Hi lybrate-user, it?s best to wait until you?ve had your 6-8 week postnatal check with your gp before returning to your pre-pregnancy levels of exercise. If you weren?t very active before your pregnancy, this is a good time to start exercising. Try to build up gradually and stop if you have any pain. Once you have recovered from your c-section and no longer have any pain, it?s usually safe to start low-impact exercises, such as swimming, yoga, gentle jogging and low resistance gym work. Wait for at least 12 weeks before starting any high-impact exercises, such as aerobics, running and resistance or weight training. Hormones can affect your joints for about 6 months after the birth so start off gently.
