Diet exercise is not recommended within 42 days after cesarean section because diet exercise generally refers to aerobic exercise of more than 30 minutes, which is not suitable for mothers within 42 days after delivery and cesarean section wounds have not healed. Breastfeeding women should also not engage in strenuous exercise such as jumping rope, playing basketball and fast running before their bodies have fully recovered, so as not to cause uterine prolapse and muscle relaxation.
