My aim was to always be muscle sore the next day, that way I knew I had done a great workout. But now that I'm 25 weeks pregnant, I've taken a step right back from my hardcore yoga practices. The first trimester I didn't even workout! I was so into listening to my body and what it needed — which was sleep 16 hours a day and lay horizontal for the most part of the waking day. Then 19 weeks hit, and all my energy came back! I attempted to practice a few sessions of my own sweaty Vinyasa yoga practices, but it didn't feel right. Bending forward and chaturangas became so hard! Then a few weeks later the puffy ankles emerged. So that's when I knew I had to change my fitness routine — HIKING and WALKING! By going for my 1 hour afternoon hikes and walking my dog first thing in the morning I've been increasing my blood circulation whilst helping to flush away those ankle fluids — and it’s been working 👏 I've also read so much that exercise is part of a healthy pregnancy, and whilst I'm really focussed on being the best version of myself whilst pregnant, I just want Baby Chalmers to be healthy and happy. Happy mum, happy baby! Benefits of exercise during pregnancy: * Reduces my risk of preeclampsia * Lowers my chance of needing a C section * Help me to lose weight faster postbaby * Improves my stamina for labor (they say labour and giving birth is the equivalent of running a marathon with the energy exertion) * Shortens labor * Reduce the risks of gestational diabetes * Reduces pregnancy Edema which is swelling of the ankles and what I have been getting.
