Exercise using sidekicks:

When to attend:
It is normally recommended that after 6 weeks of a normal baby delivery a woman can go to attend these classes but it is always better to consult your doctor before commencing the classes. Also a period of 8 weeks to 12 weeks is recommended for women to wait who had a caesarean baby birth.
