Exercise tips for mums-to-be

Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise if you’re pregnant. It’s an all-round aerobic exercise you can do at your own pace and because you are buoyant in the water, there’s no strain on your body. If you can’t swim, try an aqua-aerobics class.

Walking is also excellent when you’re pregnant (and after the baby arrives). Walking at a moderate pace will help with your fitness and blood circulation and is good for general wellbeing. Walking along the beach or in the countryside will help you relax.
