Kegel Exercise for
a Healthy Pregnancy
07/28/07
by Alli Ross
With Kegal exercise, your
pregnancy can be more comfortable before, during, and after your baby
is born. With the proper kegal exercise, you can strengthen the
vaginal muscles and allow for smoother pregnancy. Kegal exercises
strengthen your pelvic muscles, which become weakened during
childbirth. This could lead to bladder control problems.

To find
the correct muscles to target, pretend that you are trying to stop
urinating. Squeeze those muscles for a few seconds and then relax.
Repeat this every few seconds. It's as simple as that. Nobody even has
to know that you're doing them. Just make sure you breathe while doing
the kegal exercises.
It's important that you don't overdo your
kegel exercise in the first few weeks after birth. Otherwise, you may
become very sore. Three sets of ten repetitions per day is probably
ideal.
So, What are some other healthy exercises that can be
performed during pregnancy? Some of
the best ones are listed
below.
Swimming: Many doctors and fitness professionals
profess that swimming is the safest exercise for pregnant women.
Swimming keeps your body tone without stressing your joints. This is a
safe cardiovascular exercise that can help keep you toned throughout
your pregnancy.
Walking: Walking is one of the best
exercises overall and especially if you are pregnant. It's safe for
your body and it can keep you in great shape. Be sure to stretch
thoroughly before hand. Set attainable goals and always wear good
shoes.
Yoga: Yoga has a reputation for relieving the stress
and pressure in your body. Most forms of yoga are safe when you are
pregnant as long as you avoid the more rigorous ones. Some Yoga
instructors even offer special classes for pregnant women. While doing
yoga, avoid lying flat on your back and try not to over stretch.
With proper kegal exercise and safe cardiovascular workouts,
you are well on your way to a healthy pregnancy.
