As a mom of 4, I know the feeling of wanting to workout before you get to 6 weeks postpartum. I personally think movement and strengthening exercises as soon after birth as possible is the best. I know I focused on Pilates, Barre and strengthening exercises as soon as I felt up to it after the birth of all of my boys. Mentally and physically I felt so much better if I spent some time working on getting my core back engaged, and feeling a little back to normal. Of course you can not take my advice as medical advice, and I am just another mom sharing my opinions and experience.
Since I’ve fallen in love with Peloton (the best workout for moms!!), I put together a free workout plan of workouts I consider safe before you are 6-weeks postpartum. These are workouts that focus on healing your postnatal core, strengthening your glutes, and rehabilitating your body, so you are ready to jump into the serious workouts at 6 weeks.
