Exercise after C-section: 5 safe moves

Once you get your doctor's permission to start exercising, try these five gentle moves. Dara Bergeron, founder of Belly Bootcamp, leads you through this low-impact workout that helps you build up your strength and take pressure off your tummy. Start with two to three minutes of diaphragmatic breathing and then do eight to 20 reps of each exercise—only do as many as you can with good form. Try doing these exercises daily, slowly building up your reps. If you feel any pain or unusual pressure, talk to your doctor before exercising again. And make sure you are practicing these easy stretches that will help realign your posture.
