Staying Active During Your Pregnancy

Easy activities to compliment your pregnancy

Let’s start with some basic guidelines: always choose low-impact exercise. Start by trying for 15 minutes of continuous activity 3 times a week and work your way up to 30 minutes. Aerobic activity is best, and group activity is even better- don’t be afraid to join a pregnancy-specific group at your local gym; it is a great way to make friends and keep you accountable for staying fit. 

As you move on towards the third trimester, you will naturally slow down, but you still need to stay active in small ways. Walk whenever possible, always carry your shopping bags and choose the stairs over an elevator! Think small and you will make a big difference in the way your body and mind interpret and fight back against the discomforts of pregnancy.
