Hii , you just do only this video? How many times a day?

[@brittanydangerfield319]

I should have commented a year and a half ago, but better late than never. Thank you for this video. I had a 3 1/2 finger gap, a wrecked pelvic floor and a slew of other health issues after my second baby. I made a commitment to follow your video every day. After eight weeks, my diastasis was almost fully healed and my prolapse was significantly better. I then was able to begin strength training for a year and for the first time in my life, had a six pack and a very strong body. Thank you so much for making an accessible and result-producing video! I’m back commenting now at 6 weeks PP with my third and excited to rehab my core again!

[@nourishmovelove]

SO happy to hear this video has been helpful during your healing progress! You are so awesome mama!

I would recommend following this DR program -- www.nourishmovelove.com/28-day-diastasis-recti-workout-plan/

[@addylavallee6389]

I’m 14 months post partum and have been doing this workout on and off for the last 8 months, I stuck with it consistently for the first two. Even though I didn’t have DR I still had really weak core on the right side and a weak back and hips. You’ve given me my waist line back and to this day when I want an amazing deep core workout this video is my default ❤ I would recommend for all people who have gone through a pregnancy to do this workout 3x a week consistently, your overall health will just become so much better. ❤️

[@nourishmovelove]

Thank you so much for sharing!! Keep up the great work mama!!

[@katsons3]

I am about like 31 year post pardum- yes, really! I have a bad diastasis recti and I have always asked questions about my stomach to many many health professionals and all they want to tell me is it is 'extra' skin. I have the 'doming' sitation and did not realize it was not a good thing. I even had trainers and PT for other exercies and no one has addressed it then. * sigh. So at age 50 and 31 years later, I am glad you post this and sharing your time- a great blessing, to help 'us'. I look forward to more of these and repeating this one! God bless!

You can ALWAYS apply these exercises, it's never too late to fix your DR! Keep up the good work!

Did this exercise once and while I slept I felt the after burn in my abs all night. Saw a huge difference with my tummy the next morning. Noticed reduced belly fat and more importantly it was flat...... My tummy wasn't protruding outward and I didn't look pregnant anymore. I then realized the whole time being 9 months pp, I was doing the wrong exercises and that's why I didn't see any results before.

[@nourishmovelove]

[@festmusik19]

Thank you so much for this workout. I tried it a while back, when I was 6 months postpartum. It felt so right and amazing for my abbs, i convinced two fellow mom's to do a thirty day challenge with this video. The difference was unbelievable!!! I haven't had any pain in my lower back since (though i carry around on two kids all day), lost 8 cm around my waist and felt so much more supported during my other exercise. I just told some other mums about it, and they convinced me to do another 30 day challenge with this video again. It was not a hard sell! I am recommending it to every mom i talk to 😂 thank you!

It has been 4 years since my last baby. But I've had 3 babies all close to 10 pounds. I've been doing ab exercises for 3 months and I've noticed very little change in my ability to do the moves nor my tummy changing. I've been wondering if something was wrong in what I've been doing. I started reading about Diastasis Recti which led me to this video. I'm still not sure this is what I have but I feel like this video really taught me how to hold my core which others didn't. So this is just day 1, but 🤞 this will be a game changer for me. Thank you for this video!

Amazing workout. I had my last baby 8 years ago and am finding this so helpful brilliant to have a full length video. Really starting to see and feel a difference. Love your positivity thank you so much ☺️

[@nourishmovelove]

Way to go! Never too late to work on core strength! Keep up the great work and keep coming back for more!

[@Starfly6]

Me too. Doing this after 8 years, ha! It was intense for me since I haven’t exercise for like 3-4 years. I used to be figure-conscious, but somehow I got disinterested and unmotivated. Hopefully I could get back on track and in shape.

[@ania9133]

Thank you! I had major abdominal surgery in September of 2022. I started having a bulge above my incision about a month ago. My surgeon kept telling me over and over to start doing transverse abdominal exercises. But I was so scared as I feared a hernia. I have a 14 inch midline incision. Recently had an ultrasound and confirmed DR. Pending referral to be approved for a physical therapist. Love that I can start small with your video until referral is approved. I have a 4 finger separation at my belly button and 3 above.

[@nourishmovelove]

Oh no - I hope you are doing okay! SO glad you found your way to NML DR workout!

@@nourishmovelove I just did this for the first time. Omg thank you lol. I haven’t realized that these muscles have not been activated for so long. I had to motify some of the movements. But in all I really feel like I got a strong ab workout in. I can do this!

[@Kris-wj1qq]

Thank you for this! Exercises to help recover from DR are sooo boring! So this was perfect to have you walk us through each one. I’m currently 4w PP and I’m so glad I found this video just in time! I will be doing it everyday until I can advance.

Do you follow just the video straight through or do you repeat the video more times? I’m starting today and I’m going to try to make these everyday. :)

[@cm975]

Thank you! I am just starting to be more intense about solving my DR, and appreciate the “company” to push me to do these moves. I much prefer lifting weights or something more active, so some guidance to do these slower moves is very helpful!

I am so glad I found this. Im 2.5 years post baby 3 and found these moves incredibly difficult. Even though I’ve lost baby weight, I’ve had the mom “pooch” that just won’t quit, leaking, and severe hip pain. My doctors won’t diagnose DR but I can feel a 4 finger separation in my lower abs and my friend directed me your way- and WOW my core is way weaker than I thought and these moves were painful (but in that good way of pushing myself)

Just done my first workout, have the feel I will notice this few minutes in my core tmr. I'm 5 weeks post partum and feel fabulous, so this seems like a good way to ease in. I have a 4cm separation so lots of work to be done to get me back 🙌

Still again great video.

[@nourishmovelove]

Try modifying by dropping only one leg to the outside of the mat and return to the starting position, then dropping the other leg! The muscles in your inner thighs are working to stabilize your legs on the way down and it might just not feel good for your body right now!
