Default Can I use a treadmill as I enter my second trimester?

Before getting pregnant I used to have regular workouts at the gym. During early pregnancy I felt too exhausted to do much exercise, but now at 13 weeks I have started walking on a treadmill. Is this safe and for how long/what intensity should I shoot for?

It is common to feel too dragged out in the first trimester of the pregnancy and to come out of it and feel like exercising again after the twelfth week. Starting on a treadmill, as long as the pregnancy is healthy and you are not having any bleeding or cramping, is perfectly safe and can be done until you feel your balance will not safely keep you on the treadmill without falling.
