Sometimes you’ve got to get back to the basics and foundations in order to progress in your health. I chose to take a step back, slow things down a bit and focus on my foundation (core). Postpartum 4 years almost 5, csection as well, I’ve realized in order to progress further I’ve connected with this channel and it’s exactly what I needed. So many wonderful exercises and it’s amazing that it’s all in an organized fashion of progress per week to follow along with ! Thank you so much for making this available and explaining every step, and what each exercise is going to help us with.
Hi Paola, thanks so much for your kind words. I had a similar experience after 2 hip surgeries and then 2 pregnancies. It made all the difference for me to step back and focus on the basics also. I'm happy to hear that these workouts are helping you!
Hi again! I started in April with the first video in your diastasis recti series. In May I did the second and now I’m just starting this one. I work very late at night and find myself so grateful for your detailed explanations and repetition of reminders as the workout progresses. I’m feeling more stability each month but it seems like a long road back from three babies. It is nice to have these expert gracious workouts to help. Thanks again!
Hi Michele, thanks so much for your comment! Glad that you are feeling more stable. I agree, it felt like a long road back for me too. But it will be so worth it to put in the hard work now to build a solid foundation. Best to be strong when you're running after 3 kids!
I love your workouts, Amy. One question: I was always told a C curve (18-minute mark) was a no-no - since it is the same as doing a crunch sand puts pressure on the abs.
Thank you! Great question. In this video, I'm cueing you to draw in the lower abdominals to hollow your spine into a C curve. What you want to avoid is any bulging out of the larger abdominal muscles when you're curling up/down. This bulging would indicate your using the Rectus Abdominis (superficial 6 pack muscle). Let me know if you have further questions! Amy
Hi Amy, thank you so much for your videos, I've been doing them for about two months and am so pleased to have found someone who explains each move so I can follow along! I'm having a bit of trouble making the leap between Diastasis Recti 2 and 3, my back arches almost straight away. Is there an exercise or different video I should do in the meantime to build up to it?
Hi Gabriela! I'm so sorry that I didn't see your comment until now. Here is the workout that I would try to bridge the gap between 2 and 3. Let me know if this helps! ua-cam.com/video/drQdweQIg1o/v-deo.html
