Physical activity has beneficial effects for most pregnant women. The physical activity can be aerobic as well as light resistive strength training. If you are pregnant, be sure to consult your physician before participating in any physical activity program. This is especially important if you have been sedentary and wish to become physically active during your pregnancy.
