Couple that with weight gain and here we are. 😂😒 I hope these exercises can help my large tummy go down and strengthen my core. I can barely get of the floor because my muscles are so weak. 😢

If I were you I’d definitely do her exercises but also go look into Dr. berg body types and stomach fat and he can help with the diet portion. You may have gotten your hormones in a state where they are not burning that belly fat and your abdomen is one of the least healthy places to hold extra weight!

I loved this workout! I just had my son via c-section 5 months ago, and I'm just now getting into working out again. I have to keep my workouts shorter, so this is a great video to get my body moving and get my muscles stronger without having to do a 30+ min workout. When I'm able to, I do longer workouts, but some days I just know my little boy isn't gonna give me much time lol this is super easy to follow and doesn't feel too straining on my lower ab muscles like a lot of other work outs did! This is my second time doing this workout, I plan to do it a few more times and once I feel comfortable move to the intermediate. Thank you for this workout!

[@nevenatacheva7458]

Hi, I’ve been trying to close my diastasis recti for a while now and I’ve seen that it isn’t recommended to do poses that stretch the midline, such as cat/cow. I see that it is included here and I wonder why, my understanding is that it would just make it worse.

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Hi! Cat cow is generally safe for DR during the postpartum period. It shouldn’t our excess pressure on the linea alba when done correctly; rather, it releases tension in the abdominal muscles and allows for engagement of the deep core and PF muscles. So, no need to worry; just make sure you are breathing properly throughout and not pushing out/straining through your belly during the “cow” part of the exercise.

I’d say 4-6 deep core workouts per week if sufficient as you begin the healing process, then you can reduce the number of workouts per week and increase the intensity by adding in more challenging core exercises. You can always alternate these workouts with any of my other postpartum core workouts and plans so you aren’t doing the same thing every day! Your body needs some variety!

Thank you so much for your videos! I have a question - if my lower back hurts after doing these exercises does it mean I’m doing them wrong or I am too weak? Thank you!

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Hi! Great question… your back shouldn’t hurt, so I am wondering if maybe your form is compromised. I always like to use a mirror to make sure I’m maintaining proper core engagement and to look for signs of coning or coming in the abdomen, or an excessive arch in the lower back. I’d suggest decreasing the time intervals and really focus on your technique! I also suggest going through my postpartum Ab program. It includes similar movements but spans 8 workouts over 12 weeks to heal your core. Hope this helps!❤

You’ll definitely feel your quads working because they are involved in some of these exercises.

Hi! This workout is geared toward healing your core and regaining core function, which can happen without nutritional changes. However losing fat/weight around the midsection is only possible with good nutrition-not necessarily eating less or fewer calories, but it the right foods to fuel your body. I have a postpartum nutrition plan launching next month on my website! But for now, I recommend eating whole nutrient dense foods and not restricting or cutting calories, especially because you are newly postpartum and your body needs time to heal. Hope this helps. ❤

I have csection around 4 weeks ago, when I can start this exercise?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Make sure you check with your medical provider before starting any exercise regimen! Once you are cleared to exercise, I would suggest starting with my C section recovery plan before this workout. It’s on my channel playlists! 🤍

Can this help upper diastasis as well?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Yes!❤

[@srividyatata]

Thank you.. will try.. 🙂

Hi. Can it work even after 3 years? I am 37.

Hi! It’s never too late to start! I have a Postpartum Ab Program on my “playlists” that will be perfect for you. If you’re looking for a guided schedule, I just launched my KZbin guides on my website! It’s 12 weeks and 72 workouts. laurenfitter.com/programs ❤

Can I do these with the mommy pooch workout?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Yes! It’s a great combo and similar movements!

been a month that I'm doing DR specific exercises and brisk walk but I see my belly buldge increasing. I have a protruding navel and gap of 2-2.5 fingers. Can you help me with this?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Hi! I’m sorry you’re not seeing improvement. My workouts are designed to help heal core dysfunction, but there could be something more/deeper going on that needs more care than I can provide! I wish I could be more helpful but I cannot assess over KZbin! I recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT in your area who can assess you and come up with an individualized plan to help you. 🤍

[@nelly4693]

Okay... Actually I had a confusion, while doing these exercises though belly buldge has increased, I have seen sides of my waist kind of getting defined but belly has become more pronounced like a ball....so is it getting better or worsening? Your inputs will be really helpful.

[@laurenfitterfitness]

@@nelly4693 it’s hard for me to say definitively what’s going on bc I can’t see you to assess the problem. I would really recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT. I’m sorry I can’t help, but also I cannot replace personalized care and therapy and am not trying to! I know it’s frustrating, but seeing someone in person should really help. ❤️

I'm currently doing your phase 3 workouts from the 4 phase post partum ab program. 5 months post partum as of now. do you recommend doing this too?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Sure, you could do this alongside or after the program! This one is only 3 workouts but you could definitely do the beginner and intermediate based on where you’re at in the Pp Ab Program! The advanced workout is comparable to phase 4 in the Pp Ab Program.
