Sports during pregnancy: what is allowed and what is not?

We learned what sports are useful for pregnant women, what to look for and how often to do exercises.

Will sports be postponed?

Doctors advise listening only to their direct recommendations. But in the absence of contraindications, wisely selected regular sports are only beneficial: they improve the activity of the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, and have a positive effect on metabolism.

How to practice?

The main things you should pay attention to are the muscles of the back (in particular, the lower back), calf muscles, muscles of the foot and inner thigh. There are also specific types of loading. For example, Kegel exercise (on the muscles of the pelvic floor).

What sports to choose?

The main thing is to do it in a dosed way, without excessive stress. The longer the period, the more careful you should be. If you boxed before pregnancy, you can continue, but you need to reduce the load. Swimming is perfect, stretching, exercises in the gym are very useful. But all this with the permission of a doctor or coach (if he has the appropriate education).

How often to practice?

Regularly. If we have chosen some average training pace (for example, 3 days a week), then try to stick to it. So that there are no breaks for a week, because each time starting training again means exposing the body to unnecessary stress.
