Many women do not like to go out for activities. For the convenience of exercising, they will buy a stepper at home and exercise on it when they have free time. Steppers make exercise more convenient and suitable for young people with a fast-paced lifestyle, but can pregnant women use them?
After pregnancy, it is not advisable to do vigorous exercise, but it is still okay to exercise your body on a treadmill. Pregnant women should pay attention to three issues when using a stepper:
Firstly, the speed adjustment should be slower. It is best to adjust the speed of the stepper to the rhythm of walking or jogging, so that pregnant women can exercise more easily.
Secondly, the exercise time should not be too long. Do not exercise with a stepper for more than half an hour every day. During exercise, if you sweat a lot or feel tired, you should stop and rest for a while in time.
Thirdly, stepper motion cannot completely replace outdoor exercise. Pregnant women should ensure that they have outdoor activity time every day, which allows them to breathe fresh air and make their mood better. On the other hand, outdoor activities can expose the fetus to sunlight, and ultraviolet radiation is beneficial for the healthy development of the fetus.
In addition, it is important to note that if there are signs of miscarriage such as redness or abdominal pain, it is advisable to rest in bed as much as possible, avoid exercise, and especially avoid using a stepper to exercise, as it may increase the risk of miscarriage.
