Searches for ‘exercise for pregnant women’ skyrocket after Rihanna’s Super Bowl show

Searches for “exercises for pregnant women” they shot themselves after the performance of Rihannathe pop star, will show off her sultry belly and charm in her moves during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show.

It seems that pregnant women want to do something after watching the Barbadian singer’s halftime show. Surely they will not aspire to be like them, but at least they can accompany pregnancy with more strength and vitality.

As reported New York Post, Google shows the exponential increase in searches for “pregnancy exercise,” inspired by the “Umbrella” singer’s sultry moves. According to the fitness website Total Shape, searches have increased by 285%, queries for “abdominal exercise” have also increased by 177%, and The “maternity gym” has increased by 300%.

Similarly, fitness site Total Shape recommended, “Exercise is healthy and safe during pregnancy, but only when done correctly.”

“Can help reduce back pain and swelling, increase energy levels and avoid excessive weight gain as the body changes to accommodate your little one,” the fitness experts said.

Another recommendation is that if you don’t exercise regularly, you should avoid suddenly engaging in strenuous activity. “Workouts don’t have to be intense or demanding to be worthwhile. In fact, some of the best activities for expectant mothers include swimming, as the water works to support your weight, and long walks,” Total Shape warned.

Health experts also suggest warming up before workouts and cooling down afterward and staying hydrated—all good practices for anyone, whether you’re pregnant or not.

The best exercises for pregnant women are swimming, walking, and low-impact aerobics.

“Avoid any activity that involves a risk of fallslike gymnastics and cycling,” they advised, listing swimming, walking and low-impact aerobics as three top recommendations for exercise during pregnancy.
