This workout is #2 of 3 workouts in my Diastasis Recti Repair series to heal and strengthen your core postpartum.
This workout is intermidiate-level and suitable for recently postpartum moms who have been cleared to exercise. It's also suitable for C-section moms and anyone looking to build a stronger more functional core.
Do this workout for 2-3 weeks before moving onto workout #3 (Advanced); for best results, combine with any of my other postpartum core workouts and aim for 3-6 days of core training per week.
Equipment needed: mat or soft surface
Mat I use: amzn.to/2OOZYPa

Thank you Lauren! I am three months postpartum and have healed the upper part of my diastasis with your workouts. Hoping to heal the bottom part in the next months through these workouts as well! If you do more of these, could you guide us through the breathing part as well? When to exhale and inhale is helpful in order to be more mindful about that part. Thanks!

@laurenfitterfitness 6 ай бұрын

Hi Sofia! I’m so glad you’ve been able to heal your upper DR! In my experience, the lower DR is always a bit harder/slower to heal. But with time and consistency, it will happen! I also appreciate your suggestion about the breathing-it’s hard for me to coach breath and technique simultaneously, but if you want more in depth info on breathing, imo have a deep core breathing workout on my playlists from last month that cover this! ❤

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi, so glad you’re following along! Results vary from person to person depending on the size/severity of the diastasis and other factors. But for most, healing happens gradually and takes a few months and up to a year or so to fully heal. But with workouts like this it will accelerate and optimize your healing so you’ll recover and have better core function over time. I also have a Postpartum Ab Program that is geared toward healing DR and is designed to span 12 weeks-I’d recommend doing that, too!

How long does it take to repair diastasis recti? I feel I have a pretty severe one, which is making me very self conscious. Plus, it's hurting my back. I actually go to the doctor tomorrow, and am having them check for it. Anyway, I am glad I found your videos!

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi! It varies depending on the woman/severity of the DR. I’d ask for a referral to a pelvic floor PT who can work to create an individual plan and help you optimize your exercise to facilitate healing! This plan will help but it also benefits you to have a PT on your side who can meet your specific needs. ❤️

Hi, I'm almost a year postpartum and have been trying several core recovery exercises but I still fill like a gap in my abs, no pain anywhere but it's super frustrating to not see what I had expected after almost a year. Would you recommend to try your videos in a certain way during a certain period of time? How long is diastasis supposed to go away? Or is it normal to have a little bit of it always? I am scared, I don't want to get pregnant again until this has recovered

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi! I know it can be frustrating. For me, it has taken a year + to heal DR from both of my pregnancies. But in general, deep core work will gradually yield results with consistency and good technique. Have you done my Postpartum Ab Program or Lose Your Mommy Pooch plan? I recommend both of those programs because they are multiple workouts that build progressively over time to gradually strengthen and rebuild your core.

Hi Lauren, your exercises are great! I am 9 months postpartum, with a small diastasis recti, and I feel soo good tacking it slowly with your playlist. But when I do the Supine reverse marching, even if I am keeping my belly tucked in, and my back close to the floor I am having pain in my middle back on my spine muscles, is that normal?

@laurenfitterfitness 23 күн бұрын

Hi! A few suggestions-you could place your hands in the small of your low back, with fingertips touching, and press your lower back into your hands. You could also add a small towels or thicker mat/towel for comfort. Hope this helps!❤

Hello! I have had 4 kids and quite a large separation right at my belly button and up. I have a slight hernia too. In your experience will this go back in with consistent work? I’ve been working at it for about 3 months and have really appreciated your playlists! It’s definitely less but I don’t know if it will go back to how it used to be.

@laurenfitterfitness 5 күн бұрын

Hi! Glad you’re here. You can definitely heal your DR with consistent deep core work. However, the hernia may still persist because typically that can only be repaired fully with surgery. Although, doing deep core work will strengthen the surrounding muscles and help with the overall appearance and function. ❤

@laurenfitterfitness 5 ай бұрын

It’s can take several months to full heal. Even a year+ in some cases. A small gap that is functional can be normal… like 1-1.5 fingers width. But it really depends on you and your core function, etc. I’d recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT for an assessment!❤

Is there a move I can do to replace the two sets in side plank (the oblique ones)? I have bad shoulders and this move is really hard for me to do. I know there is a more advanced side move in the advanced DR repair workout, so I thought I should ask. Thank you!

@laurenfitterfitness 3 ай бұрын

Hi Katherine! You can replace the side plank exercise with lying oblique twists. Start on your back with knees over hips and then slowly drop your knees to the front, just slightly above the floor, while keeping your upper body/back solid on the ground. Repeat on the other side. Move slowly and extend the legs to make it more challenging! You’ll see this exercise in a few of my other videos, too!

Is it normal to feel like I can’t squeeze my core super tight?! Sometimes I feel like I’m not squeezing but I am! I have had 3 C-sections and after my second baby I did super good at fixing my DR and feeling strong. My baby is now 15 months and I have been doing DR exercises for about a year now along with regular work outs from home and my core just feels so weak! I didn’t know I let it slip so bad 🙈

Also, my Postpartum Ab Program goes deeper into core and pelvic floor engagement, so I would suggest that if you haven’t done it yet! It’s specifically for DR and core dysfunction, too!

Hi lauren i have a question for you I had a c section 14 months ago (january 2022) and also before that in june 2020. I have a 3 finger diastase and i started exercising just recently ! So i was wondering, should a do the; The c-section one? The loose your mommy pouch? Post partum abs ? diastasis recti repair? (It s the one i do for now the intermediate)

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi Liz! I would suggest doing the C section recovery plan first-you may be able to progress a little faster since you’re 14 months postpartum; listen to your body! After that, I’d suggest the Postpartum Ab Program along with some of my postpartum strength workouts (on my playlists) to continue to heal and strengthen your body. Then, I’d suggest the Lose your Mommy pooch Plan-you can also mix and match with any other of my postpartum core/Ab workouts. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply ! Ok so i stop the diastasis recti and get to the c-section beginner ou intermediate? A week or two Before moving to another level or program? Is it okay or safe to do the exercises without another workout or cardio or warm up prior?
