A Perfectly Fit Pregnancy
Staying Fit the Safe Way
By Teri Brown
Susanne De Costerd, a physical therapist for the Stone Clinic, a sports medicine facility in San Francisco, Calif., says most activities your body is used to can be continued throughout your pregnancy, but there are a few you should watch out for. "High-impact activities such as jumping and high-risk activities such as rollerblading and/or skiing are not recommended," she says. "Usually high-level athletes or people who are experienced in their sport can get away with more, especially in the first trimester, but heavy weight lifting is a definite no-no."
Your active lifestyle doesn't have to stop while you're pregnant. Working out and keeping physically fit is more important than ever now that your lifestyle is undergoing such an amazing change. Both you and your baby can benefit from safe and enjoyable activity.
