This program is excellent. I have been doing these workouts along with cardio and strength training, and I am noticing the difference. I still have a small pooch, but my core feels so much stronger, my DR is pretty much healed and best of all, I barely get back pain. Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed it-that’s amazing progress! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
I started your workouts at 6 months the pp with my second baby in under two years. I’m almost 10 months pp and MAN do I feel so much stronger! My core is so much stronger, my gap is getting smaller, and it is much flatter. I did a paid program for diastacis recto for my first 3 months postpartum and I gotta say-i’m seeing more progress with your free program. Thank you so much for your free content!
Wow, thank you for saying that!! It means so much! ❤❤ I’m so encouraged by your progress! That is amazing; congrats to you on staying consistent and putting in the work! 🎉
Been doing this plan for the past 4 months, really taking my time with each workout. I’ve got to say you’ve done wonders for my core strength, i was in so much pain postpartum .. it is all COMPLETELY GONE . All thanks to you, this workout plan coupled with strength training has been amazing for me. I feel stronger and fitter and I’ve even lost 9 kilos. I will be recommending this to every postpartum mama i know. Thankyou so much for keeping this free and easily accessible.
Wow, that is amazing progress! You should be so proud of your consistency and commitment. I’m so happy that you enjoyed the program; thank you for sharing your results with me and for sharing with others!🫶🏻
I see and feel a huge difference. About 12 weeks in. I don't have to think when i cough anymore or wear my pants up to my belly button 😅 Thanks a million
I love to hear that! Core function affects so much of our lives… glad these workouts have helped! ❤
I do these workouts as a warmup before the weight workouts and it works really well for me!
I love that! Glad you’re enjoying the plan!
Can anyone else do a bear crawl forward, but when you back it up you lose all coordination? 😅 🐻 Definitely a move for me to work and thanks for sharing this great program!
Definitely the most challenging move for sure!! Just do what you can! Glad you’ve enjoyed the program. 🤍
100%
These are the only series that have motivated me to be consistent with working out after 5 years postpartum and my gap has completely closed and starting to finally lose weight, I just need to completely cut the little lingering belly fat after completing #10! Thank you for the timing, encouragement and required energy levels are well thought out and effective!
Congrats on completing the series! 🎉 I’m so glad you have been able to your core and are feeling stronger!❤
This plan is awesome, your workouts are amazing only a matter of time before this channel really blows up. Thankyou!!
Aw thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the workouts!❤
This one is my favourite ❤ I have finished the programe but often come back to this. I've hat great results. Thank you ❤
I love to hear that! ❤❤
Your program is amazing ❤. I startet in January and am so proud of myself to still be here and see and feel all the progress. Thanks so much
Thank you! I’m so glad you’re seeing results. ❤
I've commented before on another video but just want to express some thanks. These videos seems so simple but they are also so challenging at the same time. When I first started tbis video, some of these exercises were near impossible (bear crawl, the reverse bridge), and after a few weeks (admittedly not doing the video everyday but several times a week), these exercises are getting easier! To be clear, they are not easy but my body can do them! This program has been so encouraging and I love experiencing my body getting stronger and stronger (even stronger than before pregnancy). Thank you for your work and this channel! I am feeling like "me" again!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and give encouraging feedback-it means to much to know how the workouts have helped you feel strong and like yourself again! Congrats on your progress and hard work! ❤
I’m ready to start the new week! Thanks again!
Awesome!! 👏🏻👏🏻
I’m here with you, too!
Holy! Jumped from doable to whoa!
You’re definitely in the advanced part of the series! Modify or take breaks when needed!❤
@@laurenfitterfitnessI had to rest w hip dips yesterday and then again today only one side tho. These are the best ab series I’ve found. Thank you so much 🙏
This was awesome! Thank you! definitely stronger and I noticed some changes in my timmyb
I’m so glad to hear that! ❤
Thank u so much for all the postpartum series workout!this is my 3rd week to follow ur workout n I feel my core is getting stronger! My abs separated 2-3 fingers after 1st child C-section n 2rd child natural birth, I know it take times to close the gap, I will follow the program until the gap is closed!
So glad you’re enjoying the plan! I also have a Postpartum Ab Program and Diastasis Recti repair plan that are good for after you finish this plan!
@laurenfitterfitness yes i mix all n do together, if got time i will do 30mins (3video), if no time at least 10mins (1video) everyday!
My Diastatis recti gap moved to 2 finger from 3 by doing ur workouts . I'm looking forward for more and ready to heal my gap and strengthen my core 😉. Ps: My first one is 4 and my second one is 2. I started doing these workouts just before few months. So it's not late to do . Let's do it 😉
That’s amazing progress; Thank you for sharing with me! Keep up the good work! ❤️
I feel like this week really picked up in intensity! I do not have diastatis recti-- but I do have a mommy pooch! I have 3 kids (7, 6, and 3) and started your workout 8 weeks ago, doing each video for 1 whole week-- I haven't lost any pooch yet, but I do feel much stronger in my core and hoping with the sculpting you mentioned, I might tone up my pooch a bit!
Hi! So glad to hear you’ve gotten a toe get over the last 8 weeks… that’s amazing progress and consistency! It does take longer than 8 weeks, but that is a great start! I’m still working on my core almost 1 year postpartum, but gradual progression is the way to go! 💗
diet is extremely important
@@Als1822 agreed!
Esse foi difícil, amei
Hi Lauren , I want do complete series of this work out but wondering which workout should I do once I complete this
Hi! I recommended my Postpartum Ab Program or Diastasis Recti Repair plan to continue healing and strengthening your core! If you’re looking for a guided schedule, I have my UA-cam guides on my website! It’s 12 weeks and 72 workouts. laurenfitter.com/programs ❤
Hey Lauren, thanks for your help. I've just started workout 8, and it's intense. Should I wait for my DR to heal before moving on to workouts 8-10 for abs sculpting?
Pre-pregnancy, my waistline was 24 inches. At the program's start, it was 34 inches. Lately, it's been fluctuating between 29 and 28 inches (stuck at 28 for a bit, then back to 29).
I've got 4 inches to lose for my goal of 24 inches. Upper abs are shaping up, but lower abs need work. My DR was 4 fingers apart when I began, now it's 3 fingers.
Any cues on when to progress to workout 8?
Or, would it be better to revert to workout 7, or even consider earlier sessions like workout 5 or 6?
Hi! That is great progress! 👏🏻👏🏻
I would assess and ask yourself if you feel like you’ve mastered the exercises from the last few workouts… and by that I mean, can you perform them with good technique for the majority of the interval? If not, then I’d hang out in the last few workouts for a little longer. On the other hand, don’t be afraid to advance! Even if these exercises feel like a step up in intensity, you can always decrease the time interval and build up endurance gradually.
Do you have any advice , my shoulders really struggle with the scissor side plank😫
There is quite a bit of shoulder work in this video, and with it being at the end, you may be fatigued and need to modify-I would expect most would have to!take out the hip dips and try to hold and work your way up on the time-maybe start with 20 seconds and add 10 each time. Add in the hip dips if you can!
Thanks I’ll try that what would you recommend I do to try strengthen my shoulders ? I’m doing this and your progressive strength training atm
that’s great! I would say mobility is just as important. Check out my stretches for shoulders and back, too. Tight muscles are weak muscles, so you want to minimize tension in your neck, back and shoulders as well. Train upper body 2-3 times per week on non consecutive days, and shoulders don’t need much! Progressive overload is definitely the way to go.
@@laurenfitterfitness Thankyou I appreciate your responses 😊 one of the reasons I follow your videos, comes across really genuine 🥰
I feel I’ve closed my gap a lot but still have some loose skin, anything you recommend product wise?
I haven’t personally used any topical products, but I use Bovine collagen powder (in smoothies, etc) to help with skin elasticity overall! ❤
Is it okay to skip the last exercise to maintain a slim waist?
Hi! I’m not sure what you mean, can you clarify? The side plank dips will help strengthen your deep core and obliques!
