BENEFITS OF EXERCISING 
DURING PREGNANCY 
Exercise during pregnancy is important - and the perfect 
path to faster postpartum weight loss and recovery.
Introduction 
Although you may not feel like 
running a marathon, most 
women benefit greatly from 
exercising throughout their 
pregnancies. But during 
pregnancy time, you'll need to 
discuss your exercise plans 
with your doctor or personal 
trainer early on and make a 
few adjustments to your 
normal exercise routine.
Benefits 
Relieve backaches and improve your posture by 
strengthening and toning muscles in your back, 
butt, and thighs.
Benefits 
Prevent wear and tear on your joints (which 
become loosened during pregnancy due to 
normal hormonal changes) by activating the 
lubricating fluid in your joints. 
Help you sleep better by relieving the stress and 
anxiety that might make you restless at night
Benefits 
Prepare you and your body for birth. 
Strong muscles and a fit heart can greatly ease 
labor and delivery. Gaining control over your 
breathing can help you manage pain. And in the 
event of a lengthy labor, increased endurance 
can be a real help.
Benefits 
Regain your pre-pregnancy body more 
quickly. 
You'll gain less fat weight during your pregnancy 
if you continue to exercise (assuming you 
exercised before becoming pregnant). But don't 
expect or try to lose weight by exercising while 
you're pregnant. For most women, the goal is to 
maintain their fitness level throughout 
pregnancy
