Workout Wednesday: the 3rd trimester workout

Exercise during pregnancy (of course, only under the supervision and advice of your physician) can help you stay in tip top health. It can reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, may help decrease discomfort, and may set you up for an easier delivery.

Firefighter Tim says there are even new studies that show light to moderate exercise after 29 weeks may benefit your baby’s health. Always remember to listen to your body and take it easy if you are tired or feel that you need a break. And there are always multiple reasons your physician may advise you to not exercise or the stop exercising during pregnancy.
