Exercising during pregnancy is something that no expectant mother should miss.
Being pregnant means you need an extra 300 calories per day and you might be surprised by how much more you eat extra. This makes exercising during pregnancy important.
Cycling is a widely recommended exercise for pregnant woman.
It is a low-impact exercise providing cardiovascular benefits to keep you in good shape.
Stick to calmer areas and avoid potentially dangerous situations like wet roads or rough terrains. Furthermore ensure that your bicycle is in a good working condition, especially the brakes! Or, you can avoid the dangerous of the road by getting a stationary exercise bike.
Staying well hydrated is very important. Take a bottle of water with you if you go out to cycle.
Monitoring your heart rate while cycling is also a good idea. Try not to exceed a rate of 140 beats per minute. Always stop if you do not feel well, a shortness of breath or dizziness.
During the last trimester of your pregnancy cycling might be uncomfortable and swimming might be a better option.
Always consult a medical practitioner before commencing any form of exercise program when pregnant.
