Top 4 Tips for Working Out While Pregnant

Working Out While Pregnant

When those two lines first pop up on the pregnancy test, it’s a moment in your life you’ll never forget. What follows is a lot of planning, preparation, and questions— What comes next? What will have to change? What can stay the same?

At the top of the list of priorities for the next nine months is staying physically active. Having a regular workout routine is one of the best ways to stay healthy and feel your best— particularly when you’re pregnant. No matter what your pre-pregnancy activities look like, there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind to ensure you’re exercising safely for you and your baby. Keep reading to see our top tips for expectant moms working out while pregnant.

Whether you were physically active before your pregnancy and want to continue with your current workout routine or you’re someone new to exercise looking to set yourself a routine, you must talk to your doctor, or a midwife who has the requisite qualifications like a direct entry MSN, and get clearance before you start exercising while pregnant.

The Benefits of Exercising While Pregnant

Before we jump into covering our top tips, let’s go through some of the benefits of staying active while pregnant. Having regular exercise as part of your routine during pregnancy can help ease the body into all of the changes it’s going through, as well as prepare the body for childbirth and recovery post-birth.

Exercising throughout your pregnancy offers many physical and emotional benefits, including;

  • Strengthening muscles and joints
  • Reducing back and pelvic pain
  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Increasing your energy levels
  • Decreasing the risk of pregnancy complications
  • Fewer complications in delivery
  • Improved postpartum recovery

Tip #1: Find Pregnancy-Safe Exercises

There’s no doubt staying physically active during your pregnancy is good for you. However, you must keep in mind not every exercise will be appropriate. Depending on the trimester you’re in and how you’re feeling generally, the types of exercises you can do will vary.

Some suggested exercise activities that are generally safe and productive to do while you’re pregnant, even for beginners, include;

  • Walking
  • Jogging
  • Yoga and stretching
  • Pilates
  • Swimming
  • Aquarobics

Before starting any exercises, consult a qualified doctor who can provide guidance on safe pregnancy exercises and address any concerns or health conditions you may have.

Tip #2: Avoid Overheating and Stay Hydrated

Ease into each exercise with a five-minute warm-up and always remember to cool down afterwards. While you’re exercising, be aware of the intensity level and make sure you’re not getting too hot. The body’s temperature is higher during pregnancy so doing intensive exercises can cause your core temperature to rise to an unsafe level for your baby. This also means you should avoid strenuous exercise in hot or humid weather.

Going hand-in-hand with avoiding overheating your body is making sure you’re staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water, or other hydrating liquids, before, during, and after exercising to replenish fluids lost from sweating.

Tip #3: Try to Keep Active Daily

Exercising during pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to follow an elaborate workout routine every day of the week— just 30 minutes of walking a day can be enough. Whatever exercise you choose to incorporate into your routine, whether it’s a mixture of yoga, pilates, and aqua aerobics classes or simply going for walks every day, you must be consistent and try to keep active on a daily basis.

If you don’t have enough time to do your exercises all in one go, the good news is that you don’t have to. Break up your exercise routine throughout the day. Remember, any physical activity is better than none!

Tip #4: Listen to Your Body

The physical changes your body goes under when you’re pregnant create extra demands on your body that you shouldn’t ignore. Always listen to your body and adjust any activities or make exercise modifications in your routine accordingly.

Staying active and working out while pregnant is beneficial for both the mom and the baby. Once you’ve consulted a doctor, found pregnancy-safe exercises, and started keeping active daily, make sure you’re always listening to your body and stopping, or making changes, when you feel discomfort or pain.

Alexandrite Lasers vs. IPL: Which Is Better for Your Practice

lasers

So, you’re in the market for some hair removal technology and find yourself weighing Alexandrite lasers against Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems. It’s a common crossroad for many practices looking to enhance their aesthetic services. Both options have their fans, but the best choice really depends on what your practice needs and the kinds of results your clients expect.

Let’s dive into what makes each technology tick, and how choosing the right used aesthetic laser or IPL system could make all the difference in how your practice performs. Ready to figure out which one will be your new go-to?

Alexandrite Lasers: Precision for Hair Removal

Thinking about adding an Alexandrite laser to your practice? Great choice! These lasers are pretty much the gold standard for hair removal. Why? Well, they’re tuned to a specific wavelength of 755 nm, which is just the right frequency to target melanin in the hair follicles effectively.

Here’s a quick rundown on why an Alexandrite laser might just be the perfect addition to your toolkit:

  • Targeted Efficacy: When it comes to precision, Alexandrite lasers are top-notch. They’re especially good for clients with lighter to olive skin tones, ensuring that hair removal is not only effective but also precise.
  • Speed and Efficiency: Looking to zap through appointments quicker? Alexandrite lasers work fast, allowing you to treat large areas in less time. This means you can boost patient throughput without sacrificing quality.
  • Best for Lighter Skin Tones: If a lot of your clients have lighter skin, this laser is ideal. It’s designed to minimize the risk of pigmentation changes, making it a safe option for these skin types.

IPL Systems: Versatility Across Skin Treatments

Are you looking to ramp up your practice’s skin care services? If so, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology might just be what you need. What’s so cool about IPL? It uses a broad spectrum of light to tackle a whole bunch of skin issues. This means you can offer a wide range of treatments all with just one machine. Here’s why IPL systems are such a hit:

  • Wide Range of Applications: Whether it’s zapping away unwanted hair, fading age spots, tackling vascular lesions, or smoothing out those signs of aging, IPL systems have you covered. Their ability to handle multiple skin concerns makes them a versatile powerhouse in any practice.
  • Customizable Treatments: Every client is unique, right? With IPL, you can switch up filters to tailor treatments to each person’s specific skin type and condition. This customization helps ensure better results and happier clients.
  • A Gentler Approach: If you have clients with sensitive skin, they might be a bit wary of laser treatments. IPL offers a gentler alternative that’s often just as effective, which could be a big relief for those sensitive folks.

So, if you’re aiming to be a one-stop-shop for skin care, an IPL system might be the versatile tool you need to keep your clients looking and feeling great.

Choosing What’s Best for Your Practice

The decision between purchasing an Alexandrite laser for sale and an IPL system boils down to your practice’s specific needs:

  • Consider Your Clientele: Assess the common skin types and conditions you treat. If your practice sees a high volume of hair removal patients with lighter skin, Alexandrite laser for sale could be more beneficial. For a wider range of skin conditions, IPL might offer the flexibility you need.
  • Evaluate Treatment Goals: Determine whether your focus is on specialized treatments like hair removal or broader skin care solutions.
  • Factor in Cost vs. Return: While Alexandrite lasers might offer faster treatments for specific conditions, IPL systems provide a broader range of services. Consider which option offers the best return on investment for your practice.

Thinking About Leveling Up Your Practice’s Tools?
