Avoid strenuous workouts
We have seen videos of expectant women lifting heavy weights and doing intense workouts online. This might have worked out for them without any major issues but that doesn't mean that you should blindly follow what you see others doing.
The best option to stay safe is to avoid any workout that might overwhelm your body. If you're not sure what to do, focus on easy workouts like taking walks and other low impact exercises.
Follow the right routines for your trimester
As the pregnancy progresses, your body becomes less capable of handling certain movements. What you might have been able to do during the first trimester isn't what you will be able to do during your third trimester, and that is why you should modify as your body changes.
So if you're working out at home, make sure you're searching for videos that are appropriate for your trimester.
Practice moderation
It's great to have fitness goals even when you're pregnant. In fact, you should try and do an activity a few times every week to help you stay fit and to keep the baby healthy.
At the same time, you need to practice moderation so only do what your body can handle and don't force yourself to keep up with everything perfectly.
Know the warning signs
To be safe, you need to know the signs that indicate something is off. Sometimes you can try and do everything right but your body might not always agree.
So if you experience dizziness, pain, vaginal bleeding, headaches or any other unusual sign during your workout, you should stop immediately and get some help.
Also, if you're already feeling winded before your workout, you should probably take a break first. It's always best to listen to your body at all times to ensure you and your baby are safe.
