It is very important to exercise after pregnancy as it will aid the healing process, help strengthens the abdominal muscles, relieve stress, help tone and shred some of the weight gained during pregnancy, and other benefits. How soon one can start exercising after pregnancy will be determined by the type of birth she gave and whether or not there was any sort of complications during the pregnancy and during labour, and in any case please contact your doctor as to when is the right time to start exercising.
