I get a lot of questions about what to do postpartum for getting back to working out. My best advice is start slow. You are postpartum the rest of your life so it is important to chose the correct types of workouts that don't injure your body. With new moms the first thing we talk about is getting your breath back and connecting with your pelvic floor. Once that happens we run through some specific core exercises that won't damage or injure the healing muscles, ligaments and joints. Things to avoid: crunches, planks, and burpees. Anything that stresses the transverse abdominis muscle. Any questions please ask!
