As a personal trainer, I am constantly fielding quesions about fitness and nutrition. One question that I have probably heard the most is "What is more important...exercise or what I am eating?" My answer is the same each and every time. No matter what your goal is, nutrition is the key. If your goal is fat loss, your nutritional intake needs to be consistent with losing fat. If your goal is to be as strong as a horse, you need to eat like a horse. Same reasoning would apply to exercising...if an individual is training to become a better athlete, their training plan should be athletically based (not bodybuilding based).
Why do I bring this up? Just because you are pregnant now does not mean that you have to eliminate training. Goals and end results are now changed. Therefore, training and nutritional plans need to be changed. Exercises that are going to support your growth now need to be utilized and typically an increase in calories needs to be adopted.
In my previous posts, I have provided basic exercises that are excellent choices to help keep your pregancy fit...stay tuned for more!
