Q+A: I am planning to have a baby, should i continue exercising if I get pregnant?

It is a great idea to continue your training throughout your pregnancy, it will of course need some modification, so let your personal trainer know. They will be able to make sure that the exercises that they give you are appropriate for the trimester you are currently in.

There are many great benefits of exercising while pregnant, these include:-

• Mothers who exercise tend to have a shorter labour.
• Mothers who exercise tend to have a more comfortable pregnancy.
• Mothers who exercise need less medical intervention during labour
