With Kegal exercise, your pregnancy can be more comfortable
before, during, and after your baby is born. With the proper kegal
exercise, you can strengthen
the vaginal muscles and allow for smoother pregnancy. Kegal
exercises strengthen your pelvic muscles, which become weakened
during childbirth. This could lead to bladder control problems.
To find the correct muscles to target, pretend that you are trying
to stop urinating. Squeeze those muscles for a few seconds and then
relax. Repeat this every few seconds. It's as simple as that. Nobody
even has to know that you're doing them. Just make sure you breathe
while doing the kegal exercises.
It's important that you don't overdo your kegel exercise in the
first few weeks after birth. Otherwise, you may become very sore.
Three sets of ten repetitions per day is probably ideal.
So, What are some other healthy exercises that can be performed
during pregnancy? Some of
the best ones are listed below.
Swimming: Many doctors and fitness professionals profess that
swimming is the safest exercise for pregnant women. Swimming keeps
your body tone without stressing your joints. This is a safe
cardiovascular exercise that can help keep you toned throughout your
pregnancy.
Walking: Walking is one of the best exercises overall and especially
if you are pregnant. It's safe for your body and it can keep you in
great shape. Be sure to stretch thoroughly before hand. Set
attainable goals and always wear good shoes.
Yoga: Yoga has a reputation for relieving the stress and pressure in
your body. Most forms of yoga are safe when you are pregnant as long
as you avoid the more rigorous ones. Some Yoga instructors even
offer special classes for pregnant women. While doing yoga, avoid
lying flat on your back and try not to over stretch.
With proper kegal exercise and safe cardiovascular workouts, you are
well on your way to a healthy pregnancy.
