Pregnancy time is the toughest time of all for a woman. Basically exercise is good for all ages and all condition of health depending on the effect. I have twins who are the most precious gift of my life.
While I passed the pregnancy time, I used to exercise to keep me fit and prepared for childbirth. I have seen many of my relatives and friends have gone through only “Yoga” during their pregnancy time, as they were confused what guidelines should be followed during that health condition.
My doctor advised me to exercise at least 60 minutes a day (30 minutes each in the morning and evening). In that time I was seriously having problems in sleeping and back pain.
My ankles were swelling and working out benefited me in boosting my mood and also helped me in declining pregnancy symptoms like fatigue, constipation and nausea.
