Your post-natal exercise regimen

It's important to consult with your doctor before starting an exercise program. What kind of delivery you had will determine how quickly you can resume your exercise routine, but it's generally advised that you wait until your six-week post-natal check up.

Once you get the green light and feel up to a regular exercise routine, I recommend Pilates for core conditioning and weight training and cardio for weight loss. Try to fit in two or three weekly sessions of cardio activity (walking, running and hiking) for 30 to 45 minutes, plus general body conditioning at least three times a week.
