Some of the best pregnancy exercises are also the simplest to perform and can maintain good posture as well as prevent and alleviate back pain and general pregnancy aches and pains.

Always remember that pregnancy affects your joints by making them looser. This increases your chances of injury. A good sports bra and suitable supportive trainers should be in your fit kit at all times.

The best pregnancy exercises are:

Kegals – These are also known as pelvic floor exercises and they tone your pelvic floor making for an easier labor, less chance of tearing during delivery and more importantly, to prevent embarrassing leaks both during and after pregnancy.

While standing or sitting, simply squeeze your pelvic floor muscles as if you were trying to stop yourself from peeing. Hold for a few seconds and release. Build up to 5 sets of 20 daily.

Waist Twists – Waist twists help to tone your obliques without putting a strain on your body. Stand shoulder width apart and with knees soft, hands on hips and back straight, tighten your abdominals gently and twist slowly to one side and then slowly to the other. Aim for 2 sets of 10.

Abdominal Contractions – One of the best pregnancy exercises to really keep your tummy muscles strong. Sit comfortably in a chair with back straight, feet flat on floor. Inhale and when exhaling, gently tighten your tighten by contracting them and squeeze your pelvic floor muscles up and in at the same time. Hold for 5 seconds and release. Repeat throughout the day in sets of 10. Try and build up to 300 daily.

This will flatten your tummy and get rid of your pooch after the birth. It is also recommended for abdominal distension (when there is a gap between your stomach muscles).

Butt and Thigh Clenches – Sitting with back straight and feet flat on floor, place a cushion between your thighs. Squeeze the cushion with your thighs and clench your buttocks and pull your pelvic floor muscles in. Repeat for 2 sets of 15.

Do these daily and your body will look and feel so much better before and after the birth.
