Details

• A Saint Louis University study finds that pregnant women are not exercising enough, and that doctors should do more to encourage them to keep fit.
• Study author Terry Leet says the message is not getting out that women should continue to exercise during pregnancy, at least at moderate intensity.
• Leet says only one of every six pregnant women is meeting the current physical activity recommendation of 30 or more minutes of moderate physical activity each day.
• The research was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and published in Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise.
• Brisk walking for 30 or more minutes at least five days a week is considered moderate exercise and meets the current physical activity recommendation for pregnant and non-pregnant women.
