It really depends on if you have exercised before or not. Walking is the most beneficial for the person who doesn't want to start a new activity. You never want to start a new exercise that you have never done before during pregnancy because you risk injury. Static stretches are very important to incorporate into any fitness regime. Strength training is also great. Exercises can be done with free weights, your own body weight, a stability ball, and elastic bands for resistance.
Above all, the message that I have for women that are pregnant is to enjoy your pregnancy, listen to your body, stay active and embrace the new life within you.
