Q. Can I continue using the Precor elliptical during pregnancy? Why is this better than other forms of cardiovascular activity?

    Yes - it is safe to continue the exercise level that you were doing pre-pregnancy. The elliptical is low impact so may be more comfortable than running during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. Be sure to check with your obstetrician before starting a new exercise program during pregnancy.
