Experts agree, when you're pregnant, it's important to keep moving: Pregnant women who exercise have less back pain, more energy, a better body image and, post-delivery, a faster return to their pre-pregnancy shape.

Right now, you're super-motivated to make healthy and lasting changes in your life. We share our favorite workouts to keep you active, along with essential exercise information and weight-gain guidance for pregnant women.

Being fit doesn't have to mean a big time commitment or fancy equipment. The following workout is simple, can be done at home, and is safe to do in each trimester.
