5 top tips for exercising during pregnancy
The first time I was pregnant I tried a personal training session with a new trainer, who I felt was too pushy for my liking at the time, and after that experience I really wanted to find someone who specialised in pre- and postnatal exercise to help me through the last months of my pregnancy and with the post-caesarean recovery. That’s how I came across specialist pre- and postnatal London training company Jelly Belly PT and their at-home pilates service, which turned out to be ideal for me.
For others who are looking for more advice on exercising during pregnancy, here are five top tips from Kellie Moore, founder of Jelly Belly PT:
1. Keep active by either walking or swimming before or after work
2. Listen to your body and only do what feels good
3. Find a suitable pregnancy exercise class–it’s a good opportunity to meet other mums to be
4. Eat a varied diet including complex carbs, fruits, veggies, good fats and protein to ensure you keep your energy levels up
5. Breathe–not only will this relax you, it will also work your core muscles if you emphasise the out breath
