Post Natal Exercise

Appropriate exercise after you've had your baby has SO many benefits. The type of pregnancy and delivery you have had will dictate what exercises are suitable to commence and when. This will be largely guided by your obstetrician.

When you are ready to exercise start with low-impact aerobic activity (like walking) for 20 to 30 minutes a day (which can be broken into 2 sessions) and combine this with strength based exercises to rehabilitate your body.

During the post-natal period exercise (cardiovascular and strengthening) has the potential to:
• Strengthen and tone abdominal muscles that were affected by your pregnancy and the delivery
• Promote better sleep
• Relieve stress
• Help you lose any extra weight you gained
• Improve mild to moderate depressive symptoms
• Increase your energy
