Weight loss in Pregnancy

Exercising during pregnancy can help control weight and relieve back pain and circulatory problems. However, some exercises are contraindicated in this phase.

Pregnancy is not a good time to start doing any sport. Women who are accustomed to can continue to do so, provided your pregnancy is normal and the activity does not require major efforts in exercise of the mother or have a risk that the mother suffers a fall or trauma.

Exercise Tips

* We must reduce the intensity, can not exceed 110-120 beats per minute.

* We must stop if you feel symptoms of fatigue (cramps, contracture ...) or breathing difficulties, as it may be lacking oxygen to the baby.

* In the third quarter is better not to play sports.

* The exercise is completely contraindicated if complications arise during pregnancy.

* The competitive sport is strongly discouraged.

What sports practice

* Swimming: is a beneficial exercise during pregnancy, except styles of breaststroke and front crawl, which could cause back pain. You can swim in the sea where the water is clean, warm and no big waves. On the beaches filled with people in which people play the ball, the pregnant woman is not very safe.

* Gymnastics: gymnastics if pre-pregnancy weight, you can do so in a normal pregnancy. Of course, the meetings should be shorter, the pregnancy abdominal exercises less intense and much lighter weight.

* Tennis is one sport inconvenient. Are discouraged from week 20 th, or sooner if complications arise. Never try to compete or hard ball.

* Skiing: skiing is also contraindicated because the risk of falls is very high and sudden and intense efforts are needed.

I can do aerobics?

If aerobics before becoming pregnant, you can continue doing some exercises ( pregnancy abdominal exercises ), but without trying to keep pace with the group and taking some precautions:

* Avoid jumping.

* Control of heart rate.

* Rest at the slightest sign of fatigue.

* Consultation with a gynecologist if I should or not do certain exercises with the increase in the gut.

A gentler alternative is the aquayim (gymnastics in the water) because the impact and stretching are mitigated by the absence of gravity that produces water and exercise in pregnancy becomes relaxing.

Is it wrong to run?

If you're used to running, you can continue to do so long as you have in mind:

* Get off the frequency and speed. In addition, you must stop at the first signs of fatigue.

* The shoes have to be special for the impact of the foot to the floor is not very sharp.

* The land can not be too hard or have steep slopes.
