Regular exercise following your pregnancy can help you return to your pre-pregnancy weight more easily, improve or maintain muscle tone, reduce leg cramps, swelling and constipation and improve sleep patterns.Exercises that are appropriate during the first six months after the birth of your child include walking, swimming, post natal exercise classes, water aerobics, and low impact aerobics. You can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise program as you feel able, but avoid any pain or discomfort.Make sure your abdominal muscles and pelvic floorhave regained sufficient strength before you recommence sport, aerobics, running or heavy lifting. You will require a minimum of twelve to sixteen weeks of exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles before you return to your normal exercise routine.
