Return to article: How to Exercise Safely While Pregnant
on 4/3/2008 I wasn't into a steady workout routine when I got pregnant so I didn't want to start one up. But I did really enjoy my pregnancy yoga video by Yoga Journal. It was great and I still use some of the exercises from it to loosen up my back when it gets all tight and achy.
on 11/22/2005 I'm still jogging 30 miles a week while in my sixth month (I'm a competitive athlete). As you get bigger, incorporate 3-4 minute walk breaks into your run to help bring your heart rate down and refresh the supply of oxygen to the fetus, giving you and your baby mini catch-up sessions. Also get fitted for a pregnancy support belt. It helps alleviate some of the pressure off your back while exercising.
