Exercise and pregnancy

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows what exercise is and isn't allowed with pregnancy?

Wife has been doing HIIT exercise on the exercise bike but was wondering if she is allowed to do it or not?

LOL, I've been telling her is bum love only because I don't want to poke the baby in the face, not sure she's believing it though

Thanks for the link, looks like HIIT is off the cards then, shame as she was just starting to get in to it and the weight was coming off. she only had a stone to lose, but looks like we'll be going out walking more then swimming

Nothing wrong with gentle resistance based intervals on the bike. Primary contraindications are impact, overheating and dizziness.

I absolute beasted a prenatal client right up until 6.5 months when we began to taper. I now have to fan her constantly during gentle cardio
