DIASTASIS RECTI: 5 Bad Habits Making Yours Worse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- Avoid making these Diastasis Recti mistakes because they are making your ab gap worse. Exasperating your Diastasis Recti causes an increased mummy tummy - pooch appearance in the stomach after having babies. Changing these habits will help you get the most of out of your diastasis recti healing exercises, so that you can successfully close your gap, have a stronger and more intact stomach, and flatten out the abdominal wall postpartum.

- Favorite nursing pillow. I keep one upstairs in the recliner in my baby’s room and another one downstairs so there’s no excuse not to use it. Big brothers help bring me the nursing pillow whenever it’s needed! This cover you can zip off to wash is so helpful and the pattern hides milk leaks so much better than a solid color cover: amzn.to/2QEvIED - Навчання та стиль
I’m a graduate from Ashley’s 12 Week Postpartum Plan and I can say that I hands down think it’s worth it! I was finally able to close my three finger width gap because of her plan and my confidence shot up. I felt stronger all over, had more confidence, felt amazing, and felt so accomplished when I graduated! She is extremely talented and knowledgeable!
Hey wow. That’s great. Did you
Manage to close the gap in 12 weeks?
Carrie thanks so much for sharing this! I'm so proud of you.
13 years ago they were like “yeah that happens” and they did absolutely nothing. This contributes to hernias if not healed. I’m just now finding your videos
Dido! 14 years ago my son was the beginning of the damage. Now I have 3 kids and I'm 40 and HATE my tummy! And have so much pain in my back
This is why I believe some of those belly binders / post partum corsets seem to work: the corset itself does nothing, it just makes it harder to make these "wrong" movements, and forces you in the "right" position.
Like you can't sit up in an abdominal crunch on the bed if your corset is on super tight, you HAVE to roll off.
I love the sign on the wall behind you
thanks Sarah, so glad to meet sisters in the Lord!
Thank you so much for sharing this. So many things I was not aware of and will be mindful of now.
Love your videos! On week 7 of your 12 week post pregnancy plan now after baby number 4 and loving it!! I cant wait to start your 10 minute plan after i graduate your 12 week plan :) your so inspiring!
@@glowbodypt I am very excited! Going onto week 9 starting monday feeling great!
Thank you for this information! Love your wall art behind you
Love the message on your board. Amen!
Thank you!
This is so incredibly helpful!!!
Just purchased, downloaded, and printed the 12 week PP plan!! Really looking forward to starting it! =)
I'm excited for you Jolene!!!
I wasn’t even checked by my women’s health specialized physical therapist. There literally cannot be enough awareness spread like your video here. I so wish I had known.
I am so grateful for your workouts - they have made such a huge difference for me!! Also: Can you tell me where you got the sign behind you? I absolutely love it!! ❤️
This is golden!! The picking up baby training, I never knew I needed. 🐣🙌🏼💗
Thanks for having the humility to learn! Even small posture and habit changes that we do hundreds of times per day add up and tweaks for the better make a difference!
I work in OT and even I ended up with a repetitive use injury with new baby from ergonomics. It’s called “mommy wrist” or DeQuervain syndrome. if you google it. It’s basically avoiding picking up or holding baby in a certain way that kind of cocks the wrist. Hard to explain, just best to google it lol
Thank you for this!!!! ♥️♥️
This is absolutely true I had to bring the attention to my doctor at my 6wkncheck up after my twins and they told me I will have to do surgery to get rid of it
Your amazing. I totally enjoyed this. Totally helpful. I needed your information and you made it so easy to understand. Thank you.
Absolutely. I'm here to help and really care about each woman getting the best results. If you haven't yet watched this, you will want to: ua-cam.com/video/KKnLFwfMpEQ/v-deo.html
Ashely, you are the best!
Thank you for being here Maegh!
This is the best 👍🏾👍🏾 thanks so much😍
Yesss! Being a new mom I didn’t even know what DR was! I learned quick after realizing I still looked pregnant at 4 months PP. I got the gap closed from 3 fingers to a finger in a half. And noticed it wasn’t getting better over time. Even though I was doing everything the same! I put two and two together and realized my daily habits. Duh why didn’t I think of that? 🤦🏻♀️😂 Also, even though my ab workouts are DR safe, my other muscle group workouts however were not. And now I’m stuck trying to figure out which ones are safe and okay to do to help close this gap. Thank you for sharing! Especially for new moms. 😩
It’s seriously mind blowing to me how shitty postnatal education is. It’s improving I think (!) in the internet age but there is so much focus on caring for baby (important of course) and mostly the acute first few weeks of recovery for mom, but so little for the after that re: ergonomics, core, pelvic floor recovery, this, etc etc. especially as more of us are having kids later our bodies don’t always rebound as easily
Oh, my goodness! Thank you! I've been picking up my 2-year-old and 11-month-old twins all wrong! I've been doing exercises to heal my severe DR for a few months, but I've been doing all of these 🤦🏼♀️no wonder i haven't had a huge amount of change. Thank you, thank you!
Congrats on your 11 month old twins AND a two year old you are lugging around as you run your home. I'm grateful to have you here and glad this was helpful.
Thank you do much!!!
I love this video, so helpful!
Glad it was helpful Zsofi, I'm here to help if you need anything!
So helpful...Thank you!!
Healing DR is what I specialize in and I am SO GLAD this was helpful for you babe.
You are awesome!
Thanks a lot, I got this from years of squats with no belt. Im a big buff dude and got this. I got the baby lady condition. I dont feel so buff now hahaha. Thank you!
Praise the Lord for your video. Thank you so much for sharing what you know. New subscriber here.
THANK YOU!! Honored to have you here. I hope you'll join me and introduce yourself personally on Instagram too!
🙏 Thank you!
it’s true. I’ve made it a personal mission to educate every coach, trainer and instructor I work with. And they don’t dare try to push me to do moves where I don’t feel stable
enough to risk it. Most had no idea (I didn’t either, AND i work in rehab, took the prenatal Ed classes, prenatal group ex, videos…not even my doctor or women’s health PT even checked me for it. 5 years after a bad muscle pull in my back, years of chronic pain, chiro, endless physical therapy and home rehab it was determined a DR had contributed to my core and pelvic instability. I had no idea and trying to get my core strong postnatally withOut the knowledge she shares, made it worse. I don’t flinch at doing modifications during my classes.
Seriously... I do all of these! 😂😭 Good timing. I am five and a half months postpartum after baby #2. I did the 12 week plan and the 21 day challenge (love them both! I'm addicted to your workout plans!), and my abs seemed to be doing great, and then I restarted the 12 week program with a friend (which starts easy on abs) and I feel like my mummy tummy came back! So I will definitely be more mindful of these things. Any other suggestions for me? Thanks for posting!
Thanks for this video and the worst exercises for DR video. I am starting your 12 week pp plan next week hopefully after my 6 week appt. I'd been planning to supplement with some easy rock climbing but since I do have a gap, I'm now thinking that might not be a good idea! I understand that I could get away with some hang boarding if I was using proper form. Do you agree that careful hang boarding would be ok but probably not rock climbing? Thanks!
I too am just finding your video…my doctor just told me I have D.R and I’m 64! I have a pouch that I just can’t get rid of! Now I know why!
Love this! Thank you 😊
This is so helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad! Honored to have you here Nila.
You're going to love this video then too: ua-cam.com/video/KKnLFwfMpEQ/v-deo.html
Your baby is beautiful!!!!
I think you are just delightful!!! Also I would really love to do your 12 week program but I am afraid that I will quit on myself. Sadly, I have a big tendency to do that. Also I am 2 years post partum with my twins already.
hey! just reading your comment; do the plan! It will be so worth it! I am on day 1 so we can be accountability buddies. there's actually a whole private FB group through her plan where gals can encourage each other, ask questions and keep going no matter how far postpartum you are! :)
It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, you can still fix your gap!
I had my 2nd baby 6 months ago, I didn't know any of this. This was so helpful! I have a lot of habits to fix 😬
It's not your fault Lacie. Unfortunately most women don't know about Diastasis Recti because providers rarely take the time/have the time to fully educate and check for DR at postpartum check ups. The good news is you are learning and taking action to close your DR now! You need to watch this video as well, to be as fully educated as possible as you prepare to rehab your Diastasis Recti whether you follow my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan (doing the ab workout of th week 3x per week instead of once per week since you're about 6 months pp from your second baby) or with an in person women's health specialist. ua-cam.com/video/KKnLFwfMpEQ/v-deo.html
This video is the other one you need to watch: ua-cam.com/video/KKnLFwfMpEQ/v-deo.html
@@glowbodypt I didn't know about diastisis recti until months after my first labor. Now I am pregnant again, only one month in, and I really want to strengthen my core before baby grows big.
What exercises can improve diastisis recti during pregnancy?
I am am super worried about not being able to vaginally deliver due to this core issue. My first labor was vaginal, and my baby was 9 lbs 9 oz. Is this worry reasonable?
Could you please give us any advice about healing diastasis recti after having c section, if we stil can do those exercises for healing it or should we do some other type of workout, thank you very much in advance, your very helpful 😊❤️❤️❤️
Hi. I'm almost 2 years postpartum with my 2nd baby by c-sec. I have a tough ab gap and belly pooch. Need advice on how I can get along with reducing the gap. Thanks
I have been doing all of these at 3 months post partum, no wonder I'm sore! I'm going to start your 12 week post pregnancy plan soon, I just wanted to know how strong our pelvic floor should be before we start? I can hold for 5 seconds at the moment. Thank you! So excited to start your plan and close my ab gap!
Thank you so much! I bought your program a couple of weeks ago, but wanted to wait until that pressure feeling disappeared and I could improve my hold. So I will definitely begin it :) That is impressive it only takes you 2 months pp to get that! You're honestly an inspiration to so many mummys out there, encouraging them to look after themselves and prove you can be stronger than you think. Thanks again!
It’s so frustrating that so many fitness instructors and personal trainers have no idea about which exercises are bad for diastasis.

How can I get the 12 week postpartum plan?
Hey Ashley..
I am doing ur 12 weeks PP plan right now.. entering week 5..last weekend I realized my posture is not right n working on correcting the same.. I have the following doubts n questions;
1) As per our email conversation before, I have been wearing a binder for 6 to 8 months..and now when I started the 12 weeks plan stopped wearing it completely n realized that my gap has become lil bit more than before..is it OK n common in these cases ?
2) what is the best posture while sleeping so that I don't put pressure on my abdominal muscles?
3) I practice an Indian dance form called Bharathanatyam.. should I continue it ? Will dancing affect the abdominal muscles by any chance?
4) I was told by my PT & GP that I should always suck my tummy in.. when I was wearing binder all the time this was ok..but now I manually try to suck my tummy in..it is OK till half a day n after that I am not able to constantly do it.. will this make my DR get worse?
5) Is it OK to do stretching like lying down n keeping legs against the wall.. standing n keeping the legs on table n so on with DR?
Sorry to shoot so many questions.. I am struggling to close my DR for almost 20 months now.. I am 5 ft 2 n 118 pounds.. I was very conscious about my diet n did not gain weight during pregnancy.. but since I am petite I ended up have a 3 fingers gap DR.. which I was diagnosed PP 10 months by my GP..as my OBGYN said the gap will close automatically during my 6 weeks check up.. since my check up with GP i am trying everything to close the DR but it is not happening.. this is my last ray of hope.. hoping I too can close my DR and live without terrible back ache.. thank u in advance Ms.Ashley for ur time n consideration!!
Best Regards,
Sudha
Hi
If one can achieve normal belly with the help of excersise then what is the use of belly wrap after postpartum? Pls advise
Omg! Great explanation. I did all of that lol.
You need this new video I just shared a few weeks ago, too! It covers evvvvvverything in a way that's easy to understand and helpful for you.
Hi there! I just came across you for the first time. I am interested in your 12 week postpartum course. I am 2.5 years postpartum. I never had the support to get back to exercise consistently. I just wanted to know more about the course for someone like me who is trying to cure an old diastis recti. I am extremely serious about working out consistently with a plan that works.
Thank you so much for your reply! I knew I could heal through exercise, but I couldn't find anyone providing "agressive" action for someone in my position. Love it! And love that you are a woman of faith! I'll be seeing you in that FB group soon.
Cab you do this 12 week challenge even if you don’t have Diastasis Recti? I’m weeks postpartum not sure if I do or but it seems like my lower belly has gotten flatter but still not fully flat which I know that will take time but I want to work on it.
I’m sorry if it’s been asked already, don’t have a lot of time to dig through comments but… if you miss a day on the PP 12 week program, is it better to do it the next day and bump everything back a day or to skip the day completely or to do two workouts the next day?
Hi, is baby wearing (in a sling) ok? I have a slight gap that I am trying to close. I also do some carry fit classes where I am wearing my baby. My baby is 5 months old.
I can’t find your 12 week program to get rid of the gap.
I have a visual problem that makes me need to get in really close to see while changing diapers and it’s causing me to cone when I do it. Can you recommend I hold my core a certain way in order to keep from coning? Or should I wear some kind of a brace while changing diapers to keep my body from being able to bend in such a way that I cone? A Belly Bandit perhaps?
It should be medical practice to educate or at the very least check women for DR. When I brought it up to my obgyn all she said was that she hadn't heard of DR in 20 years & to just wear a girdle 😒. My regular dr wasn't much help either, the physical therapist I saw didn't help much either. It's like we're flying blind out here not knowing how to help ourselves.
I have 4 kids, ages 1-6. I started out my first pregnancy working out often, staying very healthy, and ignoring instructors in youtube videos when they would say "If you have diastasis recti...." because I thought I was all good. Each progressive pregnancy really worsened my diastasis, even though I was working out throughout them, I didn't realize that I was doing the wrong things at times. I bought a program that hasn't been helpful at all. Your videos are the best. Thank you so much for making these to give me actual movements and workouts that are safe. I think I'll probably need surgery at some point... my diastasis seems to fluctuate depending on time of day, but mostly it is 3-4 fingers wide and very deep. It's kind of deflating. I also nursed/am nursing each kid til around 2 years old, so I had no idea that leaning over while nursing was worsening it.
Your videos are great, thank you!
Genevieve, thank you for your kind words. I really feel for you and that's super frustrating you've been struggling with DR for a while now at 3-4 fingers. We have had tons of women (including twin moms) who start at a 3-5 finger width gap at the naval and get it closed down to 2 or less. So I am still hopeful for you and hope you're able to mitigate needing surgery. You are right that in some rare circumstances women DO need surgical repair, but most often it can be closed down to a solid 2 with the right full body, progressive approach.
How about chores that need bending, how do you propose to do them? What posture
Well this explains why my gap went from 2 fingers to 4 😧
Oh no, I'm really sorry that happened to you. But also glad you took the time to self-educate from this video and you're taking action to repair your gap now! I hope you caught this video too: ua-cam.com/video/KKnLFwfMpEQ/v-deo.html
I have severe diastasis, had surgery and it didnt work. My abdominal wall was so weak my organs just pushed it back out. I dont know if i can help it with physio because i still have a small V where the surgery was plus the top 3 inches below my breast bone is 3 fingers open cuz the surgeon didnt do it
My gap is more than six had my baby three years ago now I'm getting bad back and pelvis pain to the point where I can't put on my clothes myself it hurts doing exercise too
Omg I have seen so many videos about this And I just dont know how ro exercise my gap back after having 3 kids by c section. The youngest is 3 years now and still I breast feed when she wants but shes eating normal aswell but dosn' t want to let go of the breast feeding especially during sleep time! And yeah I do have a belly poch. What exercises can I do to get somewhere. Thanks you look great and fit👍
@@glowbodypt ok will try thank you
Does this also applies to women during menopause ? We end up with weak muscles and can end up with a bulging abdomen .
Thank you so much! This video is so helpful. My baby is 6 months, and my abdominal separation is still quite significant. My OBGYN told me there was no need to address it if I plan on having another child. Is there any validity to her statement? I am definitely going to try to avoid making it worse.
So glad this was helpful Victoria and congrats to you on your 6 month old baby! I'm tracking you have significant Diastais Recti that's gone unaddressed. Come over to my Instagram page @glowbodypt and you'll quickly see the *benefits* of closing down your Diastais Recti in between each baby as much as possible! You'll not only decrease your waist circumference and flatten your abs visually, but how you are able to control intra abodminal pressure improves your posture, reduces back pain, improves core functionality so you can get more fit and toned, and most women just *feel better* when their abs and pelvic floor are intact. In case you weren't tracking, the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan will be on sale THIS FRIDAY: Nov 24th for Black Friday. There won't be another sale for 6+ months. You keep your plans for 10 years -- so you're covered for each postpartum recovery you may have down the road with other babies.
Ashley, your 12 week postpartum plan was a life saver for me, thank you :)
When I was pregnant, I did your prenatal plan, and it kept me mobile and strong throughout my pregnancy.
Hi! Regarding #1, should that rule out deadlifts while healing?
Depends on the severity of the DR, how far postpartum, and individual's current aptitude to control intra abdominal pressure. In general: No barbell deadlifts in the first 5 months pp, even with no diagnosible DR. Dumbbell deadlifts absolutely can be eased in however during Phases 2 and Phases 3 of DR rehab.
NOT EVERYONE CAN BREAST FEED !!! Please do more what not to do and the position on how to do w every movement
Thanks mam for good video .my mummy tummy is to out .what else we can do n eat
@@glowbodypt thanks mama
Can one have diastasis recti even not being pregnant?
I have it BAD!!!!. On to baby 6 I feel like it’s never going to get better 🤦🏼♀️ I’ve also had 5 c sections and it also makes everything so much harder. I do a good job getting my strength back and losing all the weight but I definitely have been making my “gap” worse. I sit up in bed with baby in my arms after nursing. I know it. I pray after 6th baby I can be smarter. I think allot of my workouts made it worse too. Pull ups. 😬
So happy!
Hi Ashley,
I actually bought my diastases recti in by 2 cm right after having my baby. Primary from doing one of your UA-cam videos that I found post physical therapy. I appreciate you sharing that video, because it really did help me. That was three years ago will this 12 week program help now? Again, my daughter is three years old now. I would love to safety close the gap completely. Please advise thank you.
Nadeene, it's Ashley. So nice to meet you. It sounds like my Ava is the same age as your daughter! : ) Keep in mind the rectus abdominis muscles (the "6 pack") are 2 long sheathes of muscles in the front. You can never completely close the gap to zero because they are 2 muscles. Pre-babies most women have 1 finger gap (and men do, too!). So to get you down to less than 2 fingers is really the goal. 2cm is right there in the gray area-- but you may not have DR at all if you feel like it's less than 2 fingers. If I were you and my gap were exactly 2 fingers at 3 yrs pp, I wouldn't do it, instead I'd move straight to my 10 Minute Plan which is more advanced (but not for DR). But if your core integrity is compromised to the point that you feel like your abs are plunging 2 knuckles deep when you self check- this would warrant doing my 12 Week PPP and repeating the ab workout of the week 3 x per week instead of once per week since you are 3 yrs pp and need that more aggressive approach to stimulate response.
How do I ge5 started. I had two myomectomies and have a 7 year old.i never heard of this. I just did coolscupting but now it seems like a waste. Every other part of me is fit but I look pregnant. Help.
Hi RC, it's Ashley. I'm tracking you delivered 7 yrs ago, you've had two myomectomies and you've recently learned you're struggling with unresolved diastasis recti from all those years ago. You are not too late. www.glowbodypt.com/12-week-post-pregnancy-plan-2 Message me on instagram and I can share so many screenshot inspirations from other moms like you who started past the typical postpartum season (years later!) and made significant visible progress on the integrity of their abs. I'm confident you will make real results too - not anything like the temporary trick "cool sculpting" offers that doesn't last more than a few days. www.glowbodypt.com/12-week-post-pregnancy-plan-2

Can I ask a question along the lines of nursing? What if I'm the opposite, ajd instead of bunching over, I'm more laid back or to my side. Are those still harmful positions?
Leaning back, sitting up right using a boppy or nursing pillow, or side lying in bed are wonderful positions!

On the days when there is no strength training I have been riding my bike on an indoor trainer. Now realizing The biking position has you in a forward position putting stress on the abs. should I stop riding and just stay with walking/jogging till I finish the 12 week plan?

Hi I hv 6 months old baby but I cn feel I hv diastasis recti . What should I do
My last child is now 11 and my gap has become unmistakable. I think I always had it but it wasn’t really bad until I just recently had my gall bladder out and lost a ton of weight and then gained it back. Now it is a huge pouch straight down along with a small hernia and doc says no way to fix it except surgery? What do u do this many years after pregnancy?
GoldGlitter- tell me your first name so I can remember you! It's Ashley. You can also message me on Instagram and I can show you proof from other women who are 10+ years postpartum with their most recent "baby" who have successfully healed their ab gaps by following the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan. Having unresolved DR for this long, your stomach will not get better on it's own. It will either stay the same or get worse, depending on your posture/habits/movement patterns. I recommend getting the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan this weekend. Open it up as soon as you purchase and watch the WATCH FIRST video right at the beginning. I explain exactly what you need to know and what has been especially effective for women just like you who are past the "typical" postpartum season, but have long-term unaddressed Diastsis Recti ab gap that needs to be closed down. I'm confident you will be rewarded, you will LEARN so much, and you will love what it does for your body if you stick with it. www.glowbodypt.com/12-week-post-pregnancy-plan-2
I didt know theres something like this, After 4years of birth with my 1st child.. Thrn when i check theres 2 finger gap...

Can we place baby on c-section belly 6 weeks after delivery???
Yes you may.
How are you supposed to do a little lunge or a squat after Glute Sculpt. 😂
I m 2 n half month postpartum, n my DR is making me really conscious of my body shape, I feel like as if i m not going to get well from this, 😣, I m doing some of ur tips everyday, but my doc said I need sticthes inside like tummy tuck if didn't go inside after 40 days. Can I use ur exercise, is it possible for me to get back my body?
Please help
Of course exercise can close down your Diastasis Recti Iram! You are not too late at 2.5 months pp. My 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan is designed specifically to heal Diastasis Recti. Maybe what your doctor was guiding you towards was umbilical hernia repair?
So I am 30 years out fro childbirth. I have suffered since from lower back pain and now arthritis. I have a large diastasis and it can not be fixed surgically bc they say it's cosmetic and insurance won't cover. I will be 60 this year but would love to try and fix this. Is it possible now???
Awwe Christine, I feel for you. Tell me more. What does your arthritis restrict you from doing in everyday life / exercise? This will help me determine if you are capable of doing my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan even though you are 30 yrs from your most recent baby. I also want to hear your measurements of Diastasis: above the naval, at the naval and below the naval. Just respond to me in here and I can help determine if this is the best fit for you or not.

I'm too late, years of bad picking up babies.
Ok so I had a baby 3 years ago and then another one 19 months ago. My D. R. is absolutely awful. My sister asked me if I'm pregnant again 😭 is it too late? I'm still up 12 lbs and most of it is in my belly I think.
Nanday, it's Ashley. I hear you that you had your most recent baby 19 months ago and you're struggling with long-term unresolved Diastasis Recti. You are NOT too late! I promise. DM me on instagram @glowbodypt and I can share feedback from women just like you who had severe gaps, getting asked if they were pregnant all the time which I know is humiliating (I've been there), and still closed their gaps at 18 months, 24 months, 3 years, 5 yrs pp! I'm very hopeful and sure for you that the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan will close down your gap, flatten out your stomach and make you feel more confident.
Mine is my upper tummy. The bulge looks like im still pregnant YEARS after my kids were born. What can be done now?
If a woman has this problem can she do squat?
❤
Omg i wish i saw this earlier, now i have hernia and still this belly which doesn't go away
Marizela, I'm glad you are here now! Do you have an umbilical hernia? Groin? Pelvic floor?
@@glowbodypt well, it is lumbalic sacral disc hernia
Hey I have recently discovered that I have 2 finger DR . How bad is it you think. I look 5 months pregnant even after two year post partum. Can we fix it.
It’s exactly the same like you posted your before picture in the video. Need help.
What you are describing sounds like unaddressed diastasis recti and you should absolutely get on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan to close down your gap to a solid 1. Click and go workouts will show you exactly what to do, no guess work, and get results at improving the integrity of your core. www.glowbodypt.com/12-week-post-pregnancy-plan-2 Since you are 2 years postpartum, I need you doing the ab workout of the week 3x per week (such as Mon/Wed/Fri) because your body needs that more aggressive approach based on what you described. Many other women who are 2, 3, 5, 10 yrs postpartum have had success on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan. I'm very confident and hopeful for you to make progress if you commit and stick with it too.
@@glowbodypt thank you so much more your response. So I need to exercise three days a week. What’s the duration of these workouts and do I need any equipments . I have none.
@@bobolink82 You need dumbbells (5 and 10lbs is good for most women -- this is 2.5 kg and 4.5 kg) and a stability ball (the big blow up type). Workouts are 30 minutes or less. The ab workout of the week you'll be doing 3 x per week though is only around 12 minutes. : )
@@glowbodypt I plan to buy your program by next week. One last question I can jog as well thrice a week. Will it make my DR worse ?
@@bobolink82 Great question and that's awesome you like jogging (I am a runner, too!) You can absolutely jog on top of the plan as long as you have good form. Watch this video to understand what I mean when I say do NOT have an anterior pelvic tilt when you run. ua-cam.com/video/0Fly9dEqVhY/v-deo.html
I did all of these, but with twins.
Oh babe, I feel for you. Promise it is NOT your fault as many doctors have extremely limited time windows for postpartum check ups and don't check women for Diastasis Recti or provide the education mothers deserve (and NEED) to restore the integrity of the core. Being a twin mama, I wish someone slowed down and gave you that time and attention right up front but I am proud of you for being committed to making a change now for yourself and moving forward.
WHT if ur baby is 10 months and 35 lbs 😭
Cycling will worse diastasis recti??
Not just any cycling, I show what you need to avoid.
If there's one rectus abdominus, why are you saying, "diastasis recti"? Recti is plural. Rectus diastasis is correct. Why are people afraid to say it? Because it sounds like rectum?
I really like Stiff legged Deadlifts, is it possible to going back to doing them after a certain amount of time/healing? (I notice the first thing you demonstrated is essentially a SLDL movement, which can be a great movement provided you have enough abdominal wherewithal).
With the right amount of intentionality and core control (how you're able to handle intra abdominal pressure, how well you are able to engage the rectus abdominis muscles) all come into play. I absolutely love romanian deadlift and stiff leg deadlift too- but postpartum while healing DR you need to a) start light (10-15lb dumbbells max) going for higher reps b) do single leg SL DL's before moving to heavier weights with high reps c) Be sure you are doing them with an engaged core. There's a difference between sloppily bending over to pick up toys, groceries and babies verses doing 3 x 15 of controlled RDL's with dumbbells - which can be very healthy for learning how to restore functionality of your core again as you return to exercise with still-healing Diastasis Recti. Caveat: For women who have had twins or multiples, or those with a 4-6 lingering gap, this would not yet be appropriate for exercise. I hope this helps!
Ashley, I am 12 weeks post partum, I have been making several of these mistakes - mostly getting out of get bed with my baby incorrectly 😔 but also a few of the workouts as well.
What now? How difficult is it to fix the damage I have done? I know I have made it worse as in the last week I notice my stomach is actually bigger than it was 2 weeks ago!! 😓
