When a woman becomes pregnant, she is flooded with all sorts of advice. What to do and what not to do are things she hears from her near and dear ones on a daily basis. It’s not all bad because these things are coming from a place of love, and, naturally, people around you want the best for you. While some people say you have to stay away from unhealthy food, others tell you to get a good night’s sleep. Some others ask you to change your lifestyle into something healthier and include a good workout routine daily. But you might be skeptical about working out while you’re pregnant. While it’s essential to be cautious and know what exercises are good or bad for you during your pregnancy, there is no need to cut it out of your life completely.
Several B-town actresses like Anushka Sharma, Shilpa Shetty, and Kareena Kapoor have made fitness a regular part of their pregnancy journey to keep themselves filled with endorphins, minimize common symptoms of pregnancy, and have a faster postpartum recovery. Dia Mirza is also one such actress who took to her Instagram story to share glimpses of her pregnancy workout, inspiring several to-be moms who are experiencing the same journey. It’s an eye-opener to every pregnant mom-to-be who believes that they should avoid exercise during pregnancy. The truth is, as long as your doctor has given you the green light on your exercise schedule and routine, it’s absolutely great if you follow it. Exercising during pregnancy aids in healthy weight gain, reduces back pain, strengthens your heart and blood vessels, and helps you lose the baby weight after delivery (1).
