Get fit after baby is born

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.
  • 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.
