What aerobic exercise is suitable for postpartum confinement?
During postpartum confinement, it is suitable to do some low-intensity and low-impact aerobic exercise to help the body recover and keep healthy. Here are some recommended exercises:

1. Walking: This is the most basic and safest way to exercise. You can adjust your pace and walking distance according to your physical strength and comfort.

2. Yoga: Postpartum yoga helps to restore physical flexibility, relieve stress and anxiety, and also helps to improve the quality of sleep. However, it needs to be carried out under professional guidance to avoid doing some actions that may cause pressure on the abdomen.

3. Swimming: Swimming is a whole-body exercise, which can exercise all parts of the body, and the buoyancy of water can reduce the pressure on joints. However, it should be noted that swimming should be avoided for a period of time after delivery (usually 6 weeks), because the uterus is still recovering at this time, and water activities may increase the risk of infection.

4. Doing housework: light housework is also an aerobic exercise, such as sweeping the floor and wiping the table, which can help the body to regain its vitality.

5. Do postpartum recovery exercise: This exercise is specially designed for postpartum mothers, which can help restore the strength of abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.

Before starting the above exercise, it is best to consult a doctor or a professional postpartum recovery coach to ensure the safety of the exercise. At the same time, pay attention to the body's reaction during exercise, stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable, and seek medical advice in time.
