Diastasis Recti Workout 2: 10-Minute Postpartum Pilates Abs (Beginner)

[@heathereagle2984]

I'm 13 months postpartum and I have been pretty active - my son needs extra stimuli and I wear him in a carrier daily. I go up and down stairs in my house, I do squats, I hold my son a lot. Lift him up and down for fun. Go on multiple mile walks. I got to my pre-pregnancy weight within 9 months postpartum. And last month my butt shrank down to as small as it was in high school 🫠 and not in a good way - a pancake butt. I realized that I still have 2.5-3 finger gap between my abs and that I need to do targeted exercises for my abs. I'm on day 3 of this and my core is so sore! It's insane how much 10 minutes a day can do! Thank you so much for posting his program for free! You are a life saver

It is concerning how many women (myself included) that still have not received appropriate, updated education, access, and options for pelvic floor therapy/therapists/consults.

This program is so good. I’m on day 5 and can really feel the difference already. I’m actually excited to continue to day 30 and see the change. I have two children. One is 7 almost 8 and my youngest is 2. I had a separation the first time but didn’t address it properly. I bought programs and tried but they were always too long or too complicated. So naturally after the second baby it got worse, 3-4 fingers wide. I cannot believe how much improvement you can make in just 10 minutes a day with focused exercise. I’m so grateful for this program

[@jennasosa7740]

I think it would have been helpful to have prompts to remind us to be drawing up "that blueberry" at the beginning of each exercise.. I've been through Fem PT twice after my second and third and my PT emphasized the importance of this. I think it's crucial for people to realize this video is a supplement but doesn't replace them going to PT and I appreciate that this individualized care was a point of conversation here. If your Pubic Symphysis is in pain while doing any of these, the moves are too advanced for you and you need to back off.

So glad you are loving the DR program! Soft doming during exercise is a good gauge to determine how your body is managing pressure. Soft doming is when you can press your tissue inward vs. hard doming is when the dome is firm. Hard doming usually signals your tissue is working to its max capacity. You want to aim for soft doming, and scale back an exercise if you’re noticing hard doming! This video is a helpful resource -- instagram.com/reel/CsWind3s7mq/

[@jenm473]

I have begun following these, but not watching fully (doing other things while previewing), but it made me wonder. I am in a very different phase. I have had several surgeries for one issue or another (first 1 for C section years ago, last one for precancer in uterus and cancer in lymph nodes). The last 1 was last year. I did some after post surgery "yoga" at that time that focused on that after surgery (may have been more like pilates). Anyway, because of other issues, I struggle to do heavy core work (intense I mean).And I hardly feel or see my core 9probably should add the last surgery put me in menopause). because of not being able to find what I can do specifically for abs/core, my low backis getting weak and feels almost like its sliding? i could be imagining that, but it does not feel good. I know my abs are weak. I do some standing core work, but due to also having some inflammatory arm issues (among many other things) I cannot lift high (my arms) or swing hard- I can swing a kettlebell, just putting arms overhead with weights, so that takes out a little of the standing core workout I have tried to do in some workouts. I guess my question is, what is for me? i can't do intense workouts anymore anyway due to autoimmune issues and have to watch inflammation (i do move daily). Are workouts like this useful for me to follow to feel my core working again? I don't have the diastisis recti issue, but that is the focus on a lot of workouts I've found like this or post surgery. I thought I would get it back with yoga/pilaes type things till the arm issue came along. If you know of someone, or workouts ingeneral i can follow in my "so many issues its weird" issue, please let me know. Thankyou so much and all the blessings to both of you and your families!!

[@nourishmovelove]

Hi there! Thanks for sharing this. Based on what you've mentioned, I do think these pelvic floor/core recovery exercises would be helpful for you. To be totally transparent, we use titles like "diastasis recti repair" because they're great keywords to help these workouts show up on Google and KZbin so eyeballs are seeing them and we can continue to provide free content. While this is a great workout for diastasis recti repair, it's great for building foundational core strength as well. I'd recommend adding to your routine 3-5 times a week. If a pelvic floor physical therapist is an option for you, I'd recommend that as well.

I am confused by the inhale and exhale as you do legs slides We inhale and then exhale on pushing our leg out ( or if advanced dropping the leg) but what are we doing as we bring our food back in (or up)? Is that a continuation of a exhale or are we now inhaling again? thank you

[@nourishmovelove]

Exhale on the hardest part of the movement. You will inhale again and exhale when pushing your leg out.

[@applesauceandhoney2407]

@@nourishmovelove wow 1- thank you for taking your time to reply!! right but there seems to be 3 parts of this movement inhale readying oneself to push out the leg (hardest part but it is also hard to bring the leg in again keeping a contraction. So that is why I am not sure are we inhaling when bringing the foot in or extending the exhale? Meaning breaking down the move are we inhaling and getting ready as we fill our bellies with air, then exhaling as we push out the leg and then what as we bring it in (inhale or exhale?)

Hey there. I'm currently doing your DR workouts you uploaded 1 year a ago. I try doing them everyday. I am nearly 6 months PP. I was told I have 4 finger separation by my midwife and my belly has a doming shape and I still look pregnant. It's been around 2/3 weeks I've been doing these exercises. However, I tried checking how much my gap is and weirdly I can feel the separation just 1 or 2 fingers apart. Its not been long since I've been doing these exercises and also my belly still looks the same, so I'm not sure why that is? Im also eating healthier as well as doing the DR exercises. I also have loose skin, could this be loose skin or is it DR. It does look like DR to me from what I have researched. Just wanted some advice. Thank you

Thank you for sharing this content and bringing attention to PF therapy. It is concerning how many women (myself included) that still have not received appropriate, updated education, access, and options for pelvic floor therapy/therapists/consults. Be it pre/post baby, health conditions, illness, injuries, surgeries, prolapses, etc. Bless you and the team for highlighting, informing, and providing some resources! Keep at it! 👏🏽
