So you're pregnant, you're feeling tired, grumpy and uncomfortable. The last thing you want to think about is working out. I'm sorry to tell you this but..... you need to. The majority of women think that it is not necessary and a burden to exercise during pregnancy but the fact is there are a number of benefits acquired from a routine exercise program.

www.babies.sutterhealth.org has provided a list of benefits that you should keep in mind and be aware of:

Benefits of exercise during pregnancy
  • Improved posture and appearance
  • Relief of back pain
  • Stronger muscles in preparation for labor and support for loosened joints
  • Improved circulation
  • Increased flexibility
  • Increased/maintained aerobic endurance
  • Increased energy level and less fatigue
  • Decreased muscle tension that promotes relaxation
  • Promotion of feelings of well-being and a positive self-image
So do yourself and your new born a favor, and up and GET MOVING!!
