Many of our readers have sent us questions regarding exercise, specifically cycling, when pregnant. To begin, we want to highlight that exercise is completely safe and actually highly recommended to help with a healthy pregnancy. Those who were active before getting pregnant are encouraged to continue to exercise as they were unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional. Studies have shown that exercise during pregnancy can help reduce back pain, help increase energy, improve mood, help you sleep better and help maintain a healthy weight. So women cyclists out there, keep pedaling! In fact, you can pedal your way through your entire pregnancy!
