We include drink breaks as it is important to keep hydrated and rest in between.

Of course, this depends on the severity of your condition and we always recommend you speak with your health care professional.

In pregnancy, your body is already in a cardio state.

Due to the extra fluid in your body your heart has to work much harder to pump the blood around your body. As your baby grows, there's less space for your organs, and much less room to breathe.

Never push too hard and if you ever feel dizzy when working out you need to stop immediately.

For this workout you will need:
1. A set of light weights (2kg /4-5 pounds)
2. Drink bottle

In this video, I will be sharing some of the best cardio workouts suitable for pregnant women. Staying active during pregnancy is important for both the mother and baby, and cardio exercises can help improve overall health and well-being.

Staying active during pregnancy is super important, not just for the mom-to-be, but also for the baby.

Exercising regularly can help reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, promote a healthier weight gain, and even shorten labor time. Plus, it can boost your mood and energy levels, which is a win-win for everyone involved.

Exercising at Home

When it comes to exercising at home during pregnancy, many women face a lot of challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is lack of motivation - it can be tough to get moving when you're feeling tired and uncomfortable.

 Another challenge is safety concerns - it's natural to worry about whether certain exercises are safe for your baby. And then there's the issue of finding suitable workouts that cater to your changing body.

Time and Energy

Another common challenge is finding the time and energy to work out, especially if you have other kids or a busy schedule. It can be hard to prioritize your own fitness when you're already feeling overwhelmed.

And finally, some women might feel self-conscious about exercising at home, especially if they're new to working out or feel like they don't have the right equipment.

But don't let these challenges hold you back! With a little creativity and guidance, you can create a safe and effective cardio workout that you can do from the comfort of your own home. So, let's get started!

Walking

One of the best cardio exercises for pregnant women is walking. This is a low-impact exercise that gets your heart rate up and works your legs.

You can also march in place. Simply stand with your feet hip-width apart, and start marching in place, bringing your knees up towards your chest. Remember to keep your shoulders relaxed and your core engaged to support your back.

Wall Sit

Another great exercise is the wall sit. This one's a great way to work your legs and glutes, and it's also easy on the joints.

Stand with your back against the wall, and slide down into a seated position, keeping your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Hold for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, and repeat.

Squats when Pregnant

Next up is the bodyweight squat when pregnant. This exercise targets your legs and glutes, and is a great way to improve your balance and stability.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, then bend your knees and lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Push back up to the starting position, and repeat.

Arm Circles

And finally, there's the arm circles. This exercise is a great way to get your heart rate up and work your arms. Hold your arms straight out to the sides, then make small circles with your hands. Gradually increase the size of the circles as you get more comfortable with the movement. 

One of the most empowering moments for me during this workout was when I realized I could still do these exercises even at an advanced stage of pregnancy.

It was a powerful reminder that my body is capable of amazing things, even when it feels like it's not. And I hope you experience that same feeling of empowerment as you work through this workout.
