Body recomposition is increasing the ratio of lean mass to fat mass. Shannon will discuss how to ease into exercise and start to build muscle postpartum (after your provider approves that you exercise), the considerations if you're breastfeeding, and the basics of nutrition for body recomposition. 0:00: Introduction 1:19: Body recomposition 5:03: Postpartum considerations 9:38: Stage 1 exercise recommendations 6:15: Stage 2 exercise recommendations17:30: Stage 3 exercise recommendations18:38: Stage 4 exercise recommendations20:12: Stage 5 exercise recommendations 21:15: Summary of postpartum exercise recommendations 22:44: Postpartum nutrition 24:55: When can you expect change in muscle growth? 14-day free Evlo trialFollow Dr. Shannon on InstagramFollow The Doctor Shannon Show on Instagram
