery, and the recovery is also quicker. Pregnancy has all hormones running wild, and exercising will help you stay sane, find your ground and be less anxious.
An expecting mother should first discuss everything about pregnancy and exercises with her physician. If there are chances that you may not have normal pregnancy, then it would be good if you ditch your plan of exercising. Yoga, which does not require a lot of movement, is your only oasis then. Kegel exercises
Some of the common exercises that pregnant women with good chances of normal pregnancy can do are given below.
Other exercises such as light aerobics, cycling, weight training etc. can also be done during pregnancy provided your trainer is an ante-natal exercise specialist. Never continue with your old gymming routine or follow something that worked for someone. Always take your practitioner’s advice.
Remember:Any exercise that needs holding your breath, bouncing, too much stretching, deep knee bends, rapid movement should not be followed by you.
If the weather is hot and humid then also you don’t have to follow your exercise regime strictly. You can schedule those walks for the evenings. Keep yourself hydrated as much as you can and have a healthy diet plan. Also watch your sitting postures. Wish you a happy pregnancy.
