Although many expecting mothers view pregnancy as a reprieve from exercise, exercising while pregnant can be a great way to stay fit, keep off excess baby weight, and avoid some of the health challenges associated with pregnancy. Now that is not to say that you want to train for a marathon while pregnant, but just like any other part of maintaining good healthy, exercising does have its place, even during pregnancy. Basic, low impact exercise can go a long way to making your pregnancy a relatively pleasant and happy experience.

So while pregnant, what are your fitness options?

If you are already spend time in the gym, the simply keep going, but ease up on the strenuous part of the exercise. You can still work up a sweat, but don’t try to break any records for speed, endurance, or strength. For the rest of us, there are a number of great low-impact exercises that you can do during pregnancy. If you are like me, walking is a fantastic way to stay fit while pregnant, and can be a great stress reliever. If you have bad knees and access to a pool, water calisthenics can be a great low-impact workout and a lot of fun. If you are looking for something a little less traditional, doing prenatal yoga can be a great way to stretch, stay fit, and center yourself during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is my personal favorite because in addition to helping you maintain some muscle tone, it also helps you focus on your breathing and relation techniques. Both of which are paramount to getting through labor. Prenatal yoga is also great because it is a little more social than some of the more solitary forms of exercise and it provides a source of center and peace. Regardless of your choice, you should exercise while pregnant. Many women take the opportunity of early pregnancy to increase calories; after all, you are eating for two. However, as much as proper nutrition, proper fitness during pregnancy can help create a healthy and happy baby.
