Expert Q&A
Question:
Before I was pregnant, I regularly attended a vigorous exercise class. When can I return to class?
Answer:
For vigorous exercise, you will probably want to wait until your baby is about 3 months old. Perhaps you might consider how long the class is, and see if you are able to walk briskly for the same amount of time. If you can tolerate an increased heart rate for that long without feeling fatigued, then perhaps you are ready to return to class. If you're not ready yet, you might check out videos or classes that are specifically for postnatal exercise. Postnatal classes are geared toward the new mother's body.
