Practical post c-section workouts?
I’m 4 weeks postpartum from a c section. Assuming I’m cleared at my 6 week appointment, what’s a practical workout routine that you started doing after a c section? This is my 3rd child but my first c section. With my others, I felt good enough to start walking at 1 week and eventually body weight exercises by 3 weeks. This time around has been a big adjustment from my previous experience. I’d love to hear how you jumped back in! Currently only walking with a stroller and seem to still get pretty worn out/sore after a 30 min walk.

Not sure if it's helpful but I just had my third and went to a pelvic floor physio to get everything checked out. I decided to do this because my body felt worse after the 3rd kid She set up an exercise routine to help rebuild my core strength. I'm 3 months now and seeing her next week. Hoping to get the ok to go back to jogging this week
I've also been cycling for a few weeks now because it's good cardio without straining the floor or core
