PREGNANCY & WORKOUT

The number of changes during pregancy can be overwhelming, for some more than others.

 

From the food you eat to the personal care products you put on your body, anything could influence your new state especially with the hormonal changes too, so you must be adaptable.

 

If working out was in your weekly (or daily) routine before your pregnancy, it’s typically still safe for you to continue getting your sweat on with minor tweaks to your fitness session. However it’s important asking your doctor for the OK to work out while you’re pregnant. I want also to advice to ask help of an exeprience trainer, that can lead you to a safe list of exercises and the changes you should make to your usual fitness routine.

 

Remember that maintaining a regular exercise programme throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best and may speed up labour too!

 

It can improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts such as backaches and fatigue. There is evidence that physical activity may prevent gestional diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy), relieve stress, and build more stamina needed for labour and delivery.

 

If you were physically active before your pregnancy, you should be able to continue your activity in moderation. Don't try to exercise at your former level; instead, do what's most comfortable for you now and be adaptable with change in your body, mind and soul.

 

Make space to underatand the needs of you and your baby both.

I higlhy reccomend: stretching, walking, pelvic floor workout, pilates and light conditioning exercises… also massages and healthy eating too, remember pregnancy is not an occossion to over eat and go into a diet.

Working out and have a healthy lifestyle plan will imporve not only your stamina but yor confidence.
