I’m typically a regular exerciser, but in the last 14 weeks, I was just too tired to do much of anything outside of work. The good news is the energy has returned in the second trimester, and I am once again back on the water and trails.
After your doctor, the best resource for information on exercising during pregnancy is probably the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). They are used as a reference for most writings you’ll find on the subject.
The ACOG is highly supportive of women exercising during pregnancy, and states the many benefits of doing so, including reducing backaches, constipation, and swelling; increasing energy; improving mood and posture; promoting strength and endurance; and helping you sleep better.
I don’t know about you, but that’s a long list of motivators for me.
