Treadmill Workout for Expectant Moms
First of all congratulations for your baby
! We’re sure you’ll make a great mom.
If before pregnancy you were an active person you probably miss those training days. In this article we’ve compiled a workout specially designed for expectant moms. This isn’t a hard workout but if you fell is too much for you, stop or slow down.
Start with some stretching moves. Then continue with a 5 minutes warm up at a slower pace and 0 incline.
Do a 5 minutes speed interval at 4 mph and belt incline at 1.5-2%
Slower your pace at 2.5-3mph and 1% incline and do a 2 minute recovery period
Continue with another 5 minutes interval but this time the incline should be much higher. Set your treadmill speed at 4mph and incline at 3%.
Do another 2 minute recovery interval but this time keep the incline at 3%. The speed should be around 2.5-3 mph.
Repeat the previous 5 minutes interval. If you feel is all right raise the incline with 1% and speed with 0.5%
This will be the last 2 minute recovery interval: Gradually lower your incline and speed until you have 2.5mph and 0%.
In the end do a five minutes session of cool-down and stretching .
This exercise will keep you in shape especially in the last months of pregnancy. You should note that this workout has an informative value only. Consult your doctor before starting the training and lower the speed and incline until you feel comfortable.
