]]> While being pregnant may come with its challenges, you don’t necessarily have to give up your physical activity so long as you do it in the right way. Here are some of the most effective yet safe workouts that you can do while pregnant.

Ellipticals and Rowing Machines

Elliptical and rowing machines can prove comfortable to use while pregnant. Make sure to set the machine to the right speed, incline, and tension levels that are comfortable for you so that you don’t experience any pain as you work toward your fitness goals. Elliptical machines are particularly helpful for alleviating back pain during your pregnancy.

Low-Impact Dances

If you enjoy classes such as Zumba, then these could prove to be effective ways to work out while also making some fitness friends. It still remains crucial, however, to monitor how well your body is coping and avoid exercises that are too strenuous and require too much balance.

Indoor Cycling

So long as you make sure to go slowly and not overexert yourself, indoor cycling is an effective way to stay in shape. What’s great is that you can pedal at your own pace, thereby ensuring that you only do what you’re comfortable with.

]]> Pregnancy is a period filled with anticipation, excitement, and many changes. While it’s common to focus on the growth and development of the baby, it’s equally important to prioritize your own health and well-being during this precious time. Staying fit during pregnancy not only benefits you but also sets the foundation for a healthier journey for both you and your baby. Let’s explore some key tips for maintaining fitness and nurturing your body throughout pregnancy.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider

Before embarking on any exercise routine during pregnancy, it’s crucial to consult your healthcare provider. They will assess your individual health and provide guidance based on any potential risks or considerations. Every pregnancy is unique, and your healthcare provider can offer personalized advice tailored to your specific needs.

Embrace Low-Impact Exercises

During pregnancy, it’s recommended to engage in low-impact exercises that are gentle on your joints and accommodate your changing body. Activities such as walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, and Pilates can help maintain cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and muscle tone without placing excessive strain on your body.

Listen to Your Body

Pregnancy is a time when your body undergoes various physical and hormonal changes. It’s essential to tune in and listen to what your body needs. If you feel discomfort, pain, or excessive fatigue during exercise, it’s crucial to modify or take a break. Pay attention to your body’s cues and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a safe and comfortable workout.

Prioritize Core and Pelvic Floor Exercises

As your baby grows, your core and pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in supporting your changing body. Incorporating exercises specifically designed to strengthen these areas can help improve stability, posture, and reduce the risk of pregnancy-related conditions such as diastasis recti and urinary incontinence. Consult with a qualified prenatal fitness specialist to learn proper techniques for these exercises.

Stay Hydrated and Fuel Your Body

Proper hydration and nutrition are essential for both you and your growing baby. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before, during, and after exercise. Opt for nutrient-dense foods that provide a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals. Consult a registered dietitian or nutritionist to ensure you’re meeting your specific nutritional needs during pregnancy.

]]> Pregnancy changes a lot of things in a woman’s life, especially the first pregnancy. Suddenly, you’re not just responsible for your own health, but for another human being growing inside you. This can make you anxious and worried about what you should eat and how much you should eat. You’ll often hear that pregnant ladies need to eat for two, but how true is this?

Pregnancy requires you to intake more calcium, iron, protein, and folic acid compared to when you’re not pregnant. If you eat a balanced diet, simply eating more food will likely help you get enough of these nutrients. But during the process, you will also intake plenty of calories that you and your baby don’t really need, so you may gain lots of weight. That’s why you shouldn’t take eating for two literally, but be smart about it and only increase the intake of these useful nutrients.

Your unborn baby definitely doesn’t need as many calories as an adult person. During the first trimester, you can continue eating as usual and you can increase daily calories for 350-450 for the rest of the pregnancy. The baby will typically take everything it needs from you, so it’s important to make sure you don’t lack vitamins and other necessary nutrients.

]]> Iggy Azalea became a mom back in June, and her pregnancy wasn’t the only thing that took people by surprise. The Australian rapper quickly bounced back and credits her amazing post-baby body to a clean diet she maintained throughout her pregnancy.

Azalea recently showed off her lean figure in one of her Instagram posts, and her fans started wondering about her diet and workout routine. It’s been less than two months since the singer announced the birth of her son, but it seems like she’s in the best shape of her life.

Azalea decided to share her secret with her Twitter followers but admitted it was “realllly hard” to stay in shape during pregnancy.

“I ate ‘clean’ the entire time, no cheating. As hard as it was mentally to not indulge in weird cravings, I knew I’d be glad afterwards and my baby was 9.4lbs so he’s healthy and happy,” wrote the rapper.

Azalea didn’t share any details about her fitness routine, but it’s been reported that she works out several times a week, does a lot of lunges, squats, and cardio, and avoids processed foods, carbs, and sweets.

ʷᵉʳᵇᵘⁿᵍ I read a few comments and DMs the other day asking me how I keep up with my practice being pregnant and that it’s awesome that I can still do all these things. And to be honest, I was a little dumbfounded: because I can’t. 😄 I can’t keep up. It’s not easy to move every day. I can’t do all the things anymore that I did before. I show you my personal highlights. The things I am grateful to be able to do in the moment. It would be a little boring if I filmed legs up the wall for five minutes. Or how I sat on my mat unsuccessfully trying to do breathing exercises. Or how I watch Netflix at night with a pillow under my legs and the biggest comfy pajamas I can find. I also wouldn’t film myself going for a veeeeeeery slow walk or show you the leftover spaghetti I just had. It’s not that interesting believe me. 😅 But let me tell you this, 80 percent of the time I don’t go full speed asana. Just so you know. I am not in any way a pregnant super human over here.

Body Awareness

Sometimes, pregnancy can become easier when you become more aware of your whole body. Yoga is a great way to achieve this as it will shake you up physically and mentally.

Physical Health

It’s a good idea to strengthen your body before pregnancy and yoga may be just perfect for this. Yoga is gentle enough even for beginners and it will stretch your body and help you build muscles, depending on the movements you practice.

Better Hormones

Yoga, just like any physical activity, can benefit the hormones that may be preventing pregnancy from happening. It releases your body from stress and keeps the blood flowing, so it’s definitely worth a try.

Each woman’s pregnancy differs and we suggest asking your doctor what’s best for you. We have come up with some exercise to do while you are pregnant.

Exercising during pregnancy is definitely a good idea, but you have to consult your doctor first. All women have different pregnancies, which means the workout routine must be individually modified. For example, if you have a risky pregnancy, you will probably be advised to rest at home. We suggest exercising at a lower intensity and making sure to stay hydrated, in order to keep the temperature of your body at normal levels.

]]> Working out throughout the pregnancy has the power to lift you up and prepare you for labor when the time comes. It can be amazing for both you and the baby, as long as you’re cautious and pick the right routine. Here are a few useful tips that can help you keep your pregnancy workouts risk-free.

Say “no” to dangerous sports

This one goes without saying – sports that put both you and your baby at risk are an absolute no-no. No matter how much you like surfing or skiing, you can probably go without them for nine months.

Know your limits

If you’re used to pushing yourself too hard during your regular workouts, you’ll have to learn how to be kinder to your body once the baby’s on the way. If you feel exhausted, hurt or completely drained it’s probably best to stop and rest.

Talk to your doctor

If you used to work out on regular basis before getting pregnant, it’s probably safe to say you’ll be able to keep going. That’s not always the case, so it’s best to seek advice from your doctor to make sure it’s ok to carry on.

Avoid lying flat on your back

After you’ve reached the second trimester, exercises that require you to lie down flat on your back shouldn’t be a part of your fitness routine. They can make you dizzy and nauseated and reduce blood flow to your heart, brain, and uterus.

View this post on Instagram

FITNESS AND EXERCISE – Exercising your core during pregnancy has a number of benefits – and toned core muscles can be especially helpful for the pushing needed during labour. Strong abdominals, pelvic and back muscles can even help towards a speedier recovery after childbirth, as well. – However, it's important you choose the right pregnancy exercises to keep you and your baby safe.

Steer clear of heat and humidity

Getting overheated during your workouts can lead to increased blood flow. That’s why you should always exercise somewhere with air-conditioning and pick the right clothes for your workouts. Saunas or hot tubs are also a no-go.

]]> Working out throughout the pregnancy has the power to lift you up and prepare you for labor when the time comes. It can be amazing for both you and the baby, as long as you’re cautious and pick the right routine. Here are a few useful tips that can help you keep your pregnancy workouts risk-free.

Say “no” to dangerous sports

This one goes without saying – sports that put both you and your baby at risk are an absolute no-no. No matter how much you like surfing or skiing, you can probably go without them for nine months.

Know your limits

If you’re used to pushing yourself too hard during your regular workouts, you’ll have to learn how to be kinder to your body once the baby’s on the way. If you feel exhausted, hurt or completely drained it’s probably best to stop and rest.

Talk to your doctor

If you used to work out on regular basis before getting pregnant, it’s probably safe to say you’ll be able to keep going. That’s not always the case, so it’s best to seek advice from your doctor to make sure it’s ok to carry on.

Avoid lying flat on your back

After you’ve reached the second trimester, exercises that require you to lie down flat on your back shouldn’t be a part of your fitness routine. They can make you dizzy and nauseated and reduce blood flow to your heart, brain, and uterus.

Steer clear of heat and humidity

Getting overheated during your workouts can lead to increased blood flow. That’s why you should always exercise somewhere with air-conditioning and pick the right clothes for your workouts. Saunas or hot tubs are also a no-go.
