We have been advising for years expectant mothers to limit exercise and be more relaxed, despite the positive effects we know exercise has on the body and spirit. Exercising in Pregnancy
So how much exercise is okay and what exercises are appropriate during pregnancy?
Gymnastics during duration of pregnancy is a controversial issue. Serena Williams, winner of 23 tennis championships, made headlines worldwide when she announced that she would continue to play sports throughout her pregnancy.
And it is true that pregnant women are treated as if they are sick and often feel like they are under detention. We advise them to relax, avoid great fatigue and minimize bending and stretching so that nothing happens to the baby. Even in those early months when the body does not show any signs of pregnancy, there are many doubts about whether expectant mothers should remain active.
New researches
But new research, through modern imaging techniques in different parts of the world, shows that mild form of exercise during pregnancy is necessary to relieve or reduce the risk of diabetes, hypertension, excess weight gain and cardiorespiratory problems. So do not hesitate to exercise even in the wonderful period of pregnancy, but keeping in mind the following tips. Exercising in Pregnancy
• Emphasize the frequency, intensity and duration of the exercise and always check how you feel.
•Be careful not to overheat, stay hydrated and stop immediately if you feel dizzy. You have permission these nine months to give your body only what it needs.
•Don't do exercises that affect your balance or that put too much strain on your hips, knees and ankles.
The better you treat your body during this time, the better it will treat you postnatally.
•Also pay attention to weights. Although doctors advise against lifting weights at all, this is not always practical or desirable. However, the body needs to stay strong during pregnancy, so avoid lifting heavy objects above your head.
• In the third trimester of pregnancy, exercises such as yoga and muscle strengthening are recommended for the upcoming birth.
Conclusion
Our experience tells us that there is a strong connection between physical and mental health and, as shown by research results from the University of Southampton, moderate exercise is associated with lower rates of postpartum depression.
So if you feel stressed or stressed breathe properly. Gymnastics is the only one that will teach you how to do it.
Below you will see in photos some exercises that are suitable for the period of pregnancy.
