CAN YOU EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY?
Yes, if you're in good health and your pregnancy is progressing without problems. However, it's essential to discuss this with your gynecologist first and avoid any exercise until he or she has given your doctor's approval.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY?
Exercise during pregnancy has many benefits. Most importantly, it prevents excessive weight gain. But that's not all...
IS EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY GOOD FOR BACK PAIN?
Yes! Our trainer Sara's workout video features specific exercises to reduce back pain. Back pain during pregnancy is often localized in the lower back, near the kidneys. The cause of back pain is a shift in the body's center of gravity. Our workout also focuses on mobility in that area of the body, which can cause many problems during pregnancy.
DOES EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY REDUCE CONSTIPATION?
Certainly, our workout is also very useful for reducing constipation. Progesterone also affects the intestines, slowing intestinal transit. This can cause constipation or worsen the condition for women who already suffer from it. Therefore, in addition to a fiber-rich diet, light exercise can be very helpful in resolving this unpleasant situation.
WHAT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN I DO DURING PREGNANCY?
The most recommended activities (always and only with the gynecologist's approval) are aerobic ones.
HOW TO KNOW IF WE'RE FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PACE?
One exercise to try is this: if you can talk easily during the activity, then that's the right pace.
HOW LONG SHOULD WORKOUT DURING PREGNANCY?
Again, your gynecologist's opinion is essential. It's recommended to gradually increase your workout, perhaps by 5 minutes at a time, up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
WHAT SPORTS SHOULD I DO DURING PREGNANCY?
In addition to our workouts, you can walk during pregnancy, even briskly, if your gynecologist approves. If you suffer from back pain, swimming is the perfect sport for you; thanks to the weightlessness of water, you can rest your back. However, all contact sports, such as boxing and martial arts, are not recommended.
CAN YOU DANCE DURING PREGNANCY?
Anyway, your gynecologist's advice is essential. Ballroom dances, such as ballroom dancing, are generally safe during pregnancy.
CAN YOU LIFT WEIGHTS DURING PREGNANCY?
Weight lifting is not recommended for many reasons, including increased internal cardiac pressure, blood pressure, and the possibility of worsening back pain and causing injury. Our Sara's workout, however, doesn't involve the use of any weights, making it perfect for avoiding all these dangerous problems.
