It is also important to do any form of light physical activity during pregnancy too. Dr Kedar Nath, director, Maatriyoga suggested how yoga, considered an ancient form of exercise, is best for having a normal delivery. “While refreshing mind as well as body, the method gives elasticity and increases endurance which helps the woman through her pregnancy,” said Dr Kedar Nath.

For a balanced post-pregnancy exercise regime, Shivani Sikri, chief nutritionist, Nutri4Verve, recommends that one shouldn’t push too hard to lose weight. “Even if you were in good shape before and during your pregnancy, you shouldn’t push too hard mainly because your joints are more elastic for several months following delivery due to a hormone called relaxin that’s released during pregnancy,” she said.

Kareena Kapoor Khan also recently got back to her fitness fitness routine, a glimpse of which she shared on Instagram.
