Hi guys I had a C section 5 months ago and looking for some advice please in regards to exercise. I'd love to start getting fit but not sure how much to push it. I'm active every day but would love to start adding some daily exercises into my routine.

    I would think at 5 months you'd be fine but maybe check with your obstetrician. Most are cleared for exercise after 6-8 weeks...12 weeks for more strenuous exercise. My wife is a runner and she started jogging again and was back in the weight room after about 12 weeks from her C section.

    Check with your doctor first if you’re not sure.

    I was fine after 8 weeks with my 4.
