The query when to start exercising in pregnancy? is like asking muhurt to help someone, it is always a good time to help someone and in pregnancy you can help your baby by taking care of yourself and keeping fit your mind and body.
Regular exercise is a good thing, it should be started at the time when you were planning for the pregnancy but no worries for couch potatoes (most of us ) too, you can start exercising at any time during your pregnancy. Reports confirm that during pregnancy exercise can improve health of baby and of course momma too, it reduces the risk of excess weight gain and back pain, and it may make delivery easier. So what are you waiting for?
You should start an exercise program in your pregnancy as soon as possible, yes but be sure to review your plan with your doctor and keep in touch with your exercise results etc.
And do keep in mind too that pregnancy is not the time to try to lose weight (patli kamar pe nahi ho nazar ), nor is it a good idea to begin a high intensive exercise . If you are not in any high-risk categories, you can start an exercise program that's appropriate for your fitness level.
Tips for getting started-
1. Slow and steady wins the race
For first couple of weeks do exercise only for just 10 to 15 minutes in a day and when you feel ready to do more, add 5 to 10 minutes and after getting used to this level keep adding 5 to 10 minutes to reach up to 30-45 minutes a day.
2. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush
Do not go for the burn, and don't exercise to exhaustion try to understand your body and its limit, don't push yourself beyond your limits.
3. Fuel to fire
Eat well because you need more energy to perform exercises. The quality and quantity of your diet is tremendously important.
4. Being cool is wise otherwise a fool.
You should avoid working out in hot, or in humid weather because overheating of your body surely going to impact your pregnancy badly.
5. Cheers but only with water
Don’t forget to drink water before, during, and after your workout. Dehydration may contribute to overheating or even trigger contractions.
6. Tanning can be paining
If you will exercise under the sun you may have blotchy areas of darkened skin all over the body because pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. If you exercise outside in open places like parks etc always try to exercise in early morning or after the sunset.
Best pregnancy exercises for beginners can be walking, moderate aerobics, swimming, prenatal yoga & stretching and dancing etc but don’t forget to discuss to your doctor first.
Best of luck!
