Exercise After C-Section
Doing exercise after c-section can be tough, I know, I struggled with it myself after both my C-Sections.
But getting the proper exercise is important for boosting energy, getting your body and muscles back into shape and just overall feeling better about yourself.
After my first C-Section I didn’t do any exercise, however after my second C-Section I did do some exercise but it just made me sore. I also had a very demanding baby, so between feedings, housework, errands and chores, it didn’t leave me much time to exercise.
As I began to feel worse about myself I realized that the difference between me and other women, who had flat stomachs and looked great, was that they actually taking action.
That was a wake up call for me. My shape wasn’t going to come back on its own, I had to make it happen and exercise, as much as I hated it, was the key.
One of the things I did was walk. I still walk to this day. Walking boosts energy and gets your leg muscles in shape. It’s also great for your heart. However, walking isn’t as powerful for getting rid of your belly sag, and for C-Section moms that’s a key concern. That’s where abdominal exercise helps a lot.
Exercise can certainly help you look and feel your best, but care should always be taken after having had surgery. That’s because exercise after a c-section isn’t the same as for women who gave birth vaginally. More care needs to be taken.
Here’s what I recommend before starting any exercise after C-Section.
- Follow an exercise regimen, specifically designed for c-section moms. This is how you will burn your pregnancy fat quickly yet safely while helping you avoid injury.
- Don’t start any exercise regimen without your doctor’s approval
- Avoid Sit-Ups and crunches, they do very little to target the low belly sag that pregnancy leaves behind. They can also cause injury to c-section moms.
- Try some basic breathing to engage those deep abdominal muscles and build that strength.
- Next, increase your energy by doing little things and doing them often
- Eat the foods that boost circulation of healing nutrients throughout the body but at the same time help you burn fat.
If you’ve had a C-Section and you’re anxious to begin exercising, get a hold of “The Essential Guide to exercise after a C-Section“ by Jago Holmes. It demonstrates the exercises that are most effective for losing belly fat, and they’re safer. You’ll have a flatter, more attractive tummy in just a few weeks time because you’ll be targeting the low belly sag that most exercises don’t tackle as effectively.
