Exercise classes for new mothers after childbirth
This study looks at how a 12-week exercise programme that includes aerobic workouts, strength training, and pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) might help new mothers recover after giving birth. It aims to see if this programme is practical and acceptable for women in the early postpartum period.
