Brief Answer:
Yes you can do it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes! it is the best time to start your exercise to make yourself fit, healthy and build up your stamina and strength to carry the changes which occurs during pregnancy. Regular exercise will change your mood and increase your fertility also.

It may check your weight (weight should be appropriate before trying for pregnancy)

In my opinion there are some regular exercise option for you-
1) Cycling and running.
2) Jogging and walking.
3) Back muscle exercise to reduce back pain after delivery.
4) You can do meditation and yoga
5) Do not over stretch yourself start slowly and increase it gradually.
6) You can join some instructor also.

Apart from exercise you should take healthy and balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables with dairy product.

I think I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr. Richa
