'You just found out that you are pregnant and you may be wondering, am I allowed to exercise? READMORE: https://www.healthista.com/pilates-pregnancy-keep-active-first-trimester/ Qualified fitness and Pilates instructor Sarah Vrancken puts the record straight and explains why you can definitely continue your fitness routine during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The general rule is that you can continue exercising as you did before you became pregnant. Whatever you were doing, from running to yoga, you can keep your fitness routine as it is. However, there are other factors that may make you feel not up to it such as morning sickness (or general nausea) or feeling very tired. As an instructor, I would always say to listen to your body, but also know that exercise is great for your baby, so once you feel better, try and incorporate some form of movement and exercise into your weekly routine. Pilates is absolutely fantastic during pregnancy, because it focuses on technique and control, engaging your supporting core muscles such as your Transversus Abdominis and your Pelvic Floor, to take pressure off your back and keep your body strong all the way through. This quick Pilates routine is designed to challenge you and build core strength. As the bump grows, your strength needs to grow too as this will help you to stay mobile and pain-free all the way through your pregnancy. If you get into good habits in the first trimester, it makes it all the easier to keep going all the way until the baby is here.
