Depends on type: If you had a c-section, resume formal exercise around 6-8 weeks. If you had a natural birth (and assuming there were no pregnancy/childbirth-related issues) you may resume exercise activities within days to weeks from when you gave birth. Regardless of birth mode, i would recommend gradually working back toward the level of activity you were at pre-pregnancy and checking with your OB first.

1-4 weeks: Depending on conditioning at time of birth, n return to your workout routine as soon as you feel comfortable.Cardio, core, and moderate weight training are excellent choices. Mix it up to avoid overtraining.

Depends: It depends on how physically fit you were to begin with. If you had a vaginal delivery then you could go back to your regular exercise routine as soon as you feel up to it. If you had a c-section then i would advise you to wait three months. You need to give your abdomen time to heal.
