This narrative review is aimed to practically review and evaluate the existing evidence and illuminate the effectiveness of physical activity, yoga, and exercise for postpartum and midlife weight management. A comprehensive review was conducted using electronic databases such as PubMed and google scholar using search terms physical activity, exercise, yoga, postpartum, midlife, weight loss, weight reduction, and all the probable terms. This helped in generating evidence-based information and formulating practical physical activity prescriptions to be used by obstetricians, general clinicians, nutritionists, and other allied healthcare personnel. Overweight and obesity in postpartum and midlife women present long-term health risks and complications. Indulging in optimum physical activity comprising exercise and yoga will help in weight management, increasing muscular strength, and endurance thus improving overall health and well-being.
