Who Says Pregnant Women Can’t Exercise?
Although you may not feel like running a marathon, most women benefit greatly from exercising throughout their pregnancies. But during that time, you’ll need to discuss your exercise plans with your doctor or other health care provider early on and make a few adjustments to your normal exercise routine. The level of exercise recommended will depend, in part, on your level of pre-pregnancy fitness.
You can try some of the following 3 best exercises for pregnant women.
1/ Buttock Leg Lifts Exercise For Pregnant Women
Go onto your hands and knees and make sure your back is flat. Lift your right knee forward and then extend your right leg backwards until it is straight. Repeat this exercise 10 times on each leg, always making sure you keep your back straight.
This exercise for pregnant women works your gluteal muscles (i.e. your butt), and if you’re feeling adventurous you move your opposite forward in unison with your leg - right leg, left arm; left leg, right arm. (You may feel you look a bit like Superman doing this one 
)
2/ Pelvic Tilt Exercise
This is also known as the cat stretch. Whilst on your hands and knees drop your abdominals so that your back arches downwards, then tighten your abdominals upwards so that your back arches upwards slightly as a cat would do. Repeat 10 times in a controlled fashion, always remembering to breath slowly and fully to get the full benefit. This exercise for pregnant women will work your lower back and abdominals.
3/ Wall Squats Exercise
This exercise for pregnant women is great for your thighs, lower back and butt. With your feet shoulder width apart and your back against the wall, slowly lower yourself until you are in a squat position (your quads almost at right angles to the floor). Then, under control, slowly come back up to your start position. Inhale on the way down, exhale on the way up. Do this 12-15 times depending on how you feel. It can be performed with or without a “body ball” (those big soft rubber balls you find in the gym, which are good for abdominal exercises).

Good Food and Exercise Keep you happy…
Have you noticed that as soon as you have finished your workout for the day that you are overwhelmed with a sense of achievement and joy, that is one of my favourite things about working out the rewards that come afterwards.
My mother always used to say that the key to a mans heart is through is stomach… This never really made sense to me but as I learn more about nutrition and eating healthy I realise that if your daily sugar levels are kept at good levels and you eat small regular meals you will feel happier.
The First Splendid Truth holds that to think about my happiness, I should think about feeling good, feeling bad, feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. This quote was taken Gretchen Rubin’s blog here is the post Yesterday was a good bad day go and check it out is is worth a read…
