After being pregnant for nine months, many mothers are anxious to get back to their normal workout routine. Before you do anything, work closely with your doctor to make sure everything is safe and determine a proper exercise plan for you.
If you had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, it's generally safe to begin exercising a few days after giving birth or as soon as you feel ready. If you had a C-section, extensive vaginal repair or a complicated birth, talk to your health care provider about when to start an exercise program.
Benefits of exercise after pregnancy:
• Promote weight loss, particularly when combined with reduced calorie intake
• Improve your cardiovascular fitness
• Strengthen and tone abdominal muscles
• Boost your energy level
• Relieve stress
• Promote better sleep
