Apple Fitness+ has various workout options from core and strength classes to pilates and meditation, but the platform also has a number of programs to help you meet your fitness goals. One of those is a portpartum program, designed to help new mother's get fit after having a baby, no matter what delivery they had.

The program follows on from Apple's Stay Active During Pregnancy program, which has 10 episodes and is designed to help expecting mum's stay active during a healthy pregnancy. The Get Back to Fitness After Having a Baby program meanwhile, has seven episodes at launch and it's designed to help you post pregnancy.

Here is how to find and access the Apple Fitness+ postpartum program and what it offers.

What does the Fitness+ Get Back to Fitness After Having a Baby program offer?

It has been designed for anyone that has recently had a baby and there are different options to suit, no matter what delivery you had, though Apple does advise you speak to your doctor or healthcare provider before you start the program. 

The Core workouts within the program are designed to reconnect your core. They will help you rebuild your core and back strength, whilst also working on your pelvic floor. You'll also find upper-body, lower-body and full-body strength workouts, where you can use one light to medium dumbell, or just your bodyweight, depending on where you are at in your fitness journey.

The Get Back to Fitness After Having a Baby program also has Mindful Cooldowns that include stretches that target common post-pregnancy tight spots and meditatoions that focus on themes like self-care and patience.
