🏋️‍♀️ Returning to Higher Impact Exercise After Birth

Many women want to return to running, gym classes, or weight training after having a baby. But before progressing to higher load or impact activities, it’s important to make sure the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, and healing tissues are ready.

Postpartum recovery isn’t just about time — it’s about how well your body manages load and pressure.

💡 A gradual progression helps protect the pelvic floor and abdominal wall while rebuilding strength safely.

⬇️ Read the comments below to learn what clinicians assess before returning to higher-impact exercise.

🌸 Postpartum Exercise: What Happens After 6 Weeks?

Many women are told they can “return to exercise” after their 6-week check, but recovery after birth is a gradual process — especially for the pelvic floor and core muscles.

At 6 weeks, healing is still ongoing and your body may still be regaining strength, coordination, and support.

💡 The key message: Progress exercise gradually and make sure your pelvic floor is ready for increased load and impact.

⬇️ Read the comments below to learn what is recommended from 6 weeks and what changes after 3 months.
