Ideas for Exercise?

Question

Looking for some good exercise ideas to be active during pregnancy but without being too hard on my body. I'm not very active at all so I've just been walking but thinking of adding in yoga. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Answer

You can do Pure Barre or any type of bar type class. It's a mix of Pilates, yoga and ballet. It's low impact and uses very small isometric movements that help you build muscle and maintain a slender shape. You just need to make sure to breathe throughout. I see pregnant women in class all the time and then immediately postpartum. They have modified movements for pregnant participants. I'm 5 weeks and 4 days and plan on continuing barre along with my 2 mile weekend jogs.

Answer

Walking is good. That is my main source of exercise. I'm nervous to exercise this early on, but I'm sure it is good for us! I have a pregnancy exercise DVD I'm hoping to use. Maybe you can find a pregnancy yoga DVD?
