The following exercises are designed to reduce the risk of complications such as abdominal weakness or low back pain following your ab surgery. These exercises should not be painful to do. It is important to do them daily as outlined in this video after getting doctor approval. I will teach you how to work the abs from the inside out gently, both helping to heal your body, as well as strengthen your core. TRY it and if you like it COMMENT and share!
I just had a kidney transplant. They put it in the front. I am so huge no clothes fit and because of Covid no stores are open so I have to do something. Can I do this?
This is my first workout since my panni/abdominalplasty/dia recti repair surgery 12/19/23. I can REALLY feel my abs and am glad I found your video to help with my recovery. Thanks!
i also got a laparoscopic appendectomy, cutting my belly button and 2 incisions below it, how have you been recovering? i also want to get back to exercising
Thank you for this. I am 6 weeks out from having exploratory abdominal surgery for ovarian cancer. I can’t believe the doctor didn’t send me to PT. I’ve been nervous about returning to working out.
Same here, 5 weeks after ExplSurg and Chemo rinse after appendix CA, no mentioning of any kind of exercise whatever. I reckon they expect you to think about it yourself...
2-1/2 weeks post staging surgery for ovarian cancer, full hysterectomy - I was feeling my belly and abdomen falling out of me, so this was great to try and engage some sense of muscle memory. I was very gentle with myself, and will try each day to do a little more. Thank you.
This was amazing. I am 4 weeks out of an unexpected and extensive surgery and today was my first time back on my mat. I found it a very emotional experience. As you said, recovery is not just physical, it is mental too. Thank you for this beautifully sensitive practice. The exercises were perfect.
This month makes 4 months post op since I’ve gotten my kidney transplant. I started with walking and doing cardio videos on UA-cam, but I totally forgot about adding some abdominal workouts. I’m glad I found this workout and this page. ❤❤❤
Hello from 🇨🇦! Over the last year I’ve had 3 abdominal surgeries. An ileostomy, colon resection and then a ileostomy reversal. This exercise routine is just what I needed. Only been doing it for 4 days but I’m feeling great! Thank You so much for providing these. Love your enthusiasm, energy and encouraging words.
I got a small bowel resection a few months ago for Crohn’s and am hoping to make my core muscles stronger. Thank you for commenting about your experience with this workout, because it really gives me hope. I hope you’re doing better now and having fewer symptoms.
I am 4 weeks post op from a colon resection and I’m still so weak, I didn’t realize how emotional a major surgery like this could make me feel 😢, I’m hoping these exercises help, I can barely vacuum one area rug in my house without severe lower back pain. I start back to work in 16 days, And my job requires me to stand in surgery sometimes up to 10 hours a day, I’m scared I won’t make it.
So glad someone requested this. I'm recovering from an appendectomy which i had removed laparoscopicly. And I'm eager to get back into exercise. I'm 4 weeks out so i wanna start slow. This seems good though I'll probably do half to start then go full routine by 6 weeks
I had endometriosis surgery less than two weeks ago and I’ve been scouring UA-cam for safe workouts post abdominal surgery and yours is the only one I’ve been able to find! I can’t wait to do this video once I’m cleared by my doc to begin exercising again! I used your hurt foot workout videos religiously after sesamoid surgery five years ago and they were amazing so I’m sure I’ll have just as much success with this workout! Thank you for creating workouts for people who are injured!
I had a major abdominal surgery. Found this video at about 7 weeks post op and it was perfect. I am now 9 weeks post op and it's gentle enough but still challenging. I've thrown in some cardio on alternate days. Thank you!
Done this work out 3 weeks after midline laparotomy for a cyst removal in my ovary, best video ive found and your attitude is so motivating, thankyou!!!
one of the fewest on line that really addresses women who had ab surgery and want to come back to routine workout ; very very good workout splendid teacher
Thank you so much for sharing this workout! I am 8 weeks post op for a radical open nephrectomy for cancer and it has been amazing doing some gentle but challenging exercises for the abdomen. With your encouragement I was able to allow myself to let go of my surroundings, rest and breathe and go at my own pace. You are right it isn't just the physical part of healing it is the mental and spiritual side too and giving yourself grace and compassion ❤ lots of love from NZ
I just found your video I'm 3 & half weeks from abdominal myomectomy surgery it was challenging for me to do all the exercises but this it what I needed. I just finished the video & my stomach muscles are jumping thank you.
So thankful to have found this video. I have had a hysterectomy and hernia surgery in the last two years in my abdominal area. I could only do 50 percent of the video. My abs are so weak but I am optimistic that they will get stronger with these exercises. Thank you ❤
This is perfect had my 3rd abdominal surgery 4 weeks ago my surgeon recommended this video to strengthen my paper thin abdominal wall. I’m cleared to start next week 🤞
I know this video is 4 years old, but when I was 18 I got into an accident that changed my life. My left leg was decimated, and after surgery the muscles atrophied. I'm better now, but it's been a long road. Finding a workout that doesn't involve machines that targets the inside quad so efficiently is a god send. I got teary eyed after feeling the burn.
This was excellent! First workout after 1-month post surgery. Just the right degree of difficulty, and the right amount of time. Will be doing it for a while. Thank you!!
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this exercise, I had SI pain at the beginning of the week because I couldn’t do my exercises since the surgery and didn’t know what to do, not one health professionals talk to me about this part of recovery, so finding your video is really a lifesaver, so thank you and God Bless you
I feels so good after I did this exercise! I had laparotomy surgery 7 weeks ago and need some exercises for my healing process. This video is really help! thanks :)
@@anuragpotter3691 Hi there! I’m doing good physicaly these days. Hope you’re feeling great! I feel I’ve healed completely. My surgery was 2 years ago actually, and I also could able to do quite hard exercises these days. ☺️
This was amazing- I am 4 weeks post op from larascopic hernia repair and I was feeling very down about not being able to follow my normal pilates workout videos. This video made me feel strong again!
Hi, hope you are totally healed by now. I just did my ovary and cyst removal 3 weeks ago with an open surgery and i wonder when you was able to start to workout? I still have some pain tho 🥺
@@InsightsbyE hello! i'm totally healthy right now, thank you. i did this workout about 4/5 weeks after my surgery. however, my surgery was laparoscopic, so I was able to start mobilising my muscles way quicker. after open surgery the organism needs to recover longer. i wish you good health and quick recovery ❤
This is my first time working out since surgery and I could have sworn that I was strong enough… but boy did this workout tell me otherwise. Thank you for this ❤
It's 6 weeks after ventral wall hernia repair and abdominoplasty, and I did this exercise for the first time. Honestly, it's the best I ever felt after surgery. Thank you so much🤗.
I am 3 weeks out of laparoscopy for appendicitis. I have appreciated your exercise ,for post op recovery. My age (68) and my level of fitness prior to surgery,allowed a quick 20 HR stay in acute care. Your gentle,but effective exercise has allowed this aging gym rat to ,stop/chill and heal. Thanks for your expertise. Lisa P RDCD-N
I had a radical hysterectomy after diagnosed with cancer. I started doing crunches on an exercise ball, but that caused discomfort at the incision site. Doctor said to try modified for for pregnant women. 🤷🏻♀️ Well I googled and found yours, it has been most helpful! Achy abs, in the best way! Thank you! 😃
I'm 1 week post laproscopic ovarian cyst/endo surgery. I couldn't do the planks or lift my head up yet but everything else felt great. I typically do reformer Pilates 3-5 times a week so these are exercises that I'm used to. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this! I had a sesamoid bone fracture and wore a boot for 6 weeks. I was so grateful to have found your channel, and looked forward to doing your hurt foot workouts everyday. It really kept me going. Shortly after my foot healed, I had to go in for an emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, and had a 2 week recovery period. Ab workouts feel uncomfortable since the surgery, so I am very, very grateful that you have made a video like this. So, so, grateful for you. Thank you!!!
Thank you dear Caroline Mam for this wonderful exercise session!.. I started practicing this 12 wks after my abdominal surgery. N it really proved very beneficial. Tx dear💕
Hi caroline, Thank you for this video. Really motivates me to start exercise after 4 weeks of laparotomy surgery. I did this exercise in Bali, with the sunshine and wind breeze, really perfect come back moment for me. Looking forward for another exercise video post abs surgery. Maybe for arms exercise, once again thank you!
I had DIEP flap reconstruction surgery and was sent back to work too early so I hurt my abdomen muscles. I am one year out and still have pain and no core strength. I just started this video and I feel great each time I am finished. Thanks
Thank you Caroline for this video…..I am 6 weeks post op from a bowel resection and this is exactly what my mind and body needed to get back into a good routine!
Absolutely loved this workout. I had TAH and this is the first exercise routine that covered a wide range of exercises that i felt in my core without causing any discomfort. Thank you ❤
I had surgery back in June 2020 for diastasis recti I’m hoping this helps this muffin must go I also have three daughters my youngest is 1 I definitely needed this
Looking forward to doing this workout in a couple of days. I'm 6 weeks post-op from a bilateral salpingectomy laparoscopy. I returned to a modified karate class 3 weeks ago and I just joined a gym so I'll start with this workout. Really need to strengthen my core
Yes I recently had a major hernia repair and I have been looking for something to help me get my core strength back up and I found your video and I did pretty much all of the exercises you showed and I was shocked at how much I could feel after I got done and I just want to thank you. I will continue to do these for the next 2 weeks until I go back to work 💪😁😀
Thank you so much for this exercise routine. I'm on day 12 after a laparoscopy and had no problem doing the exercises. Feeling toned and ready ti start my day!
I had surgery 18 months ago - did too much too soon and strained my abs after surgery so I gave myself a year off and am just starting an exercise program now - Its day three, and I really feel my abs burning... it is definitely working and I'm enjoying it so far!
Thank you so much for this outstanding workout. I just had abdominal surgery at the VA Hospital and this workout is perfect. I use many of your workout programs and love them all!
Thankyou so much for this workout, I had a abdominal myomectomy 3 months ago, have been doing these exercises for a month now (trying to do daily). Initially we're quite painful but now I feel my core getting stronger! I'm off to find something a bit harder for next month, if you could suggest one or two of your videos that would be great. Thankyou!
@karensutherland6155 I’m in a similar position now. 2 months post op. Did you find your abdominal muscles aching and feeling quite dull/heavy after working out. It’s quite scary getting back to working out following open myomectomy ?
I’ve not had surgery but I’m getting over a severe case of glandular fever and need to take it easy when getting back into the gym, just done this and I love it!! Felt so good to reconnect with my muscles and you made it such a nice experience thank you so much for this video ❤
I really enjoy this workout video, its gentle but effective, with variations to adjust the challenge depending on what stage you are in your recovery. It feels great to get my core working again after my surgery. Thank you caroline!
After abdominal surgery my core was still very weak and sometimes hurt. I looked for some way to help and was afraid to do too much. This routine was perfect. At first I couldn't do all of the exercises but pretty quickly I was able to easily complete them all. It felt so good. I would like to increase the difficulty but don't know what is safe. The "transversus abdominus" muscle group is still weaker than it should be. Can you do a series on that group? My understanding is that it impacts the abs, pelvis and the lower back. Like a girdle wrapped around.
Thank you for this amazing video. This has been instrumental to my healing. I started this 7 weeks into my recovery. I was weak and experiencing nerve pain but so determined to get back to exercising again. It felt so good to connect with my ab muscles again. I am 9 weeks in recovery and I can do this video with more ease. I can feel my body getting stronger. I will be recommending this video to my clients. Thank you! Choose joy.
I had gall bladder removal surgery, and this workout was the level of challenging that I needed to strengthen my abs. It differed from other abdominal surgery recovery workouts in that it wasn't too gentle. So, if you're a month or 2 recovered from surgery, this is the perfect workout to start building back the muscle you lost!
Thankyou for this , I had mine out 2 weeks ago and wasn't sure when I could start...or if I could maybe do leg and buty exercises that arent going to use my abs 🙏
@@anuragpotter3691 so much better ,pain all gone , and all good in the abdominal strength area, I love the gym/fitness and all I good ,baby steps at 1st .
I'm almost 7 weeks post-open myomectomy and my body has been aching to stretch out! Too much hurts my tummy but this floor work has really helped, thank you. Couldn't do the positions on my tummy as it's tender to touch but my back and my legs are very appreciative. Leg pull-back from all fours was bliss 🫶🏻
@janenjeringanga5621 my consultant let me start gentle pilates at my 7 week follow-up. My healing has taken a long time. Almost 5 months down and I manage level 3-4 pilates now 😊
@@diegaahit is daunting but I promise it gets better. Prepare as much as you can before. Make sure everything is easy to reach, batch cook meals etc. The benefits outweigh the initial discomfort 🙌🏻
Enjoyed the workout.hope this video was available 25 yrs ago. Not too late for this workout.pls can u make a workout for lean toned arms.i like the toned muscular arms u hav.
I am a former fitness instructor, and was in pretty good shape before my ab surgery. I have just been cleared to work out by my doctor, but I just want to tell everyone that this workout is really hard, especially the transitions between exercises. I would advise folks to take their time between transitions. And to back off on the exercises that hurt truthfully when she said the stomach exercises felt great, for me they were hurting. But I am going to try to modify these exercises and do a little bit every day.
Yes I agree, its SO important to meet your body where its at esp within your own unique healing journey. Every BODY is so different and healing can be a roller coaster of ups and downs, good and bad days. Take it all in stride and let me know how I can support you!
The following exercises are designed to reduce the risk of complications such as abdominal weakness or low back pain following your ab surgery. These exercises should not be painful to do.

Thank you for creating this. I have been doing it everyday since my hysterectomy and it has really helped me stay active while I heal.
Can u do this after A penniculectomy and muscle repair surgery ?
This is my first workout since my panni/abdominalplasty/dia recti repair surgery 12/19/23. I can REALLY feel my abs and am glad I found your video to help with my recovery. Thanks!
I go in for my Panni/upper abdominoplasty tomorrow!
Thankyou extensive surgery after ovarian cancer surgery. Very helpful in getting my core healed and strengthened xx
This was awesome, am 3 weeks post laparascopy endo/cyst surgey. First exercise since surgery and it feels great ❤ Thank you

this feels pretty good, had a car accident and colostomy surgery a few months ago, i will try to stick with this exercise, thank you!!
Thank you to you and that lady xxxx
I’ve not had surgery but I’m getting over a severe case of glandular fever and need to take it easy when getting back into the gym, just done this and I love it!! Felt so good to reconnect with my muscles and you made it such a nice experience thank you so much for this video ❤
Thanks that was awesome. I just had gallbladder surgery, and have to work myself up to hiit again.
I really enjoy this workout video, its gentle but effective, with variations to adjust the challenge depending on what stage you are in your recovery. It feels great to get my core working again after my surgery. Thank you caroline!
Thank you for this!
After abdominal surgery my core was still very weak and sometimes hurt. I looked for some way to help and was afraid to do too much. This routine was perfect. At first I couldn't do all of the exercises but pretty quickly I was able to easily complete them all. It felt so good. I would like to increase the difficulty but don't know what is safe. The "transversus abdominus" muscle group is still weaker than it should be. Can you do a series on that group? My understanding is that it impacts the abs, pelvis and the lower back. Like a girdle wrapped around.
Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed this workout 👍
10 weeks post hysterectomy , this exercises will help me get stronger ❤
Love your videos thank you so much ❤
Glad you like them!
Thanks so much for this! I’m a few months out from colectomy and pelvic reconstruction surgery, and this feels amazing!
I am ready to do this!
Thank you so much Caroline.
Glad it was helpful!
❤Really enjoyed this and workout. I think I’ve done all your and workouts and this one was a bit different in a good way no neck pain!
Great job!
I am recovering from laparotomy. This video helps me to relax and helps my body to ease lots of pressure.
How is it now??
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this amazing video. This has been instrumental to my healing. I started this 7 weeks into my recovery. I was weak and experiencing nerve pain but so determined to get back to exercising again. It felt so good to connect with my ab muscles again. I am 9 weeks in recovery and I can do this video with more ease. I can feel my body getting stronger. I will be recommending this video to my clients. Thank you! Choose joy.
Fantastic workout post op abdominal surgery at 6 weeks. Perfect to ease back in.
This is gold
I had gall bladder removal surgery, and this workout was the level of challenging that I needed to strengthen my abs. It differed from other abdominal surgery recovery workouts in that it wasn't too gentle. So, if you're a month or 2 recovered from surgery, this is the perfect workout to start building back the muscle you lost!
Thankyou for this , I had mine out 2 weeks ago and wasn't sure when I could start...or if I could maybe do leg and buty exercises that arent going to use my abs 🙏
@@Sj-ps5rx how are you now? I am bout to get a scan tomorrow and I might need surgery. Can't bear to lose my abdomen strength.
@@anuragpotter3691 so much better ,pain all gone , and all good in the abdominal strength area, I love the gym/fitness and all I good ,baby steps at 1st .
@@Sj-ps5rx that's great to hear. My scans showed nothing so i am set for now..
@@anuragpotter3691 that is good news, I hope you get whatever is going on sorted 🙏
Absolutely love this video
Thank you
I'm almost 7 weeks post-open myomectomy and my body has been aching to stretch out! Too much hurts my tummy but this floor work has really helped, thank you. Couldn't do the positions on my tummy as it's tender to touch but my back and my legs are very appreciative. Leg pull-back from all fours was bliss 🫶🏻
At what week did you start working out,am on my 4th week open myomectomy too
I’m having my open myomectomy in 2 weeks. It sounds daunting. 8 wk recovery time expected.
@janenjeringanga5621 my consultant let me start gentle pilates at my 7 week follow-up. My healing has taken a long time. Almost 5 months down and I manage level 3-4 pilates now 😊
@@diegaahit is daunting but I promise it gets better. Prepare as much as you can before. Make sure everything is easy to reach, batch cook meals etc. The benefits outweigh the initial discomfort 🙌🏻
Enjoyed the workout.hope this video was available 25 yrs ago. Not too late for this workout.pls can u make a workout for lean toned arms.i like the toned muscular arms u hav.
I am a former fitness instructor, and was in pretty good shape before my ab surgery. I have just been cleared to work out by my doctor, but I just want to tell everyone that this workout is really hard, especially the transitions between exercises. I would advise folks to take their time between transitions. And to back off on the exercises that hurt truthfully when she said the stomach exercises felt great, for me they were hurting. But I am going to try to modify these exercises and do a little bit every day.
Yes I agree, its SO important to meet your body where its at esp within your own unique healing journey. Every BODY is so different and healing can be a roller coaster of ups and downs, good and bad days. Take it all in stride and let me know how I can support you!
I had an appendectomy two months ago and I’m finally cleared to start training abs again! This was a saber routine. Thank you!!
Thank you for this restorative video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
