Question

Everyone in ghar keeps telling me walk daily walk daily, but some days im so tired I just want to rest. Im 6 months along. Is daily walking really that important or can I take it easy sometimes?

Hiral Banerjee · Answer

Unless you are on strict bed rest, a gentle 20-minute daily walk is highly beneficial. It keeps gestational diabetes and high blood pressure in check.

Since I had a complicated history, I was very scared to do any exercise. Please ask your doctor if walking is safe for your specific case before starting.

Walking is great, but carrying twins made me feel like a heavy penguin! Just do whatever your body allows, there is no need to push yourself too hard.

Yes, walking helps a lot with energy levels and keeps your body active.

Aparna Kumar · Answer

Walking is excellent for circulation, but always consult your gynac first to ensure you don't have any complications like a low-lying placenta that requires rest.

Actually, a short evening walk in the park helps clear your head, yaar. It is not strictly 'necessary' but it makes you feel so much fresher physically.

Thoda bohot tahlna toh accha hai na body ke liye. Agar gynac ne allow kiya hai, toh sham ko thodi der walk pe jao, mind aur body dono fresh ho jayenge.
