If you’re pregnant and still want to exercise, there are options available:

Mamma Cardio
You can try walking or swimming. Also try aqua-aerobics, low intensity aerobics or the stationary bike.

Kegel Exercises
Exercises focused around contracting and releasing the pelvic floor muscles. The added weight of your uterus may cause strain and stretch the pelvic floor muscles; Kegels will ensure it remains firm.

Stay Safe While Working Out
Remember:

• Don’t participate in weight-bearing exercises in the last trimester. The extra weight may cause premature fatigue and breathlessness. At this stage of your pregnancy exercises, like antenatal aqua classes and swimming, are recommended.
• Avoid movement that involves threat of abdominal trauma.
• Exercise in a well-ventilated and cool environment, preferably with a non-slip floor.

Check with your doctor before exercising.
