Busting common myths around exercise during pregnancy:
1️⃣ Heart rate limits
You don’t need to stick to strict heart rate zones. Use the talk test instead – you should be able to hold a conversation while exercising.
2️⃣ Exercise is always unsafe with Preeclampsia
Exercise may still be possible, but it depends on your individual condition. Always check with your OB team.
3️⃣ High-intensity exercise is off limits
High-intensity exercise can be safe if you were doing it before pregnancy and have clearance. It doesn’t automatically need to be avoided.
Exercise during pregnancy has many benefits, including improved mood, strength, and endurance. So don’t be afraid to get moving!
