Pregnant women should avoid exercising for more than how many minutes at a time?

The correct answer is: 30

Pregnant women are generally advised to limit the duration of exercise sessions to around 30 minutes at a time, primarily to ensure safety and comfort. This recommendation is rooted in the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, which can affect cardiovascular function, energy levels, and overall endurance. Exercising for longer than 30 minutes may increase the risk of overheating and dehydration, which can be harmful to both the mother and the developing fetus. While some women may be able to comfortably engage in longer workouts, the 30-minute guideline serves as a balanced approach that allows for sufficient physical activity while reducing potential risks. It encourages regular movement, which has numerous benefits such as improving mood, reducing discomfort, and preparing the body for labor, without overstressing the body.
