Apple Fitness Plus now includes post-childbirth exercise routines

Two iPhones displaying Apple Fitness Plus programs for pregnancy.

After giving birth, postpartum exercise is something that should be navigated consciously and safely. Apple Fitness Plus is stepping in with a new workout program tailored to this period, called 'Get Back to Fitness After Having a Baby'.

Apple Fitness Plus is an service built around the Apple Watch, with an existing range of workout collections. There is already a 'Stay active during pregnancy' collection.

Aimed at helping new parents reconnect with exercise and themselves, the new post-pregnancy collection offered by Apple is hosted by coaches who are mothers, some of whom gave birth just about a year ago.

The actual coaching takes into consideration their own experiences in tandem with advice from an OB-GYN physician. Some exercises include strength and core, including a few that focus on the pelvic floor. There are also mindful exercises based on stretching, with advice on patience and self-care for new parenthood.

Apple Fitness Plus' new program is suitable for people who have had a C-section or vaginal delivery, offering modifications depending on active levels during pregnancy and how intensely one would like to start exercising again.

The service is priced at $9.99 a month, and can be shared with up to five family members.
