Prenatal Excercise: Good for Mom and good for Baby
Darlene Turner - Lee 1 year, 12 months ago
Exercise is an important part of good health and when women become pregnant, regular fitness routines should not automatically be abandoned. Pregnant women and their babies both benefit greatly when mom engages in regular moderate exercise. Women who are considered at low risk for complications and are in good physical health can continue to exercise throughout pregnancy as long as they modify their exercise routines to compensate for their changing physiques. Women who are not regular exercisers can begin a walking program, swim, ride a stationary bicycle or participate in structured prenatal fitness programs.
