Pregnancy Center

Get physically active for your health and the health of your baby by using the tips below:

• Go for a walk around the block or through a shopping mall with your spouse or a friend.
• Sign up for a prenatal yoga, aqua aerobics, or fitness class. Make sure you let the instructor know that you are pregnant before beginning.
• Rent or buy an exercise video for pregnant women. Look for videos at your local library, video store, health care provider's office, hospital, or maternity clothing store.
• At your gym, community center, YMCA, or YWCA, sign up for a session with a fitness trainer who knows about physical activity during pregnancy.
• Get up and move around at least once an hour if you sit in a chair most of the day; get up and move around during commercials when watching TV.
