Strength training can be safe and beneficial during pregnancy and for individuals with certain health conditions, but it's crucial to approach it with caution and seek guidance from a healthcare professional. Before starting or continuing a strength training program during pregnancy, consult with your obstetrician or healthcare provider. They can provide personalized guidance based on your health, pregnancy history, and any potential risks. Focus on moderate-intensity exercises and avoid heavy lifting, particularly if you were not strength training regularly before pregnancy. Pay attention to your heart rate and avoid overheating.
