  • Researchers publishing new expert guidelines have emphasized that even small efforts can have a positive impact.

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the journal *Maturitas* which highlights the importance of exercise for new mothers. According to the research, new moms should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week. This level of physical activity is recommended to help manage weight, improve mood, reduce the risk of postpartum depression, and enhance overall health. The study also notes that exercise can aid in quicker recovery post-delivery, increase energy levels, and promote better sleep, which are all crucial for new mothers dealing with the physical and emotional demands of caring for a newborn. However, the article emphasizes that these guidelines should be tailored to individual health conditions and capabilities, suggesting that new moms consult with healthcare providers before starting any new exercise regimen.
