For new moms, physical activity and social support have the potential to positively impact mental and physical health. In fact, new research shows that group exercise programs for postpartum moms may offer unique opportunities to (re)engage with exercise while navigating new childrearing responsibilities and changes to the body.

If you gave birth less than 12 months ago, consider participating in an online survey to help researchers better understand the physical activity experiences of early motherhood: www.surveymonkey.com/r/movingwomenforward.
