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.

You don’t have to ditch your habits just because you are pregnant, at least not the good ones. Training is always a good idea and cardio or running will not harm you, but here are a couple of things to keep in mind about training while pregnant.

Gaining Weight

You are eating for two now, so you shouldn’t panic about gaining weight, because it’s completely normal. The goal is not to lose weight, it’s to maintain your current fitness level. Keep up to your pre-pregnancy routine if possible and if you want to add something new, first consult with your doctor and trainer about yours and your baby’s health.

Working Out Gets Harder

All mommies know that you feel tired all the time during the first four months of pregnancy, so don’t be surprised if you just don’t have as much strength and stamina as you used to.

No Laying Down

Not only does it put a lot of pressure on your back, but laying down also gets you in the position where your enlarged uterus and fetus can easily compress your vena cava, which delivers blood to the heart and it can result in dizziness and fainting.

We all know it’s important to be active throughout our lifetime, but how about when you are pregnant? Is it okay to workout when you are pregnant? 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.

Best Types Of Workouts

Some of the best exercises for pregnant woman are yoga, pilates, low-intensity strength exercises, and water workouts.

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.
