Georgina and Ronaldo have been parents last November 12 of a girl they called Alana Martina, a name that already aims to become a trend for 2018. Last Monday, the mother decided to start her fitness routine again, so she went to the gym of his partner, and there he made a video that went up to his Instagram profile in which he is seen doing exercises with balls.
User comments were not long in coming criticizing her for resuming the exercise so soon, just eight days after giving birth.

"It hurts you to exercise so soon after having baby!" (guzman_genoveva
"That type of exercise just given birth is not good ... you force the pelvic and abdominal floor a lot. There are other exercises."
"The doctors do not recommend exercise until after 6 weeks after delivery, what kind of message are we sending to the young women, that the most important thing is a perfect body, why don't you have time to go back to being great, besides the turgidity of a Newly born woman with her baby is beautiful ... I can't get into the head of this kind of women, of course! X I don't follow them "(covatya)
"When a body is used to this type of training. Nothing stops it. Also in pregnancy. There is no risk." (medina.ssahron)
The comments were not missing either because she was in the gym instead of taking care of her daughter.
"Is it that sports do not mean taking care of your daughter?" (anamirrales)
When and how to resume exercise after childbirth
Let's see what is true in these comments and the nuances that exist regarding when and how to exercise again after delivery.
The truth is there is no standard time set for all women, because each one is different, some have a faster recovery than others. It will also depend on whether it is the first birth or not, and the woman's age. And of course, the exercise the mother did before giving birth is very influential.
This girl is a professional dancer and has exercised all her life before becoming pregnant, and also continued with her usual routines during pregnancy. We don't see her in the video doing anything too intense for her training level, nor can we know if she trained two hours or if it was only a five-second video to promote the gym.
That said, the general recommendation is that the return to exercise after childbirth be gradual and progressive. Usually, if you exercised throughout your pregnancy and had a normal vaginal delivery, you can perform low impact exercises without problems, focused on toning and stretching, such as walking, exercise bike, soft abs, etc ... There are women who feel good to start days after giving birth, provided that others are not required or feel discomfort.
Before resuming your physical activity it is convenient that consult with your doctor or midwife, whatever the way you have given birth. And if you have not exercised before or have had a C-section, it is advisable to wait at least four to six weeks after delivery, always with the authorization of the doctor.
However, if you have had a C-section, it is advisable to start walking gradually to help recover from the surgery.
