Exercise after Pregnancy

Start exercising
· Develop a personal exercise plan. Think it through, before you start.
· Ideally, recruit a partner, a friend or another new mom to exercise with you.
· Aim to work towards a regular 30 minutes exercise, per day.
· Set little goals, like 10-minutes of exercise each day, then gradually increase it.
· The best time to start exercising is about 6 weeks after the birth.
· Hollywood stars are often photographed working out within hours of the birth of their child. This is not healthy. Do not be tempted to copy them unless you do so under expert professional care.
· Pay particular attention to strengthening the pelvic area.
· Remember: exercise gives you more energy, not less.
