You just received the AMAZING news\u2026 you\u2019re going to be a mommy! This may not be\u00a0your first pregnancy, but you are sure to be flooded with new information on what you should or shouldn\u2019t be doing during the next nine months! It is hard to wrap your head around it all, making it easier to do nothing out of the\u00a0ordinary, like exercising!<\/p>\n
It is common to hear that\u00a0exercising during pregnancy can lead to\u00a0miscarriage, but for a normal pregnancy that is not\u00a0the case! The reality is that exercise DURING\u00a0pregnancy can have awesome benefits for both\u00a0YOU and BABY!<\/p>\n
However, you should always consult with your physician before starting exercise, to ensure that is is safe for yourself and your child.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Once you are a \u2018GO\u2019 for exercise, your Burn Trainer\u00a0is prepared to help keep you safe while giving you\u00a0a great workout! Exercise during pregnancy is NOT\u00a0about weight loss, but it will likely help you lose\u00a0weight after delivery. What can ‘Burnin’ with a Baby Bump’\u00a0do for you?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It will be no surprise to know that exercise will increase your heartrate which improves\u00a0blood circulation throughout the body! This helps the body get necessary blood flow to areas of\u00a0the body further from the heart (i.e. legs, ankles, and colon) that become neglected because, like the fact that you\u00a0will do ANYTHING for your child, so will your body! The fetus gets the important blood and\u00a0nutrients first while, without optimal circulation, other body parts receive less.<\/p>\n Prevents Back Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n As the beautiful baby bump grows, your back muscles sometimes can\u2019t keep up, causing\u00a0annoying back pain. With exercise, you help to strengthen those important back muscles that\u00a0support your posture, which leads to significantly less back pain! How great is that!?<\/p>\n Increase Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n It is very common for pregnancy to lead you to feeling less energetic! With an improved\u00a0cardiovascular system, better blood circulation, and increased strength, exercise requires less effort.\u00a0This means MORE energy for other things you want to do in your day!<\/p>\n Better Sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n Exercise can help burn off excess energy that may keep you up later, usually causing tossing and turning throughout the night. If it is not 3 hours before you go to bed, exercise\u00a0aids in efficient hormone regulation, leading to a more restful, deeper sleep!<\/p>\n Improved Labor<\/strong><\/p>\n While exercise typically doesn\u2019t make labor less painful, it does help prepare you for\u00a0labor! Your increased endurance and strength from exercise has been shown to aid women in\u00a0managing pain and decreasing exhaustion. Women who exercise during pregnancy also tend to\u00a0have fewer medical interventions along with a quicker labor duration!<\/p>\n Healthier Fetus<\/strong><\/p>\n According to study published in PM&R Journal, women who exercise regularly during\u00a0pregnancy carried a healthier fetus! The found lower resting heart rate, increased amniotic\u00a0fluid, and even an indication of protection against preeclampsia. Remember that there are still limitations with\u00a0exercising while pregnant, especially with exercise\u00a0intensity!<\/p>\n To learn more about exercising while\u00a0pregnant, get some advice from Burn Co-Founder\u00a0Morgan Kline on BurnTV with the DO and DON\u2019T\u00a0pregnancy exercises!<\/p>\n The #1 goal is to protect both YOU and\u00a0BABY while enhancing the health of both!
