Useful Tips for Doing Exercises during Pregnancy
Pregnant women should avoid high impact activities. Instead, try low to moderate intensity exercises that result in modest increases in heart rate or light sweating. Below are some useful tips to do exercises during pregnancy:
– Wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing to keep yourself comfortable.
– Drink enough water to keep the body well hydrated.
– Wear non-slip, supportive, well-fitting shoes.
– Set and stick to sensible goals.
– Know when to reduce the intensity of exercise or exercise less frequently.
– Breathe well during exercise.
– Stop and take a rest as soon as you feel weak or tired. [7]
