Aerobic activity throughout pregnancy has been linked to enhanced motor skills in one-month-old infants as well as developing a stronger heart pre-birth. Their pulses tended to be slower and the beat-to-beat variability greater which commonly signifies more resilient cardiac muscles.

Before beginning any new fitness regime, it is recommended that pregnant women consult their healthcare provider.
