Pregnancy Exercises - Fitness App

Exercise during pregnancy is important, because it's the perfect path to faster postpartum weight loss and recovery. Here you'll find easy pregnancy exercises and fitness plans to get you moving (even when it's the last thing your swollen feet want to do). The more active and fit you are during pregnancy, the easier it will be for you to adapt to your changing shape and weight gain. It will also help you to cope with labour and get back into shape after the birth.

Keep up your normal daily physical activity or exercise (sport, running, yoga, dancing, or even walking to the shops and back) for as long as you feel comfortable. Exercise is not dangerous for your baby – there is some evidence that active women are less likely to experience problems in later pregnancy and labour.

Perform all exercises at least three times a week, on alternate days, on a firm (but not too hard) surface, such as an exercise mat. Perform them in the following order. Be sure to breathe normally during all exercises; don't hold your breath. During abdominal exercises, it may be easier to exhale on exertion, that is, inhale when you are down and exhale briskly as you perform the lift. The following exercises work all major muscle groups. Don't skip any!

Avoid doing sports where there's a risk of hitting your bump, or of slipping and falling, such as squash, gymnastics, rollerblading, horse riding and skiing.

Having a fit pregnancy doesn’t have to mean a big time commitment or fancy equipment. The following pregnancy workouts are simple, can be done at home, and are safe to do in each trimester :

Strengthening your core muscles (abs, back, and pelvic floor) is important for sustaining a healthy pregnancy and successful labor. Besides helping you push during childbirth, these muscles also maintain good posture, which can alleviate backaches and sciatica commonly associated with the later stages of pregnancy.
