I was recently cleared for exercise after having a baby, so I’ve been very eager to dust off my favorite dumbbells and get back to work. Despite my enthusiasm, I knew I’d have to rebuild my deep core strength first before attempting most of my pre-pregnancy routine.
However, I did feel strong enough to incorporate some upper-body exercises into my postpartum program. I was doing military presses consistently both before and during my pregnancy, so I decided to kickstart my return by doing 20 military presses every day for a full week.
