Riding A Stationary Bike During Pregnancy

Riding a stationary bike during pregnancy can be a good low-impact exercise throughout pregnancy as long as adequate ventilation is provided and exertion levels are moderate, avoiding sudden increases in intensity or duration. A stationary bike allows for regulating exertion levels without risk of falling and makes it easier to stop pedaling to use the bathroom in later stages of pregnancy compared to outdoor cycling.

conditioning) and put on light cotton clothes that allow perspiration.

increases in the amount of exercise.
