The exercises you can do during pregnancy depend on your health and how active you were before you became pregnant. If you were not active before pregnancy, this is not the time to start an extremely strenuous exercise program.

However, exercises such as swimming, walking, or prenatal exercise classes are great places for you to get started. If you exercised before pregnancy, you should be able to continue with your exercise program but within reason. Check with your doctor first if you have special health circumstances that require further information.
