What exercises are safe during pregnancy?

Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga are generally safe and beneficial for most pregnant women, promoting good circulation, improved muscle tone, and reduced stress. These exercises can also help manage common discomforts like back pain. Avoid high-impact or high-risk activities, such as contact sports or activities with a risk of falling, like skiing. Always consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine, as some pregnancy complications may require activity restrictions.
