When you have a newborn like weeks or months old what kind of exercise can you do

Question

I know this may be a dumb question but when they are that young can you run with the stroller? Or what are some other ideas?cardio seems like it would be hard.

Answer

I run with my regular stroller because it's all I have. I live out in the country and have tons of hills.  The road is paved. My son loves going for stroller rides.

As long as you are cleared by your doctor you can do whatever exercise you want. There are plenty of postpartum exercise Web sites. Those will be your best bet.

Answer

Yes you can run with the stroller but make sure it's a jogging stroller specifically made for running

Answer

I think most jogging strollers say not to use them as a jogger till babe is 6 months and has good head control both must be met. But you can do a lot of walking.

Answer

You can start stretching and doing yoga type activities, then after you're cleared at your six week check up, you can start working out more vigorously. You don't want to push it too far, too fast, while your body is still healing.

Answer

I would take it easy on the cardio until the baby is at least a couple months old. Pilates is a low impact, yet highly effective option you can do at home. Check out Cassie Ho's Blogilates on YouTube.

Answer

Even just walking with the babe is great. You can do lunges while pushing a stroller, too
