Keeping your heart healthy is an important part of physical activity, especially during pregnancy. Exercise can help you keep a strong and healthy heart and will help support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy.

• Brisk walking, low-impact sculpting, and other cardiovascular exercises are great for heart health. These activities enhance blood flow, providing essential nutrients and oxygen for you and your growing baby. 
• Improved cardiovascular health can also contribute to better endurance, making daily activities feel less strenuous.
• Exercise during pregnancy supports appropriate maternal and fetal weight gain, ensuring the health of you and your little one.

We always recommend that you consult with your doctors to discuss their recommended exercise intensity and to monitor any conditions like high blood pressure. This will help ensure a healthy pregnancy journey for both you and baby.

As your baby bump grows, your center of gravity shifts, often leading to changes in posture that may contribute to back pain. Engaging in exercises that focus on transverse abdominal core strength and alignment can improve posture and reduce the strain on your back. Gentle stretches and exercises targeting the back, hips, and abdominal muscles can provide much-needed relief.

• Spinal alignment: Incorporating exercises that promote spinal alignment, such as cat-cow stretches, can alleviate pressure on the spine and provide relief from discomfort.
• Enhanced stability: Exercises that challenge balance and stability, learned from prenatal exercise programs or gentle balance poses, can improve core strength and stability, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
• Reduced swelling: Gentle movements and exercises can prevent or alleviate swelling in the extremities, a common discomfort during pregnancy, by encouraging proper fluid circulation.
