The Best Postpartum Exercise
Would you like to know the best exercises are after your
delivery? When it comes to post pregnancy weight loss, no two
exercises are alike!
In the time frame immediately after pregnancy, you will probably
want to stick with light activities such as walking or
flexibility training. Stretching will help keep your body limber
and help the blood circulate through your body, causing you to
feel more refreshed as the day goes by.
A few weeks after pregnancy and delivery however, you can engage
in some more vigorous activities. Here are our top suggestions:
- Yoga/Tai Chi
- Aerobic Exercise
- Running/Jogging
- Swimming
- Walking
- Elliptical/Stair Climbing
- Hiking
- Strength training
Basically anything you do to keep your body moving will help you
burn those pesky calories and thus lose your pregnancy weight.
There are even some exercises that you can do with your baby.
Get out the stroller for example and go for a walk with your
newborn. You will appreciate the fresh air and the physical
activity.
There are also many classes that are now available for moms with
new babies. Check your local recreation center or gym for more
details. You can also play running and jumping games with your
baby as you grow together.
