The Best Postpartum Exercises for New Moms  (Workout Included)

- The safest exercises you should do postpartum plus a simple workout to get you started!

Are you a new mom looking for the best postpartum exercises for new moms? You are in the right place!

In this post you are going to learn:

Part 1: Core & Pelvic Floor Exercises

The first thing you should do are kegel exercises!

This exercise can be performed prior to pregnancy, during pregnancy, and in the immediate postpartum period.

Next, you need to activate your transverse abdominis

Diaphragmatic breathing is another great exercise to teach you how to activate your core muscles as you take deep breaths.

Then you have to reset your pelvis

The posterior pelvic tilt is another great exercise to activate your pelvic floor and core muscles while realigning your pelvic bone.

Glute strengthening exercises

To strengthen the core and pelvic floor even more, you can do the glute bridge which can strengthen your hamstring and glute muscles.

Walking

Walking is one of the best, underrated exercises and one I strongly recommend prior to conception, during pregnancy, and immediately postpartum.

Part 2: Bodyweight Exercises

The squat is the best exercise for toning all of the leg muscles including: quadriceps, adductors, and glutes.
