Regular exercise and a sensible diet are the best ways to lose weight after pregnancy and childbirth. Postnatal exercise is as important as antenatal exercise, but it should be commenced gradually, particularly if the delivery was through a caesarean section. The exercise routine should be individualized too.

How Does Postnatal Exercise Help?

• Prevents low back pain and conditions abdominal muscles

• Restores body shape and promotes weight loss
• Improves cardiovascular fitness and restores muscle strength
• Improves mood, relieves stress and prevents postpartum depression
