Thank you for being simple and clear! I often find these so confusing because everyone tells you to breathe at this time, suck in the belly at this time etc but it really helped that you didn’t over complicate things ❤️
These workouts are the best, literally they are only ones that I've found that are just the right amount of challenge. These are keeping me more active this pregnancy than in my last one, because i actually enjoy doing them!👍👍
I have unhealed DR from my last pregnancy and now in the first trimester for #2 I want to keep working on healing/preventing it from getting worse. Thank you for the video!!❤
Thank you for this - it really hits the spot in my third close-together pregnancy with some lingering DR! This is just the right level to help me be motivated in 1st trimester fatigue.
Hi! Glad you enjoyed it! I’d suggest a few times per week alternating with some of my other prenatal core/Ab workouts. I have them organized on my channel playlists! ❤️
I really enjoyed this exercise and felt it in my core but I noted coning during the clam hip exercise and the other one after it. Should I avoid those exercises since it causes my stomach to cone out?
You can try to do the clams with your bottom hip on the ground, but if you’re still noticing it, then you can try a modified side plank as an alternative!
I was told to not do cat cow while pregnant. Its the cat part that should be avoided. One exercise called pelvic tilts is similar but the spine is returned to neutral after tilting upward.
Hi! It’s generally okay to do cat/cow, but do what is recommended by your provider! Everyone is different so if something doesn’t feel good/right, you can always make changes!❤
Can you please share the benefits of the last exercise tabletop bridge? I don't feel it much in my core but moreso in my glutes. I've form checked many times it seems to be correct so just wondering the benefits as sometimes I'm in a hurry and am tempted to skip the last one. Thanks!
Yes, it is a glute exercise! The glutes are part of your core so we want to make sure to strengthen them to ensure that the whole core unit is strong. ❤
I thought I’ve read that position you’re in (on all 4s) is the number one position they say not to go into if pregnant bc gravity of the baby pushes through the abdominal wall?
Hi! As long as you’re maintaining a deep core brace, this exercise (bird dog) is very beneficial for your core and pelvic floor. It is known to help with optimal position for baby as well! In addition, it is a very practical movement pattern for daily life activities and shouldn’t be avoided, rather training your core and body as a whole will help you ensure that you’re as strong as possible for pregnancy, delivery and beyond. ❤
Hi! I’d recommend doing this workout alternating with some of my other core workouts 3-5 times per week. Have you checked out my Postpartum Ab Program? It’s under my UA-cam playlists. It is 8 workouts and designed to heal your core postpartum!
@@xxceciixx1I’m the same girl! Worked out for 10 years, I’m now heading into 3rd trimester, and noticing slight coning - trying to fix now, don’t want it to get worse

I've been looking for ages for excersizes to do that were simple to understand and to do, and this video was finally the one.
Thank you so much! I have a lot of postpartum core workouts on my channel, too, for after baby comes! ❤️❤️

37+4weeks pregnant 🤗 no back pain
I’m so glad to hear that! Hang in there!🫶🏻
I like this one
My question is what kind of exercises are recommended for someone with diastasis recti but hasn't had children in 20 years
For someone who been working out for years, this sure was tough for me at 24wks 2dys. Jesus!!!
It’s tough! Glad you’re here! ❤

Hi can I do this everyday or is it a couple times a week

Are these suitable for the third trimester?
Yes!❤
Will this help if you already have diastisis recti and are pregnant again?
Yes, definitely! You can also do my Postpartum Ab program and just avoid any movements on your stomach.
In the first cow position do i breath in and out
Yes! Breath in on the cat and exhale on the cow as you engage your core. ❤
Whenever I cow I’m coning
You can reduce the range of motion or avoid altogether. Sometimes even good exercises are not beneficial if you can’t manage core pressure. ❤
@@laurenfitterfitness I was exercising before I got pregnant so I’m not sure why this is happening. I had a nice six pack going. 😭
@@xxceciixx1I’m the same girl!
Worked out for 10 years, I’m now heading into 3rd trimester, and noticing slight coning - trying to fix now, don’t want it to get worse
