THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS TO EXERCISING WHILE PREGNANT

Boost your energy. Pregnancy can rob you of your energy, especially during the first and last trimester. Participating in regular exercise releases the happy hormone known as endorphins, to give you the boost you need. Prepare the body for birth. Giving birth requires energy and stamina, and staying active during pregnancy is good preparation for the hard work that lies ahead.

Get a strong core to fight against gravity. With regular core strengthening such as Pilates exercises, the muscles of the torso, in particular the back muscles, can carry the excess weight of the bump more easily, without extra stress on the body.

Exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight. By exercising the body and mind regularly, you will maintain a healthy weight, making post pregnancy recovery an easier process.
