For pregnant women, it is useful to have regular walks 3 days
a week after the third month of pregnancy. The march should be at a moderate
pace and it is enough to take 20-30 minutes. As with any exercise, warm-up
movements should be done for 5 minutes before starting the walk. Comfortable
sweatpants and sneakers should be worn for walking. Walking is the easiest
sport to do anytime, anywhere, and it is a safe sport without danger. For this
reason, it is one of the most preferred sports in pregnancy. During walking,
the body should be upright, shoulders should not be left forward and should not
be humped. While walking, look at the side rather than the ground or feet.
While walking, heel should be on the ground first, then the whole foot.
Trekking should be done on a safe and flat road, and should not be done on
uphill and downhill areas. You should adjust your walking pace to breathe
easily. For example, you should be comfortable enough to chat at the moment. If
you are not so comfortable, if you are too tired enough to breathe, you should
stop for a few minutes, do stretching movements and then continue walking
again. You should not talk to others while walking, it will cause unnecessary
effort. It is more beneficial to use suitable areas outside the house instead
of treadmills for walking or jogging during pregnancy. In these areas, there
will be an opportunity to get plenty of oxygen.
The
benefits of walking:
- It makes you feel physically stronger and fit during
pregnancy.
- It makes you feel more comfortable and peaceful in
psychology.
- It prevents you to gain excess weight during pregnancy.
- It provides keeping the shape and form of the body and
makes it easier to get the old form after birth.
Walking or other suitable exercises during pregnancy is very
useful if your doctor has not indicated you a special condition about your
inconvenience and does not cause any pregnancy related risks. You should talk
to your doctor in the 3rd month of your pregnancy. If there is no problem for your
pregnancy, you can start the exercises after the third month.
