If you exercise you may feel better and ease the aches and pains of pregnancy.When you exercise during pregnancy you will boost your energy level. Instead of wanting to constantly sleep all the time, you will have more energy to move and get going. Exercising can get your muscles moving around which will ease some of these aches and pains, which make you feel better. If you exercise you will get back to your pre pregnancy weight faster.
If you exercised on a regular basis before getting pregnant, then you can go on the same workout and modify it as you need. You need to adjust you exercise if you do things like horse riding, skiing or contact sport. These activities can possibly cause bodily injury if you fall or get hurt and could hurt the baby; you need to change to less dangerous activities.
If you did not exercise regularly before baby, it is time to start. You need to take its slowly and let your body adjust to the new activities.

Try working out 3 days a week. Remember to talk to your doctor and make sure it is safe for you and your baby before starting any workout.If you feel dizzy or have shortness of breathe you need to stop.
