To get back into a postpartum exercise routine, new mothers should always be realistic and patient. It took around 40 weeks to form the pregnant body, and it could take nearly as long to fully return to your pre-pregnancy self.  No matter if your labor is quick, long, or surgical, the body undergoes a huge transformation to expel a baby.

Bonus: These can be done while baby does tummy time so both mom and baby get stronger together!
