Exercise and pregnancy – it’s a good thing!
If you need more evidence to support the wonderous effects of exercise, check out this tid bit of information.
Scientists at the University of Montreal looked at the effects of exercise on brain activity of babies during pregnancy. In a nutshell, the brain activity of babies whose mom’s exercised an average of 117 minutes of moderate activity per week showed a more mature pattern of activity than those babies whose mom remained sedentary throughout their pregnancy when measured at 8-12 days post-partum. 117 minutes equals to about 16 minutes of walking per day. Think about that! What magic can occur from so little time investment!
Who says we can’t create magic?
