How Soon After Giving Birth Is It Safe to Start Working Out Again?

For moms who had a C-section, light activities like walking are recommended after about 2 weeks to aid circulation and healing, while more intensive exercises may need to wait until 6–8 weeks postpartum, depending on the healing process.
