I have one question. how long after c section you can start doing this?

My second week of doing this exercise, but my belly is so much more flatter that I can fit into the dress that I couldn’t couple of years ago, and my belly didn’t look so obvious as before. It’s working everybody it’s working!!! I will keep doing it! Thank you Doctor and your lovely wife!

I was 9 months postpartum with 3-finger gab. I did this workout religiously for 3 months and I have been able to close it to 1 finger. Guys, this does work! Thank you tone and tighten

[@toneandtighten]

Oh, this is such amazing news and has completely made my day! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@thismamacan3745]

That's interesting to hear. Well done.

[@TheSweetgery]

I have also 4 kids two C- sections and then two normal deliveries, the last one was two years ago. I am really thankful for this Training.. I was doing for the last 8 months a lot of exercises, thinking I was healing my diastasis recti condition, my tissue between was really soft and flexibel and I could go quite deep, and the gap was from 2 to 4 fingers wide going for 3 fingers long above and under the belly button. It was big, and I say WAS, because this 20 minutes every two days for 6 weeks had healed my injury. I was consistent and doing also the LIS Workouts from Tone and Tighten. I am really thankful and amazed. I cannot believe how the tissue is so hard now and the gap is only to one finger wide and just in The belly button. Which I am not sure if that is already normal or I have to do a couple weeks more, before trying normal core exercises but I will still doing this workout for a couple weeks more before doing anything else. Keep the good job! Thank you for your help!

[@toneandtighten]

I am so glad you are seeing great progress and thanks for sharing!

[@aswathybabu7838]

I've been doing this 20 mins exercise from Jan 4th every single day, without a break. Now its two weeks in and I can feel so much reduction in my gap. It was almost 2-2.5 fingers when I started. Today its 1.5 finger gap. Thank you so much!❤❤ I'm recommending your channel to everyone I know who is dealing with DR.. 😁😁

Great job, Cera Roper! Keep it up and you will see great results!

[@laureninsley0313]

Thanks for putting out great content on DR. I am 11 months postpartum and I started seeing a PT at about 4 months pp. I started with a 1-2 finger gap and now I am almost healed. As a new mom I could have been better about staying on top of my exercises, but I am glad I am seeing progress. Anyways my PT is great, but it is nice to have other perspectives and other ideas to keep motivated on strengthening the core. I am very interested in learning more about advancing the basic DR exercises for someone who is almost healed and how to progress to doing regular workout moves like push ups, burpees, things like that. My PT started building in planks including front planks a few months ago (I guess she felt I was ready for regular planks) - I now worked up from 15 sec planks to 1 min in each position. It is nice to track improvements. I have researched so much on DR and I find your videos to be some of the strongest. So thank you! Please keep these videos coming!

[@toneandtighten]

Thanks so much, Lauren! Your comment made my day! It sounds like you are in good hands with your physical therapist - congrats on closing that gap from DR! That is a huge accomplishment and shows others that it can be done with the right exercises. I will work on sharing some more ab exercises that can be done as you progress and are ready for more advanced moves - that is a great suggestion. Thanks for your comment!

[@Kairavee_Edits]

I never knew that I have DR n have been doing the wrong exercises since the past 4 years now. I'm 47kgs and 5"2 and my belly looks like I'm 5 months pregnant! Recently I saw your video and was shocked to know that I'm also having a Dr! Immediately after I rushed a surgeon n after examining me he said that my rectus abdominalis aprox 6 cms apart and needs to do an open RS with miniabdominoplastie to get back my flat abs! I'm going to try your workout n give you feedback! Thanks for sharing this video Jared. God bless you

Hi Guys. I live in Manchester, United Kingdom. I’m a mother of 5 year old. My BMI is good and I look slimmer too. I don’t want to lose any weight but I have a lower belly pooch which really puts me down. It’s loose and hanging a bit. Have tried many videos which includes Crunches, planks etc., I did see results but the loose belly pooch isn’t going away. Fortunately, I came across your video and feel very motivated. Found this video yesterday night and started the workout today morning. I’m hoping to see results in few weeks. I just don’t see these as workout videos but a motivation to all mothers in the world. You should really be proud of your wife, she is doing a great job with the workouts. Good work 👍🏻

[@toneandtighten]

Thank you so much, Ramya! It definitely sounds like you could have diastasis recti and that is what is causing your belly pooch. I hope these workous help!

[@ramyaramaseshan6190]

Thanks for your reply. Quick question - I used to follow a diet plan for weight loss. Now that, I have reached my weight goals, I’m not on diet (yet less sugar and junk food) but doing Intermittent fasting, Skips breakfast, eat a cup of white rice and more veggies, eggs for lunch, 2 rotis for dinner with any veg curries/gravies..Will I see results if I continue to do these exercises just with Intermittent fasting?

I can focus on my breathing, because YOU are gonna tell me when it's time to stop. Plus, you say things that I forget about, keeping me tuned into the contractions and breathing, balancing it all. And it's so effective and brief, to cover the entire matter. I got me a cute little black DRESSS, y'all! Haha... Just the best. Love you, Brotha and sista.

[@BdayBR80]

Hey Jared! Thanks for the video! My wife is recovering from our 2nd kid and I was trying to get some second opinions on exercise , mind if I pick your brain a bit? So I’m in my first year of a DPT program at UNLV and we just went over the different layers of abdominal muscle. Most of the post-pregnancy videos out there seem to focus on the transverse abdominals which makes sense since it will try to pull everything back toward your lumbar spine. However for diastasis recti, wouldn’t you want to initially avoid activating this layer? To me it seems like the two halves of the TA pull the linea alba further apart. Wouldn’t it make more sense for people with this condition to focus on the rectus abdominis instead? Of all the abdominal muscles, the RA is the one with the least perpendicular line of pull to the linea alba. When contracted, I could see these two halves approximating the torn edges of a diastasis more so than the others. Thoughts? -Brady

[@toneandtighten]

Great questions Brady! I love where your mind's at. Let's clear it up... Don't think of the TA as a linear muscle that's "pulling apart"... think of it as circumferential. When activated... it takes the entire abdominal wall and shrinks the entire circumference (basically making a bigger circle a smaller circle). That's what brings the two halves together. The RA, on the other hand, is the muscle that's injured in diastasis recti. You want to avoid contracting it to give the connective tissue (linea alba) a chance to heal. It's really interesting - the test for DR is basically have the patient perform a slight crunch and then you assess the integrity of the linea alba. I've had patients who looked nearly normal and then when they contract the RA there's actually a 4-finger separation between the halves. Fortunately there's a lot that the right exercises can do to resolve the problem! All my best to your wife and new baby as they recover and good luck with your schooling!

[@sashabrown8737]

[@MrsRachelleTX]

Thank you for these workouts!!! I have a question though. This is my 3rd night doing these and I’m not sure I’m breathing correctly while doing the different poses. 🤷‍♀️ I’m contracting my TA, as you stated, but how do you catch a breath while it’s contracted?? As I’m doing the exercises, I have to stop after 3-5 seconds to take a big deep breath. 😩 By the time I’m done with the work out, I’m not sure if I’m out of breath due to the routine or bc I’m just not breathing steadily. 🤔 Your wife makes it look effortless. 😉 Can you tell me how to keep the TA contracted while breathing?? 💪 Thank you again!!!

You should be able to breathe normally while holding the contraction, Rachelle. You might try this workout to get some of these more-basic movements down: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZDKp59-hMalhrM Good luck!

Thank you for this. 9 weeks postpartum after 5th baby/4th csection. I appreciate the pace and the different exercises to keep it from being redundant. I'll continue this until I reach my goal weight.

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome, Nicolette! I am glad you are enjoying this workout and thanks for your comment!

[@FamilyValuesTV]

Whew! That was a struggle the planks were. I definitely felt the burn. Actually more than the crunches I was doing before 🥴. I'll be doing this everyday for 21 days. 💪🏽👌🏽

[@toneandtighten]

Good luck! I hope you see great progress with it.

[@jillhawkins6392]

This routine took my breath away. Definitely will try to do this routine everyday. I have a suggestion for a video, I've got Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to pregnancy and still dealing with it 8 weeks postpartum. Do you have any suggestion to treat it with excercises/stretching? Thanks in advance!🙂

[@toneandtighten]

I'm glad you like this workout, Regina! There are a series of carpal tunnel exercises you can do that really help; unfortunately I do not have a video for it yet. I'll add it to the queue! Thanks again!

[@shereesalazar9312]

How times a week should I do these exercises?

[@shiroookami]

Just finished your 21-day diastasis recti challenge (which completely closed my gaps) and was looking for some new workouts that are safe and won't make my diastasis recti return. This is a good fit for me. Really felt it. Thanks

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome! So glad you are seeing such good results!

[@dariabialecka1070]

Can you share the link to 21-day challenge?

[@sruthijohnson7112]

Great exercise for diastasis recti. Been doing this for around 6 months , almost 6 days a week. N my tummy has reduced more than 2 inches. One suggestion: you can add a timer sound after each workout , like a beep beep or so...:)

[@toneandtighten]

Great to hear and thanks for the suggestion!

Hi. Thanks for guiding us. Your videos are well explained, easy to do Your own. I went to my physiotherapist didn't help me as your videos did. I was following your post baby exercises which fixed my pelvic floor issues, bladder problems, mummy tummy. I have one problem that is I need to tighten my inner thighs. Please let me know which exercises will be better.
