Exercising is an integral part of successful preparation for childbirth.

Here are the benefits of exercising during pregnancy:

• Eliminates back discomfort, swelling of the legs and appearance of varicose veins.
• Improves the strength and flexibility of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles thus reducing the prolapse of internal organs.
• Relieves the body of excessive tension.
• Helps to learn deep and rhythmic breathing, as the baby receives as much oxygen as the mother inhales.
• Helps the body to adapt to the gradually increasing load as the baby grows.
• Improves well-being, boosts the immune system.
