7 weeks postpartum and running?

Question

I had a normal delivery no c section and just a small tear that healed quickly, Do y’all think it’s okay to start doing so extreme cardio at 7 weeks postpartum? Anything that gets the heart pumping like running or even doing some squats and ab workouts. 5th baby btw if it makes any difference

Answer

The amount of babies is irrelevant. If you got cleared by your dr then go for it! But I wouldn’t start extreme. If  it’s been a while going to hard can hurt yourself & you can pull a muscle or something. Start with light jogging & work your way up so you don’t injure yourself.

Answer

Personally I prefer to slowly work my way back into working out. My second was a nice uncomplicated delivery but getting back into running was slow and hard. I didn’t have a pain after birth until I tried running the first time.

Answer

As long as your doctor has cleared you then I think it would be ok.
