• What Are The Right Kinds Of Exercises Recommended For You?

✓ Exercise is a great way of toning and keeping your body fit during pregnancy. However, you need to consult your doctor before you take up any exercise. While swimming and walking are generally considered safe all through the term, other forms of work-outs like yoga, aerobics or gym activities have to be undertaken only under expert supervision. The exercise regime has to match your pregnancy trimester and your body type as well. If you have medical conditions like asthma, bleeding or cervical issues, then you should avoid any form of strenuous activity.
