EXCERCISE DURING SECOND TRIMESTER



As i mentioned in the previous post, warm up of atleast 15-20minutes before perfoming excercise is a must. 
Here are few examples of excercises you could perform. Also, Swimming and walking are considered the safest and best cardio excercises for pregnant women as it keeps your body tones and do not add weight or stress to your joints. Just avoid other water sports.
Excercise can make your pregnancy much more enjoyable. Focus on maintaining your previous level of fitness rather than on advancing it. 
Stretching also is one of the best ways to keep you relaxed in your pregnancy. Always avoid jerky or bounce motions during stretching. Control your breathing. Remember to stretch your entire body, especially the heel cords to prevent leg cramping.
After FOURTH month, avoid lying flat on your back or on your right side while relaxing, as this position restricts the blood flow of uterus.
