Simple Pregnancy Exercises For Every Trimester

Experts agree that when you’re pregnant, you should keep moving for your health and the health of your baby. Women who are expecting experience reduced back pain, more energy, and better feelings about their bodies. They also delivery easier and recover quicker. Staying fit during pregnancy doesn’t require you to do extensive workouts, you simply need to move in ways that stretch your frame and keep it healthy. Pregnancy exercises for every trimester can be slow and gentle exercises like these:

Outer and Inner Thigh Raise

First, lay down on your left side while supporting your head with your forearm. Then, bend your left leg at approximately a 45-degree angle while keeping your right leg straight in front of you. Place your other arm gently down to keep you stable, and then life your right leg about as high as your hip. Do 5 leg lifts. Repeat on the other side, and do a total of 3 sets on each side.

Plié

Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, using a wall or sturdy chair behind you to give you support if needed. Turn your toes and knees outward 45 degrees, and pull your bottom and belly in. Bend your knees in a fluid motion so that you lower your torso while keeping your back straight. Go as far down as you can, not further than your thighs appearing parallel with the ground, and then come back up. Repeat for 5 pliés.

Curls

Sit on the edge of a stable chair. Keep your back straight and your feet placed firmly on the floor. Hold a 5-pound weight in each of your hands and let your arms dangle toward the floor. One at a time, raise your hand with your palms facing up, bending at the elbows. Slowly release back to the starting position. Do a total of 10 curls.
