App Profile: Exercise During Pregnancy

Exercise during pregnancy works wonders for both you and your baby.
If you are pregnant, it is important to keep moving. Pregnant women who get enough exercise have less back pain and more energy. Post-deliver you will return faster to your pre-pregnancy shape.

The app contains exercises suitable for pregnant women.
The exercises are done at home by using dumbbells, a body band (dynaband, or resistance band) and an exercise ball (Swiss ball).

Even as a beginner you can perform each exercise in this app.

Strengthen your body for pregnancy and beyond with these safe exercises you can most likely do right up until the day you deliver. As long as you take the necessary precautions and use good technique (meaning slow, controlled movements), weight training is a great way to tone and strengthen your muscles. Building strength during pregnancy will help prepare you for all the baby lifting you'll be doing soon!

Regular exercise as a pregnant woman will:
- Help you to carry the weight you gain in pregnancy.
- Prepare you for the physical challenge of labour and birth.
- Improve your mood, and give you energy.
- It can help you to sleep better.
- Make getting back into shape after your baby is born easier.
