Get Fit After delivery


Here are suggestions, courtesy of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, to help get you started exercising after delivery:
-Begin exercising at a slow pace, especially if you didn't exercise much during your pregnancy.
-Always start your workouts with a warmup and end with a cool-down period.
-Work out in a supportive sports bra.
-Start out with regular power walks. You can take baby with you in a stroller.
-Work your way up from walking to more difficult exercises.
-Consider joining an exercise class that's designed for new moms.
-Look for exercise programs at a local gym or fitness center, community center or college.
