When to start working out again?

I love using the eliptical and I used it up until the ight before my induction so I am kind of missing it. I am seeing my dr tomorrow so I'm going to ask when I can start that again. Also plan on walking the malls again, which I started around 1 week with ds.

So when are you starting to work out ?

I had a c-section and I was told nothing more than walking for 6 weeks. Bummer!

I was told all I could do was walking until 6 weeks.  I am so ready to get back to running.

I was cleared at 4 weeks to return to my normal work out schedule.

I've only been speed walking with the stroller because I am too worn out to lift weights just yet. Once LO sleeps longer at night I'll get back into lifting/toning with weights.

I tried to start weight watchers and working out at 3.5 weeks pp and my body totally collapsed. I was breastfeeding as well, and barely sleeping. It was bad. So I let my body rest, started getting regular sleep, and three weeks later, I am now back on WW and using my elliptical. I would try to take it easy a while longer and definitely ask your doctor. Mine yelled at me when I told her I was on WW while breastfeeding 3 weeks after my c-section.

I got cleared yesterday (6 weeks) and started working out again on the treadmill at at a brisk walk with incline.

I started walking around the neighborhood around 3 weeks and at the end of the day felt like my vagina was going to fall off or a brick was going to fall out of it.  I started again last week (4 weeks) and it was much better. I'm also doing a couple exercises that DH showed me to tone up my arms without using weights.  If I get cleared at my 6 week appointment I am stopping by the gym on my way home to get a tour so I can really start working out!
