✔ Walk it out!
Start by walking around your block or at the mall. Invite your partner and children to join you. As it gets easier, walk a little farther each time. If it’s cold or yucky outside, walk inside while you watch TV.

✔ Be a Fish.
Swimming feels great when you’re pregnant because your body feels lighter in the water. Swim a few laps, use a kickboard or try a water aerobics class.

✔ Find a Prenatal Yoga Class.
Ask your gym or local community center if they have a yoga class for pregnant moms. You’ll not only get active — you might also make a few new friends.

✔ Go video!
Look online for exercise videos for pregnant moms or check your library DVDs to be able to exercise on your preferred schedule and at no cost.

✔  Take a Stretch Break.
Challenge yourself to stretch during all the commercial breaks on TV. This is one the whole family can do!

If you were already doing high-impact activities, such as jogging, before you got pregnant, way to go! It is fine to continue as long as your health care provider says it is okay. Avoid anything where you could be hit or kicked, such as basketball, kickboxing or soccer.
