Many new mommas are eager to lose the baby weight shortly after baby is born and want to know, “When is it safe to workout?” Doctors recommend waiting until after your first postpartum appointment which is 4-6 weeks after birth. I recommend that you listen to your body. If you’re feeling good, had minimal blood loss and tearing, you may feel up for a walk. On the other hand some women may feel really low energy, and or experienced excessive blood loss and tearing and should wait even longer to exercise. The key again is to listen to your body, and regardless of your experience start off slow–like with a low-moderate pace walk, then work your way back to where you left off.
