Most exercises are safe to perform during pregnancy, as long as you exercise with caution and do not overdo it. For most pregnant women who haven’t been exercising before pregnancy, at least 5 minutes of exercise would keep the body fit. You can start building it up to 10, 20 and 30 minutes of moderate exercise is recommended on most days of the week, if not all.

When And Why You Should Not Exercise  
Exercise may not be advisable if you have a medical problem, such as:
Asthma
Diabetes
Heart disease

Exercising may also be harmful if you have a pregnancy related condition such as:
Bleeding or spotting
Low placenta
Threatened or recurrent miscarriage
Previous premature births or history of early labor
Weak cervix

The safest, most productive activities are swimming, brisk walking, indoor stationary cycling and you could go jugging too. While exercising, if you can’t speak normally, calm down, you’re probably pushing yourself too hard, you should be able to carry on a conversation while you’re exercising and don’t forget to drink a lot of fluids to avoid overheating.
