Translation from Spanish:
Olivia Newton-John wants to complement the beauty of her pregnancy with the energy of exercises that will balance her gestation.
Therefore, the actress presents her gymnastic routine, aimed at weight control, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, and regulating blood circulation.
Really, all I'm doing is suggesting a gymnastics model, but it's always advisable to consult a doctor. Anything else could be crazy. However, as a guide, I propose following these guidelines: First, it's important to be rigorous with the exercises. The postures must be performed correctly. To do this, it's essential to maintain full breathing, engaging the abdomen and chest. Then, without rest, move on to the warm-up and stretching of the muscles. Keep in mind that during pregnancy, our bodies take longer to warm up... the exercises need to be more energetic.
It's also advisable to avoid prolonged periods of work lying on your back, as the extra weight of the uterus compresses the veins that return blood to the heart. This can harm the baby in the long run.
All of this should be combined with a balanced diet — you don't have to eat for two — and appropriate breathing exercises. Besides having an easier delivery, you'll look more beautiful than ever.
