    What are you girls waiting for?! Not like a C-section would cause any pain...J/K!!!

    So I had 2 C-Sections, the most recent was in May 2010. I started walking as soon as I could, honestly, the more you do the faster you heal! I at the zoo pushing a stroller with my 3 year old at just 2 weeks post partum. So at first, walk, walk, and walk some more! Then after I got the OK from my Dr. at 6 weeks post partum I started doing the EA Sports Active workout on my Wii, but really I think that any workout to get you back into the groove would work. I also threw some Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred in there. Then, in September, 4 months post partum I started P90X. Yes, P90X, and no I was not in shape, I am 5'0" and I was 179 lbs. when I started. I also did ChaLEAN Extreme, which was actually a lot easier to do with the little one because the workouts are shorter but just as effective.

    I still have about 20 pounds to lose, doing P90X again, and just pushing myself as hard as I possibly can. Your incision won't open, you won't tear anything, at this point you can all start giving it your all!

    Send me a message and we can talk about some of the things I did a little more!

    Mee too 8 months post partum from my second c-section, I'm on the yoga tip and 80 crunches a day. also doing planks, but the envelope just wont go down. Now I'm adding the calorie counting in to see if it will make a difference. Good luck ladies
