⭐FAQ's + TIPS:
► How soon can I start these exercises postpartum?
I always recommend chatting with your doctor or midwife about resuming exercise postpartum. Every body (and every pregnancy) is so different! I personally started using the 360 breathing around 2-3 weeks postpartum and then slowly started moving through the other exercises as it felt good to do so. Do not rush into it, if something doesn’t feel right then stop.
► What if I feel these moves in my lower back instead of my abs?
If you're feeling ab exercises in your lower back, that could mean you are flaring your ribs and your back and/or hip flexors are taking over the work and the moves are too advanced! I would scale back and regress the exercises as needed.

YES. These workouts are great for ALL women, regardless of whether you've had a baby (or when that baby was born).
