[header] How to exercise after childbirth [title] Wait until you feel ready. [step] Many healthcare providers have advocated for waiting at least six weeks before exercising after giving birth. Recently, though, it's been found that you don't need to wait, as long as you had a normal vaginal delivery without any problems. 
If your delivery had complications, or you had tearing, you will want to wait until you're healed to exercise. Otherwise, you can resume exercise as soon as you feel ready to do so.
