How long after giving birth can I start exercising?

Many mothers often experience deteriorating physical fitness after giving birth, which can easily lead to various diseases. This may be due to the loss of a large amount of nutrients in the body. Therefore, we must arrange our own diet reasonably on a daily basis and improve our physical fitness. It is also necessary to do some exercise. Let's take a detailed look at how long it takes to exercise after giving birth.

Normally, new mothers who give birth naturally at full term can start postpartum recovery one month after delivery, which is almost the time when the confinement period has just ended. However, in cases of caesarean section, the rest time needs to be extended by about half a month to one month.

It is understandable that postpartum mothers want to maintain a good figure, but they still have to choose the right time for postpartum fitness. Otherwise, not only will the fitness effect be poor, but it may also affect their physical health. The choice of postpartum fitness time mainly depends on the physical condition of the mothers. There are really women who go straight to work in the fields after giving birth. But it only refers to a minority.

Normally, new mothers who give birth naturally at full term can start postpartum recovery one month after delivery, which is almost the time when the confinement period has just ended. However, in cases of caesarean section, the rest time needs to be extended by about half a month to one month. You can move around a bit before you finish your confinement period, but never go outdoors.

The reason why women gain weight during pregnancy and even after giving birth is because the curvature of the lumbar spine changes and the abdominal muscles are stretched after giving birth. Additionally, changes in the pelvic joints and hormones released before the birth of the child make back pain a common occurrence after childbirth. Your body will be weak after childbirth, so you should not engage in extensive activities or strenuous exercise. So new mothers don't worry.

There is no fixed time for how long you can do fitness after giving birth. You should wait more than ten days after giving birth before doing some fitness exercises. Otherwise, blindly doing fitness exercises may harm your own body. At the same time, you must choose fitness exercises that suit you and never blindly engage in some strenuous sports activities.
