If you are expecting at this time, and the weather is already getting hotter and more humid, now is the time to take your workout indoors. Make sure to dress in layers, wear comfortable workout shoes as well as a sports-bra. Try not to wear T-shirts as they have tendency to overheat us and exercise in air conditioning.
On the days you don't want to go out to your yoga studio or gym, and it is simply too hot and humid to take a walk even around the block, for not alot of money you can set up your very own Prenatal Fitness home-gym in your home.
All you need is a 65cm exercise or stability ball which comes with a mini pump, a set of 3lbs, and 5lbs dumbbells, a small pillow, a mat, 5lbs ankle weights, a dyna-band which you can find at Sports Authority, or Target, a towel and a water. If you have Asthma, and your doctor has cleared you to continue using it during your pregnancy, have your inhaler handy as well.
If you haven't worked out before or are unfamiliar with the above equipment, seek advice beforehand from an experienced prenatal fitness coach who can guide you and prescribe a custom program for you.
Be well,
