86 || MOST FITNESS || JUNE / JULY 2016There are so many changes happening to your body during pregnancy that may impact how you can exercise and how your body moves, but maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best. Regular exercise during pregnancy can provide you with many great benefits, such as, improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts such as backaches and fatigue. It has been proven that physical activity may prevent gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy), relieve stress and build more stamina needed for labor and delivery.If you were physically active before your pregnancy, you should be able to keep up with your activity but in moderation. Don't try to exercise at the same level as you did before; instead, do what's most comfortable for you now. If you have never exercised regularly before, you can safely begin an exercise program during pregnancy but make sure to first consult with your health care provider.
