EXERCISING WHILE PREGNANT: THE TOP TIPS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Exercise as a daily routine can help to diminish stress, improve mood, keep your body strong, prevent injury or illness, maintain a healthy weight, assist in adequate sleep - the list goes on. All of these become even more important when you're expecting. Studies have shown that exercising during pregnancy is enormously beneficial to the mother's physical abilities, comfort and energy.

WHAT EXERCISE IS BEST?

Barre is a low impact strength training class that can easily be modified during all stages of pregnancy - whether pre-pregnancy, during, or postpartum. So, it is no surprise that many women are advised by their doctor to choose this type of movement during pregnancy.

Other common options include walking, swimming and stationary cycling. Prenatal yoga and pilates, or even aqua aerobics, can also be great forms of exercise for your changing body.

COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY

It is important to always consult with your doctor regarding your exercise routine while pregnant and make sure it's the smart choice for your body and your capacity. Try not to compare yourself to anyone else because every woman has their own journey. What might be appropriate for a friend may not work well for you. After all, we all have different pregnancies and deliveries, so it's best to simply focus on figuring out what feels right for you without comparing your progress to anyone else's but your own.

FAMILIARITY IS KEY
