• Pregnancy represents a special state in which women are often highly motivated to implement behavioral changes. Starting exercises during pregnancy could change the lifestyle of the woman with long-term positive impact.
• Exercise is safe for mother and fetus and should be indicated to all pregnant women in the absence of absolute contraindications.
• The exercise practice during pregnancy is associated with the control of gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes, improvement of urinary symptoms – urinary incontinence and low back pain.
• All pregnant women should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength training at moderate-intensity sessions at least three times a week for 30 min or more.
• For pregnant women with chronic diseases (such as hypertension), more studies should be performed to certify the safety of the intervention.
