Well I know you need to wait after 8 weeks and get your okay thru your MD.  With my c-section 4 yrs. ago, even after 8 weeks I was not ready for exercise.  I had a hard recovery.  I was in pain months later.  If you are almost there,wow for you.....your body must be handling things quite fine.

I also had a c-section and was told to wait 3 months before exercising.  If you feel ready for it you can do walking.  But enjoy the time off.  My baby is now 7 months, I only started exercising again 2 months ago and in that time have lost 7 kilos and my fitness levels are nearly back to what they were before pregnancy.
