Summer's coming: Exercise Tips for Soon-to-be Moms
Summer’s coming: exercise tips for soon-to-be moms
There’s usually that one thing on every mom-to-be’s mind: our changing bodies. Now it’s May, the sun is shining and you’re probably thinking about rockin’ some cute maternity dresses and skirts. But is it safe for pregnant women to exercise?
The short answer is yes. Exercising during pregnancy has many benefits for both you and your baby, but there are definitely some exercises and positions you should avoid. Here are a few tips for you and your tiny workout buddy, to keep you both safe this summer.
DO work your core. Working your core is safe in the first and second trimester, but there are a few adjustments you should make. Rather than laying flat on your back, try four-point kneeling on your hands and knees and use your elbows to support you when lying on your back or front. This can help minimize disruption of the abdominal wall during pregnancy.
DO use weights. Using weights is will help maintain muscle tone during pregnancy and minimize aches and pains. Just make sure to use lighter weights and reduce range of motion (especially as your baby bump grows). Steer clear of any machine with a pad that presses against your belly.
DO eat enough. Exercise burns calories, so make sure you are eating enough for you and your unborn baby. Talk to your health care provider for information on the amount you need throughout your pregnancy.
DON’T do high-intensity workouts. Your joints are less stable because of a hormone called relaxin released during your pregnancy, so high-intensity exercises are generally unsafe. Modify your high-impact exercises or try low-impact activities like yoga, Pilates, swimming or biking.
DON’T lie on your back after the first trimester. This position can restrict blood flow to and from the heart. Make sure your chest is elevated above your hips, using an incline bench or your elbows.
Lastly, DON’T ignore the feedback from your own body; growing a tiny human is exhausting. Your body knows what it can handle, so listen to it!
Try and make a routine of exercising regularly, so that it’s easier on your body. Summertime is a perfect excuse to go for walks, ride your bike or do some stretching in your backyard. At the end of the day, staying active during your pregnancy will prepare your baby for the stress of labour and help you bounce back quicker after delivering.

My husband and I lost $50,000 worth of Bitcoins and USDT to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. A few months back, we saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency to make huge profits from our investments. We contacted a broker online who was pretending to be an account manager for a Forex trading firm, we invested a huge part of our retirement savings and business money into this platform not realizing it was all a scam to steal away our money. After weeks of trying to withdraw, this broker continued to request more money until we were broke and in debt, it felt as if we were losing our lives. Fortunately for us, we saw an article about Richard Pryce Wizard we were not in a hurry to contact them but we did some research about their services and found out they could help us recover our money from these scammers, we contacted Richard Pryce Wizard and in a space of 72 hours, Richard Pryce Wizard was able to recover everything, this company did a thorough investigation with the information we provided them and ensured that every penny was returned to us, it felt so unreal how they were able to recover everything we have lost.

From my experience, I guess the best way to avoid online scam is by having a very thorough investigation about the subject matter. If i had this advice i would probably have not gone through the ordeal i went through some months past. Binary Options is a blessing to some and curse to many, it almost ruined me. Gracefully, i got in contact with a certified recovery specialist ( Mr Tessy ) who helped me with refunds. I can’t say for any other recovery expert but this ( Mr Tessy ) came to my rescue and I RECOMMEND ONLY his service.
