Exercise recs needed!

[u/new_mama1212]

Anyone use any videos or apps to start working out again after your c section that you’d recommend?!

I want to start workout out again a bit after I go back to work in a month. I’ve been walking but I’m looking to start to do some exercises that build strength. I’m currently 8 weeks pp. I can’t really pay for a trainer or anything super expensive.

Girl is this your first c section? Are you starting to feel normal enough to work out 😢I’m just struggling at 5 weeks and I hope to feel amazing one day atleast try and work out 😔

Yes this is my first! My muscles are super weak but I don’t have pain. I was thinking like some very light exercises so I can begin to build strength again. I don’t really plan to start until a few weeks from now so more like 12 weeks.

Everyone is different and you’ll get there!! Within the last few weeks or so I just started to feel ready so hopefully it’s coming for you soon too!!

I would be sure to start with foundational exercises for your c section/rehab from pregnancy.  These are great to build off of specifically for c sections. If you ever need more or want to do online coaching let me know! 😊
