Congratulations! You’ve just finished the toughest workout of your life and now you are wondering how you are going to balance taking care of your new baby and fitting in some exercise. According to Tracey Mallett from justmommies.com, “Postnatal exercise offers a whole range of benefits for new moms.” However, before jumping into any exercise program it’s very important to talk with your doctor to determine how quickly you can resume back to your exercise routine.
