As busy as a new mother is, it is still advisable for her to make an effort to get some moderate exercise and work towards a gradual increase in stamina, muscle tone, and overall fitness.

The exercise doesn't have to be anything that is heavy, moderate and regular are the key aspects here as this way you will also enjoy it, although you won't start seeing the benefits immediately.

It is best to start things relatively easily but do not expect that your post pregnancy weight loss is as quickly as someone else as it is down to your own genetic makeup and how many pounds you gained during the pregnancy.
