Does it make pregnant women exercise at the gym?

Is it possible to exercise in the gym and lift weights during pregnancy? For example, be on a stepper, orbitrek, ride a bike?

During regular pregnancy, which does not have any risk or complications, physical activity is still recommended, which should be adapted to the stage of pregnancy.

Women who are usually actively involved in sports or are professional athletes, hardly experience the interruption of usual physical activities in the nine months of pregnancy.

It is possible to continue the same activities during pregnancy, of course with the permission of the doctor who follows the pregnancy and determines that the exercises are allowed.

Aerobic exercises such as the orbitrek, stepper and bicycle are allowed, but with the advancement of pregnancy due to the size of the belly it will be a little difficult (at least when it comes to the bicycle).

No abdominal exercises or weight lifting is recommended.

In general, during pregnancy it is not recommended to lift weights greater than 10 kg, even only in cases of necessity (usually pregnant women who must definitely lift and carry small children).

Listen to your body and if you feel good there is no reason not to exercise, just a little more sparingly than before.
