Experts share dos and don’ts of working out pregnant 

Pregnant women are often advised to relax and enjoy the beauty of creating life inside of their bellies. Some women experience uncomfortable body changes and massive weight gain from foods that could potentially cause diabetes.

In an article by the Hindustan Times, experts encouraged pregnant women to be as active as possible as the risk of losing the baby, low birth weight or premature delivery is not increased by regular exercise or physical activity.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Sandhya Mishra, Consultant - Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecologist at Milann Fertility Center in Bengaluru, recommended:

“Aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise while pregnant. This can be divided into five 30-minute workouts each day or even shorter, 10-minute workouts spaced out throughout the day. 

“Your pre-pregnancy fitness level and activity level before getting pregnant will determine how much exercise is appropriate for you. Walking, swimming, low-impact aerobics and prenatal yoga are all appropriate exercises.”

Personal trainer shared health tips

A South African personal trainer, Bonge Gumede, shared how one could stay fit but staying active and eating clean:

“Nutrition matters, but it's the training that tells your body what to do with that fuel. Pair strength training (3-4 times per week is great) with quality meals that match your goal. And if you need to pause training, adjust your food slightly and focus on staying active in other ways until you can get back to it.”
