-Check with your doctor and get permission to exercise.
-Understand that if you were quite active before becoming pregnant, it's likely that you can continue what you were doing, with some modifications.
-Try non impact exercises, such as stationary cycling or water aerobics. Walking is also excellent; just be sure to have cushioned shoes.
-Shoot for three exercise sessions a week, and include rest days.
-Don't let yourself get too exhausted - the exercise should be refreshing, not draining. Your body is busy enough right now.
-Drink plenty of water and avoid getting too hot.
-Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
-Remember that pregnancy isn't the time to set any personal bests.
-Note that as you get bigger, your center of gravity changes, so watch your step with anything like step aerobics or jogging.
-Don't do any exercise while flat on your back once you pass the third month.
-Look for a mom-to-be exercise class at your hospital or fitness facility.
