Pregnancy Strength Training
Strength training during pregnancy can offer numerous benefits, including improved posture, reduced back pain, and better preparation for labor and delivery. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting or continuing any exercise regimen during pregnancy. Focus on exercises that strengthen the core, pelvic floor, and major muscle groups. Use lighter weights and higher repetitions as pregnancy progresses. Avoid exercises that require lying flat on your back after the first trimester. Stay hydrated, listen to your body, and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort. Suitable exercises include squats, lunges, modified planks, and resistance band workouts. Remember to warm up before exercising and cool down afterward.
