5) Boost energy levels- Most women experience fatigue at various times during their pregnancy. Engaging in physical activity 3-5 times per week will actually give you more energy to perform daily tasks and will help you sleep better at night!

4) Reduces common pregnancy discomforts like backache: Strengthening your core muscles will greatly reduce, if not eliminate completely, common back pain most women experience during pregnancy.

3) Toned body: Just because you're pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t have an improved body shape. By increasing lean muscle tissue, you are preparing yourself for an easier time getting back to your post-partum shape.

2) Reduces your risk of having a Cesarean Section- Studies show that when women are physically active they greatly reduce their chances of having a C-Section.

1) Have an easier labour! Regular exercise helps facilitate the labour process. Women who are physically fit have the strength and stamina to endure the physical demands of labour.
