How to Keep Fit While Pregnant!

Staying fit is especially important when you’re pregnant, and can even help ease some of those uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms.

Check out what Jules recommends to keep your body in the best shape possible for those nine months:

Cardio exercises – this includes anything that increases your heart rate. Cardio is especially good for burning calories

Strength training – lightweight training during your pregnancy will also help burn calories. The more muscle you build, the higher your metabolism, and the more calories you burn.

Flexibility exercises – Stretching can be your greatest weapon during your pregnancy since it helps ease leg cramps & back strain.

Doing any of these exercises for at least 30 minutes a day will benefit you AND your baby in the long run. So get up, start moving, and don’t forget to go see What to Expect When You’re Expecting in theaters May 18th!

David Beckham To Carry Olympic Torch To Britain

David Beckham will be carrying the Olympic torch to Britain!

He will be in Athens, Greece at the official handover ceremony.

Though he won't have to run back home to England, he'll be taking a flight with the torch back to the U.K.

Beckham was part of the delegation that helped London secure the Summer Games for 2012 and he's a super talented, super gorgeous athlete so of course he should carry the torch.

He will be one of 8,000 people that will carry the torch during a 70-day relay that will start in Cornwall, southern England, and reach the Shetland Islands, off Scotland's north coast.

We're starting to get really excited for the Olympics!

Don't drop that torch!
