When can i workout?

Question

When is it safe to start working out, doing sit ups, intense cardio after giving birth? I’m two weeks post partum, I tore and had stitches, still bleeding slightly. I’m ready to get rid of this pooch!

Answer

I would say 6 weeks. your body needs to heal after an ordeal as birthing a human lol.

Answer

You need to be cleared by your doctor. Generally 4-6 weeks that will happen. Then you need to ease back in. Too much activity before you’re cleared can cause extra bleeding and can also prevent you from healing fully. Take it easy until you’re cleared. Then give yourself grace and be patient as you begin to work out. It takes time. I started training for a 100 mile bike race 6 weeks postpartum and was back to my prepregnancy weight within 3 months. But my hips didn’t fully go back down for about 6 months. And my tummy was never as flat or tight because I never worked it out as well or consistently.

Answer

I started at 4 weeks but I wish I would have waited until 6. It made my bleeding worse and I think I messed up my abs, they’re still separated 2 years later 😞
