Dear Fitness Expert,
I am 26 years old and 36 weeks pregnant with my first. I was about 25 pounds overweight prior to the pregnancy, and while I realize that I'll be losing quite a bit through delivery and the subsequent few weeks just due to natural processes, I feel absolutely enormous now!
Dear Fitness Expert,
My husband and I are now planning for a baby very soon and want to get our bodies in shape both mentally and physically. I am uncertain if I should join a gym for physical fitness.
Our daily course of work is not physically demanding. My husband is very active in his gym training and has been doing weights for months. I, on the other hand, have been very lazy but I want to do some sort of a physical exercise now. My body mass weight is in proportion to my height. I'm 5'6 and weigh 58kgs.
Dear Fitness Expert,
Hello, I just found out I'm pregnant (not my first) and am not sure about a fitness routine. After my last pregnancy, I worked out six days a week very strenuously for about a year, but have fallen out of my routine the past few months.
How much can I do now that I'm pregnant? I've also gained some weight back, and really want to keep my weight gain during pregnancy under check.
Researchers have noticed that women who begin performing mild to moderate-intensity exercises during pregnancy gain many health benefits if properly supervised.
Exercise during the first couple of months after delivery will help you feel more emotionally stable and reduce hot flashes and night sweats that frequently occur until your ovarian function returns to normal.
Can you exercise during pregnancy? Build muscle? Sure! Exercise will make you feel better and labor easier. So do the exercises -- (correct body dynamics below, watch your temp (in a way you never imagined), drink water and more water throughout and stop just shy of hitting the floor...
