So many times, physicians will warn pregnant women to limit their intake. We do ice dance, so you don't fall as often, but it still seemed risky. This means that you might have to cast a body part, have surgery or be limited in your activities, all risky situations for pregnancy. I was wondering if Bonnie could comment on the benefits that women who exercise during pregnancy will experience during delivery and recovery. I bounced back from my C-section much faster than some of my sedentary friends who are ten years younger than I am.
Studies also suggest that exercise reduces the incidence the cesarean.
Folks, there's time for a few last questions. I recommend swimming for my pregnant clients. I think it is one of the best exercises. You are light on your feet, strengthening and getting aerobic fitness at the same time and increasing circulation significantly. In fact, water is great for women that have too much swelling or back tension.
