Is Exercise Safe During Pregnancy - The Guidelines

 

In Australia only 15% of pregnant women are doing the recommended level of exercise! We want to change that! Experts recommend that pregnant women should be doing between 150-300 minutes of moderate to slightly vigorous exercise per week, including two strength and resistance workouts each week. 

 

Why? One reason is that exercise enhances the ability of both mother AND her baby to cope during labour.

 

In this Video, Women's Health Physiotherapist, Lyz Evans discusses the latest guidelines on prenatal exercise and tells us why Pregnancy is not only safe but recommended for healthy Mums and Babies.
