Tips
Walking is the easiest and cheapest exercise, and
you can build it into your daily routine. Just wear comfortable clothing
and shoes -- no special equipment required.
If you love the weightless feeling of being in water
but don't want to swim, sign up for a water aerobics class (also a great
way to meet other moms-to-be).
