Often if we take time off for pregnancy or any other reason, we stop completely. I know plenty of people who thought they would only stop exercising for a few months, but the few months became a year and that one year became a few years. I know of mom who is trying to take off the “baby fat” and her daughter is 11 years old!
So if your physician ok’s it, the best thing to do is continue to exercise, appropriately,throughout your pre natal months!
There are many reasons to exercise:
It can save your life! Being active reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and endometrial, colon and breast cancers!
You’ll feel less stressed and be happier. Exercise has been shown to improve mood and decrease anxiety.
Exercise may be more effective than drugs in treating mild to moderate depression
It strengthens your bones! Exercise increases bone density, helping prevent osteoporosis! (British Journal of Sports Medicine)
