At about 4 to 6 weeks postpartum — or earlier if you're physically able — add the exercises that I will be mentioning in later posts to your workouts. To make these exercises more effective, you'll need a pair of 3-pound dumbbells, a pair of 5- or 10-pound dumbbells (available at sporting goods stores), and a resistance band (an oversized rubberband that you can use to create resistance, also available at sporting goods stores). To increase difficulty, add repetitions, sets of repetitions, and/or more weight.Begin each workout with a warm-up: Try five minutes of marching in place or fast walking. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds. Cool down afterward with some light stretching.
