- Abstract
Postpartum weight retention is a troublesome condition for many new mothers. Retention of even a few pounds of gestational weight can increase the risk for overweight and obesity-related health conditions, particularly in those who lead sedentary lifestyles. Exercise has been suggested as a possible weight loss initiative for those in the postnatal period. Thus, this report discusses the issues relating to postpartum weight loss difficulties and recommendations for mothers on how to reduce weight safely, quickly, and permanently through physical activity and exercise.
