🚨 Providing your pregnancy is considered low risk, you are encouraged to exercise throughout each trimester🥰
🌟 Here are 5 reasons to exercise during pregnancy…
1. Exercise reduces the risk of gestational diabetes by reducing and managing blood sugar levels (RCOG, 2021)🤰🏻
2. Exercise improves mood and sleep with the release of endorphins! 🤰
3. Maintains fitness levels and improves CV fitness…If you were active before GREAT! Continuing to exercise during your pregnancy will maintain your CV levels but you may need to modify your current training to suit your trimester. For those who are just starting, your heart and lungs will thank you🤰🏼
4. Exercise improves posture and reduces back & hip pain..it’s obvious your body will change shape due to your bump, and this will add pressure to your spine, hips and organs. Exercise can alleviate the pressure by strengthening your muscles and bone density! 🤰🏽
5. Last but not least, exercise can help your body prepare for birth.. Working on core strength (not abs!!) and pelvic floor strength will help promote control during childbirth! 🤰🏿
