As we discussed, while the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says it is generally safe to exercise if you’re healthy and your pregnancy is normal, you should always talk with your doctor to get the official OK and recommendations tailored to your needs.

Once you have your doctor’s ok to workout, where do you begin? Keep reading for a list of good exercise options, exercises you should avoid, precautions to consider, and warning signs to heed.

Exercise during Pregnancy Part 1 - Should I or Shouldn't I?

The days are getting longer and warmer, and, if you’re pregnant, you may be wondering if it’s ok to get outside and exercise. For most pregnant women, the answer is, “yes!” According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), if you’re healthy and your pregnancy is normal, it is safe to start or continue regular exercise.

Of course, you should always discuss your exercise plans with your OB/GYN during early prenatal visits to get the official OK and talk about what exercises are and are not appropriate. If you’d like to know the benefits of exercising while pregnant and some general guidelines, keep reading.
