I was out walking within 2 weeks and doing my workout videos within 4. Judging by other posts I've seen I recovered a lot faster than most though.

I go on a mile or mile and a half long walk with my LO in the stroller or Ergo every night. They are slow and easy though. I plan on adding other things in depending on my doctor's opinion at my 6 week pp checkup. I'd love to start Zumba again if she clears me for it!

I waited until 6 weeks. I started with a pilates class to try and strengthen my pelvic floor and core muscles first. It was so difficult! But it got easier after a few classes. I then started doing cardio about a week later but modified it a lot until I could keep up with the classes. By six months pp I had lost all the baby weight!

@swedishfish: I go around dusk - our neighborhood has a little walking trail that's lit, so if it gets a little dark while we're still out its fine. I would go in the early morning when it's cooler but I still feel like a zombie due to C's late night benders he's been pulling lately

I started going on long walks as soon as I got home from the hospital. I had a relatively uncomplicated birth but did have a tear so I don't know that it was a great idea. I got tired pretty quickly since I was already exhausted anyways and I was still sore so walking didn't really help matters. At 3 weeks pp I started jogging a bit along with walking. I was jogging really slowly but it was nice to start moving again.

I waited until 6 weeks, but I started bleeding pretty heavily, so I had to stop and wait until 8 weeks, and then I was allowed only light walking until I could walk without any spotting/ bleeding. I hemorrhaged during delivery, so my OB was concerned with continued blood loss.

Six wks! Then got more serious at 8. Did shred everyday 4 mths pp

I did walking/light jogging at 3 wks pp because I really needed to do *something*. But I didn't really workout until 7 weeks pp
