"Preparing for Pregnancy: The Benefits of Training Like an Athlete"

TL;DR Summary
Experts suggest that women should proactively prepare their bodies through exercise before getting pregnant, similar to training for an athletic event. Regular exercise prior to pregnancy can help manage physical challenges and provide a strong foundation for a healthier pregnancy experience. Treating any injuries, finding a cardio workout, strengthening the pelvic floor, and focusing on core, glutes, legs, and upper back muscles are recommended. Starting exercise routines earlier yields greater benefits, and being healthy before pregnancy can mitigate complications.
