I'm not sure what "working out heavily" means for you,  but you need to wait until at least 6 weeks,  and after you're completely though bleeding.

It's great that you want to get back to rigorous physical activity.

I am planning on being on recovery for 2 months. I hope everything goes well so I can start in a month.

Natural birth and one with an epidural are pretty similar in terms of recovery time. Doctors recommend waiting 6 weeks to start with intense physical activity but it honestly depends on the person and how you are personally feeling. They say breast feeding also helps with being label to be active. The recovery time for a c section is longer due to it being serious invasive surgery. The staples take longer to heal along with the chance of the would becoming infected or slit open so lots of movement is painful and can be unsafe. Ask your doctor they know best. Good luck
