Room to Room Fitness

Exercise Your Way
Around the House

By Charlene Torkelson, Fitness Expert

Work Release
During pregnancy you may find your feet and hands swell from retention of fluids. It may even be difficult to wear jewelry or some of your favorite shoes. While you are sitting at your desk in the office or at home, do some hand and finger exercises. Begin by just wriggling your fingers. Now clench your fists and open them, splaying your fingers. Clench and splay several times holding each position for a count of five.

Getting Fit While You Sit

To find more exercises you can do from room to room, check out the book Get Fit While You Sit: Easy Workouts from Your Chair (Hunter House Pub., 1999) by Charlene Torkelson. The exercises are easy and comfortable with just the right support for pregnant women. They also are great for after the birth when you may find a few time restrictions in your busy schedule.
