The importance of been fit and healthy during pregnancy is so crucial. Some
women have difficulty maintain a healthy regime. But this does not have to be the
case. Staying fit is not all about running and jumping around like a lunatic. Here
are 3 simple ways to exercise and keep fit without breaking your back or your bank
balance.

walking. Stand tall and don‟t hunch your shoulders. Try to keep your arms relaxed
and swing them forwards and backwards.
Be careful to avoid walking outdoors when it is very hot and always carry a bottle
of water with you. You want to avoid your heart-rate souring, so keep away from
steep hills and make sure you‟re wearing comfortable shoes which offer good
support. If the weather does not permit, you can use a treadmill indoors, but
remember to keep your balance!
2. Swimming.
Swimming is a great overall form of exercise and particularly during the later
stages of pregnancy, as walking can become a bit uncomfortable. Being in the
water is great because it supports your weight and helps take the pressure of your
lower back.

much less pressure put on your joints. If has also been found that swelling can be
reduced through regular swimming and of course it has a calming effect on the
body which is of great benefit.

comfortable and breathable clothes and ALWAYS have your bottle of water on
hand.
