All of the following are good exercises during pregnancy EXCEPT:
  1. High impact aerobics
  2. Swimming
  3. Yoga
  4. Walking
Explanation
Answer: A - Aerobics are a good way to improve heart and lung function, but should be limited to low-impact versions during pregnancy. Swimming is good during pregnancy as the water supports a woman's added weight while her muscles meet added resistance. Yoga movements make for a relaxed way to tone muscles, though certain poses need to be avoided during pregnancy. Walking is an easy way to get exercise without too much risk of injury. If a mother was a runner before pregnancy, she can continue to run though she may have to limit her distance, and may need to quit in the late weeks of pregnancy.
