  • Why Is Exercise Important During Preconception?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    We are planning to conceive. Please tell me if it is safe to do brisk walking? What about dance as I'm fond of dancing? Can do some exercise to keep in shape? What other things we should keep in mind so that I may conceive well in time.

    With regards,

    Many thanks in advance,

  • Newly Pregnant; Okay to Start Walking?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    I am about 4 weeks right now and I was wondering if I could start walking every day.

    I have been active in the past, lifting weights and running about 2-3 times a week. However, I hurt my back this summer and have been unable to do very much. I was just getting back in the groove when I found out I was pregnant.
