prego?

This seems to be the year of the babies. I feel like all my friends are either trying, pregnant, or have a little one fresh from the oven. Here's some info I found about exercise for moms-to-be.


While there are some precautions, most women who stay active during pregnancy experience:

• Improved posture and appearance
• Relief of back pain
• Stronger muscles in preparation for labor and support for loosened joints
• Improved circulation
• Increased flexibility
• Increased/maintained aerobic endurance
• Increased energy level and less fatigue
• Decreased muscle tension that promotes relaxation
• Promotion of feelings of well-being and a positive self-image
• Decreased recovery time after delivery
