Giving Birth To Smart Post-Pregnancy Fitness

Earlier this week, we related to you some tips that a runner could put into practice if she is pregnant.  Now, the author of the original article that we linked to has come out with another piece focused on improving a workout after the baby has already come.

If you’re a new mother who wants to get back into fitness as soon as possible, that article is worth your time.  The author first discusses the importance of plentiful rest prior to heading out on the track, comparing the act of giving birth to a marathon.  Once you’ve had a few weeks of rest and then talked with a healthcare professional, you can ease back into your workout, setting time aside to jog and gradually increasing the intensity as you go.
