Postpartum – phase 3 (week 12 onwards)

PostpartumIntermediate9 exercisesabout 40 min

Back towards normal training: squats, Romanian deadlifts, step-ups, push-ups, rows, banded side steps and plank. Finally a few light jump squats as a test – if you can jump and cough without leakage or heaviness, you are clear for running and regular sessions. If not: continue phase 2 and the pelvic floor session and ask for a physiotherapist. Recovery after birth is individual. After a caesarean or a larger tear: wait with phase 2 until your check-up says it is fine.
