World-class acrobat Karyne Steben, formerly
of Cirque du Soleil, shares her secrets for postpartum
weight loss in this fun and effective video. Using her
daughter, Azia, as resistance for her postpartum exercises,
Karyne takes you through 1 short workout for the first
month postpartum and 2 15-minute workouts for when you
get your doctor's approval to exercise. And just as
she answers questions about pregnancy in her previous
video, The Perfect Pregnancy Workout, Karyne explains
the dos and don'ts of postpartum exercise in an easy-to-understand
twelve-minute instructional section.

The workout starts out easy and gets more challenging
as your baby grows, allowing your body to become
gradually stronger, leaner and more defined.
Thanks to staying fit during pregnancy
and doing postpartum exercise, Karyne was back down
to her pre-pregnancy weight and looking great just
four weeks after giving birth!

The Perfect Postnatal Workout is an
enjoyable bonding experience between mother and baby,
appropriate for
any woman who wants to get back in shape after giving
birth who has permission to exercise from her doctor.
Always exercise care and support the neck when handling
your baby. Check with your pediatrician before starting
exercises that lift the baby higher than your shoulders.
