Best time is when you feel you are fully ready. Minimum wait time depends on each women age, fitness, body, type of delivery, etc - best is to get OK from your gynae to be on safe side

Around 8 weeks after birth sounds good, to be frank I did some swimming around 4 to 5 weeks but caught a cold, so it's true that the body takes time to recover!

6-8 weeks after.. but start with light exercise first. https://www.babycentre.co.uk/a196/when-can-i-start-to-exercise-after-giving-birth

When you feel that you are ready and wound has fully recovered. I started exercising after my confinement...

Each mom heals differently. Best to check with your doctor as she will know your healing process the most

I don’t think there’s a best time. Most importantly is that you feel physically ready to tackle it :)

On my 5th week im on the threadmil for my cardio walk . 1hour x3 times a week

Best to get clearance from your doctor during the 6 week PP visit.
