A study released today confirms that exercising during pregnancy is beneficial to the development of the fetus. The study states that moderate aerobic exercise, like vigourous walking and using a stationary bike, 30 minutes at least 3 times per week increased fetal nervous system development and heart health. The caveat: do NOT over-exercise! Maintaining a heart rate above 130 bpm in the mother was shown to be detrimental to the unborn baby, reducing it's supply of oxygen.
So what do you take away from this?? Preventing pregnancy weight gain via exercise can also help your baby! So now there's no excuse to delay signing up for that pre-natal yoga class...
NOTE: Remember to check with you doctor before you start any exercise regimen.
