Issues that will affect exercise throughout your first trimester:

1. breast tenderness & swelling
2. increased body heat

How to deal with these issues:

1. Wear a well fitted, supportive bra
2. Exercise in the cool of the day, work out in an air conditioned spot, wear cool clothing,
3. drink plenty of water before, during and after your workout.
4. Use a heart rate monitor to keep intensity at the appropriate level, stop exercise before becoming fatigued
5. Eat a small snack of simple carbohydrates (i.e.: crackers) an hour before working out, try it and see if you feel better once you start exercising. Exercise will often help eliminate or make nausea better
