(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Making a resolution to work out and diet is a time-honored New Year’s ritual, but pregnant women should exercise caution about exercising. It’s not a good idea to start a rigorous program when you’re pregnant, says Dr. Robyn Horsager-Boehrer, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
As long as your doctor hasn’t cautioned against it, however, a little extra exercise is good, she says – taking the stairs, parking your vehicle so that you have to walk farther, or taking neighborhood strolls. And once the baby is born, mom-and-baby classes are a good way to bond while getting back into shape.
The same goes for dieting, Dr. Horsager-Boehrer says. A strict diet is not a good resolution. Just think about eating sensibly instead, while allowing for a few treats.
