Can exercising while pregnant lead to more active kids?

Researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston have reported that our willingness to work out may be affected by a mother’s exercise patterns during pregnancy. In a study published in the FASEB Journal, the researchers found that mice whose mothers ran during pregnancies grew up to be more physically active than mice whose mothers were sedentary. Later on once the offspring were born, they were placed in separate cages away from the adult mice and their activity was monitored too.
