Exercise Baby

The main thing about exercise after c-section is to wait until your incisions (i.e., stitches) have healed.

Before you try to exercise after c-section get the go ahead from your doctor to start an exercise program.

Once you have the go ahead from your doctor to exercise after c-section, try these exercises.

1. Walking. Walking is the best exercise after c-section for getting your body used to the idea of exercising again. Start with short strolls around the block with our baby in a stroller. Then lengthen your walks and maybe start to jog or run a little.

2. Kegel exercises. While the main point of kegel exercises is to strengthen the muscles of the vaginal wall, they can also help to strength pelvic muscles. So you can continue to do these exercises after birth.

3. Yoga. Be careful of anything that will stretch your abdominal muscles excessively. Otherwise, you should be able to perform basic moves like warrior I, pelvic tilts and supported bridge. You may be able to find postpartum yoga classes at your local gym or YMCA.

4. Pilates. Pilates is excellent for rebuilding your core. Listen to your body and make any modifications that will make the exercises easier and comfortable.

5. About your abs...start slow. Don't over do it or you run the risk of permanently damaging your ab muscles. These will probably be tender for awhile.

Use these tips to exercise after c-section and you'll lose weight reasonably and you get your body into proper shape without hurting your body more.

Conquering Depression and Anxiety Through Exercise (Paperback) $26.92 For most psychiatrists, the automatic cure for depression and anxiety is the almighty antidepressant (or SSRI), but these don`t always work, are only a temporary solution, and can have all sorts of side effects. In this informative, scientifically well-researched book, Johnsgard makes the case that norepinephrine and dopamine (the "feel good" molecules in the brain) are produced in abundance as a result of regular exercise, and thus can combat depression and anxiety much more effectively and permanently. Part of the benefit of running, Johnsgard notes, is something called the "heart rate reserve," in which the basic "fight or flight" response to stress becomes much less pronounced. An angry boss, a screaming baby on an airplane, or a cocktail party full of complete strangers might not even raise the pulse of an anxiety-sufferer who is getting used to regular cardiovascular exercise. Johnsgard backs up his case by devoting a large middle portion of the book to presenting the facts of conducted research studies: epidemiological investigations of exercise on subsyndromal depression, "walk-run" therapy, biochemical effects and theory, and the merits of anaerobic vs. aerobic exercise. There are also chapters devoted to helping the depression sufferer find the motivation to begin a regime of exercise, as getting started can be the hardest part of all.
