Postnatal Exercise Advice
2009-03-17
Exercise will accelerate your postnatal recovery. And you’re already off to a flying start after the toughest workout of your life. Your body has become more efficient during pregnancy and that’s a great place to start your postnatal exercise regime.
Abdominal Recovery
Tuning in to your deep abdominal muscles will help you get those flat abs back and increase your core stability.
Pelvic Floor
Pelvic floor conditioning reduces the risk of incontinence. It can also enhance your libido!
Stamina
Just by being pregnant your body has undergone a natural training effect resulting in improved heart and lung function and increased circulation. You’re fitter than you think!
Natural High
Studies show that postnatal women who exercise experience positive mood changes. Exercise-induced endorphins, fresh air and a chance to work those gossip muscles will enhance your overall well-being.
Back Up
Reduce the risk of back and shoulder injury from carrying your baby by learning correct lifting techniques and improving upper body strength.
Fatburning
Exercise that increases your heart rate and makes you breathless (with Pushy Mothers of course!) will help you burn off the extra baby fat. Get active three times a week.
