How soon after giving birth can I start postpartum exercise?

0

According to the American Council of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, with your doctor’s approval, you can start postpartum exercise as soon as you feel that you are ready. Start slowly- give your body time to heal. If you have diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscles of more than three fingers width, do modified versions of abdominal exercises until the gap has narrowed to two fingers. If you had a C-section, wait at least six weeks before beginning abdominal exercises.
