Cardio Exercise During Pregnancy (Running, Walking, Swimming, and more)

This episode takes a deep dive into cardio exercise during pregnancy, including walking, running, swimming, cycling, and more. Cardio is a broad category that includes any activity that raises your heart rate. During pregnancy, normal changes to your cardiovascular system mean your heart is working differently, which often raises questions about safety for you and your baby. Find out how pregnancy-related changes can affect cardio workouts. Learn how current guidelines define safe exercise, and why intensity matters more than the specific activity you choose. This episode also covers practical ways to gauge effort using heart rate or simple body cues, along with clear guidance on when to slow down or stop.
