Oooh! Walking is the greatest exercise to do while pregnant! Also, if you get stretchcords, then you can work your arms and stomach and legs without putting any huge strain on your baby.
If you want to know more, then call up a local gym and just talk to a personal trainer, they know everything!

i was pregnant while in the Army, you can just about do anything within reason, i did pushups till my stomach got too big ... i attempted situps but they were not full sit ups of course... lots of stretching excersize.. and i walked instead of ran....you can basically do almost anything within reason... pay attention to your body cause everyone is different.. go slow if you are trying an excersize for the first time and if it dont feel right then you can stop

Hello
Its safe to do thigs you did pre pregnancy on the whole, but never over do things
If you havent excercised before then stick to special pregnancy excercise classes or videos.
Yoga is meant to be good, but it needs to be pregnancy yoga
