Katie from Dinuba California Asks…….
Question:
Hi Pat! I am 4 months postpartem and I am exclusively nursing my son. Is it okay for me to work out? If so how much of a workout can I do? Should I still follow my prepregnancy routine or do I need a modified routine. I still have about 40 pounds that I need to lose from the pregnancy.
Answer:
Hello Katie…..congratulations on the new little one! 
As always I recommend asking your doctor before starting or changing any kind of health or fitness program, but in my opinion I see no reason why you can’t get back in the swing of things!
Don’t be in a huge rush to get back to working out full steam directly aftwards, but you are 4 months out. After a vaginal birth you can begin exercising 4-6 weeks after your baby is born. Because a cesarean is surgery, you need to wait 6-8 weeks before exercising again.
Just remember to take it easy and start out slow just as you normally would when you start an exercise routine.
Hope this helps! Please feel free to leave any comments here. Click below!
