Pelvic Squats:

After the first trimester avoid exercises that open up the pelvis, such as side lunges and squats.  During pregnancy, the body releases the hormone elastin, which loosens the ligaments in the pelvis for birth.  Undue strain on the pelvic area can cause symphis pubis dysfunction, a condition causing more pain and mobility problems.

Exercises on Your Back:

During the second trimester and third trimester, you should avoid all exercises that involve lying on your back.  The additional weight you are carrying can put added pressure on the arteries, restricting blood flow to the womb and bak to the heart; this can make you feel light-headed and breathless.

High-Impact Aerobics:

Any exercise causing you to overheat and raising your pulse above 140 bpm is potentially harmful to both yourself and your baby.  Dance-type classes, particularly those that use equipment such as a step, require good balance, and as this is affected by pregnancy, so there’s an increased risk of falling.

These are just a few ideas and before proceeding with any exercise program, be sure to consult with your physician.

Exercises that ARE recommended are as follows:

Moderate Cardio:

Moderate use of the cross trainer, exercise bike and treadmill during pregnancy is fine, as long as you feel comfortable and don’t become overheated.  Most mothers-to-be stop using the treadmill when they hit the third trimester as they just feel too heavy.

Weights:

One of the best ways to stay fit during pregnancy is to do strength training work.  It keeps the body toned and burns fat more effectively that cardio.  So if you are familiar with using weights, try a mixture of cables and barbells, perhaps sitting on a bench of a ball.  Aim for 12-15 reps of each muscle group.

Off the Floor Work:

A great exercise is called Around the World.  Get onto all fours, and lift each arm and leg in turn.  This is great for all-around strength and tightening the pelvic floor.  The ‘cat’ yoga stretch is also good for helping your baby into a good position for labor.

These are just a few ideas and before proceeding with any exercise program, be sure to consult with your physician.  Watch for part two in our series next week where we will cover those exercises that are NOT recommended.
