How many weeks or months it has been since the birth changes what a woman’s training programme looks like, and its aim is a return to the shape she was in before pregnancy (or better). The first thing to remember is that if the training is to be safe and not do more harm than good, it has to be graded and taken without hurry. In postpartum training, the first thing to attend to is restoring function, and then activating the pelvic floor muscles and the deep abdominal muscles.
