Pregnant women often face a dilemma: how can they stay active and healthy during their pregnancy while avoiding the dangers of excessive exercise? Cardio exercises are an excellent way to keep pregnant mothers feeling great and energized. Here are five of the best cardio exercises for pregnant women.
Swimming
Swimming is a wonderful cardio exercise that many pregnant women enjoy. Pregnant mothers can work on their cardiovascular strength and tone muscles by swimming laps in the pool while enjoying the benefit of weightless resistance as they glide through the water. Swimming might be an excellent choice for those used to working out regularly since it’s an activity that pregnant women can enjoy well into their second trimester.
However, one drawback of swimming is that it does not provide any weight-bearing benefits for strengthening bones or muscles in the lower body. Another thing to consider before you start this exercise is whether there are chlorine fumes present which could irritate your respiratory system during pregnancy.
As with any workout, you should speak to your doctor before starting swimming as a form of exercise if this is new for you. This will help ensure that it is safe and beneficial at the stage in pregnancy where you are currently at.
