Prenatal Aerobic Guidelines
Prenatal aerobic guidelines favor most-day moderate cardio you can sustain while talking—prioritize minutes, hydration, and heat safety over old pace targets.
Prenatal aerobic guidelines recommend most days of moderate activity—often described as able to talk but not sing—via walking, cycling, swimming, or low-impact classes when cleared. Total weekly minutes matter more than chasing pre-pregnancy pace; heat and hydration need extra attention.
High-impact sports and altitude extremes need clinician input.
Common questions
-
Is running safe during pregnancy?
Some runners continue with clinician approval and no pain or leakage; others switch to walk-run or walking as impact rises. Stop if pelvic pressure, bleeding, or regular contractions appear.
