Although walking, dancing and swimming are rated the best exercises during pregnancy and are usually recommended for pregnant women by their doctors, they are not the only exercises a pregnant woman should engage in. There are other simple and very definite exercises that can also be applied to help make pre-natal period memorable. These exercises help a pregnant woman to improve her core strength, strengthen her lower back, tone-up, stretch and relax her muscles and also help her to easily regain her shape after delivery. Most of the exercises are very beneficial to newborns’ brain development. Other exercises include in-door stationary cycling, step or elliptical machine. Others are…
