Exercise After Delivery For Flat Stomach And Strong Tummy

Denise ChiribogaFitness, New Mama, Postnatal Fitness

Last week I showed you one exercise I get ALL OF MY clients started on after they have a baby in order to regain their core strength.

But……

It’s a boring exercise.

It’s not going to get your heart rate racing.

It’s not going to get you sweating.

And it’s not going to build ripped arms. (you can do that here though!! )

But the boring exercise IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IF:

  • you feel mushy or hollow in your midsection
  • you feel weak in your abdominals
  • you’ve had a baby in the last 12 months (c section or vaginal)
  • you have back pain
  • if you get twinges of pains or aches when lifting your baby or other heavy items
  • You suspect you have mummy tummy aka abdominal separation aka diastasis recti

Sometimes we’ve got to take care of the small & tiny but VERY important details first.

You wouldn’t build a million dollar home on a crappy foundation would you? 

Of course not.

Likewise when it comes to strengthening our bodies after having a baby you can’t just start doing the exercises you used to do before you got pregnant without retraining muscles you haven’t used in many months, right?

Correct.

So think of your deep core as your foundation, because it’s exactly that. 

In today’s video I’m building on to what I taught you last week: this week we’ll be going through 4 exercises to build up your deep core transverse abdominis muscle…and yes it’s going to be much more exciting than last weeks, and more challenging for you too.
