Many pregnant women approach me with concerns about their body fat. They say they had weight to lose prior to getting pregnant and now they’re pregnant and afraid they’ll get even “fatter”. My advice is, It’s not to late to start exercising! As long as your doctor gives you the “ok”, start exercising. Take up walking. Walking is something you can do from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way to the end. Also, try prenatal yoga. Don’t use the excuse, “but I’m not flexible” because that’s how you get flexible! The key is to start doing something now! The sooner you get started, the quicker you’ll tone up. It IS possible to lose body fat through eating healthy and exercising even while pregnant. So don’t delay…start today!
