Thanks for these! I am 3.5 years postpartum and just never got around to working on my core. I'm doing it now and have seen my diastasis reduce by about half so far! I love how you don't have fluff talk in your videos but still communicate tips for proper technique and how you have the timer on display for us to see. These are effective, manageable, and pleasant. Thank you!

I’m loving this plan so much. It is retraining my core to stay engaged all the time, not just during workouts. I started several months ago with a 3 finger diastasis. Now I am on workout 6 and am down to 1 1/2 fingers! Hoping to close that gap as I work slowly through the rest of the plan. Thank you for your gentle approach! It is very welcoming. I’ve shared your page with many other mamas!

I absolutely love this series. I’m two years postpartum and this is the first workout plan I’ve really been able to stick to. Question for these more challenging installments, should we have mastery of these moves before moving on? Like should I be able to hold the Bear Crawl for the full 50 before moving onto workout 7?

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi Alison! These workouts progress gradually, so after a week or two you can feel free to move forward to the next workout. You want to feel like you can maintain proper technique-while you may still need breaks or not be able to complete the entire interval (the bear crawls are especially tough!😅), you can execute the movements properly and feel in control. Hope this helps!🤍

Hi Lauren. Thanks for doing thess videos.. They are very motivating and you have the best calming voice to help post-partum mommies. It's great that they are not too long as well as it allows me to do them in between my baby's naps which are very short. One question, can i combin3 the previous workouts together or do you think it is too much on one session? Sometimes i feel like i can do more when time permits. Also, should those workouts continue after we have finished them or should we move on to another type of workout to stay in shape with the core? Thanks in advance. 😊

@laurenfitterfitness 11 ай бұрын

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind feedback! You can combine the workouts, but I’d recommend doing another one of my workouts for a full body workout, if time permits! I have playlists on my channel with postpartum workouts-strength, cardio, toning, HIIT, etc. I would add one of those to this workout if you can! Once you finish this program, I always recommend my Postpartum Ab Program if you haven’t done it yet. In addition, I have many stand alone postpartum core workouts on my playlists!

Been doing these workouts since February doing each workout over 1-3 weeks. Let me tell you! These workouts work!! Lauren, what do I do when I get to the end? I'm having a bit of anxiety with not knowing which safe ab workouts to do once I reach the end lol PLEASE HELP lol! Create a healed core dysfunction workout video please lol

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi Veronica! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the program and have seen results! Way to go!👏🏻👏🏻 If you haven’t already, I would suggest going through my Postpartum Ab Program. It’s similar to this one and will help you continue to build on your progress. I have all my postpartum core workouts organized on my channel playlists, so any of those would be suitable as well! I am always creating new content, so I will keep that in mind! Thank you so much for the feedback!🤍

@@laurenfitterfitness Thank you so much Lauren! I will stick to the postpartum programs until I feel comfortable doing other core workouts. Thank you for your response! Take care!

@danapottratz9243 Ай бұрын

Hello Lauren. i'd be interested to know where you got the word "pooch" to designate a rounded belly. For me "pooch" is synonymous with "doggie", and I would have said "pouch" to mean "belly", like in a kangaroo's pouch. Thanks for your feedback.

@user-bp3pr8fp4p 11 ай бұрын

Hi Lauren, thank you for your videos. I just wanted to ask if i need to do the exercises for 10 minutes every day? Could I repeat them and do for longer time?

@laurenfitterfitness 11 ай бұрын

Hi! Yes, 10 minutes is sufficient! I would suggest trying to maximize your time in the first workout so you don’t need to repeat it… if you become overly fatigued, that’s when compensations can happen.

So happy I've seen lot of change in my body especially tummy. I did the postpartum ab earlier this year and now I m on #6 ( I did 2 weeks each previous workout). I ve done the exercise every day 😅 like every day still have pooch but I know it will go.? pp 8months baby #2

Bear crawls are tough! But so good for your deep core and functional movement! And I fully support staying with a workout for longer than a week! Move forward when you feel ready!

Hi Lauren, I'm loving this plan and have been doing it for 2 months. I just found out that I'm newly pregnant. Can I continue with this plan or would you recommend that I stop?

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi Hannah! Yes, you can continue to heal your core even during pregnancy! Avoid any movements on your stomach (there aren’t many in this plan) and listen to your body-if something doesn’t feel good, don’t do it. I also have playlists of workouts for each trimester, including core workouts, that you can also start doing!🤍

@tammybruneau9566 Жыл бұрын

After completing these series. What to do next for core. Do the 10 one or can move on to other exercises ? I feel like I will have to do post partum core for life ?!

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi! Have you down my postpartum Ab program? I’d suggest doing that for more core work and maintenance. You can jump to phases 3&4 if phases 1&2 feel too easy since you’ve done this program already. I have a playlists of postpartum core workouts; some are advanced, so I recommend those! Just bc they’re “postpartum” doesn’t mean that they’re easy! But once you’ve done those and feel ready to progress, I have a playlists of non postpartum core/Ab workouts that are more challenging! 🤍

@Als1822 Жыл бұрын

I'm on your phase 4 of ab program now. Going to start these mommy pooch workouts after I'm done. I have a Q. I can feel my upper ab muscles coming through. but my lower belly still is flabby. Any specific workouts for that or are these sufficient? I try to get in 10k steps daily , cardio/strength train 4x a week, and watch my calorie intake. Losing weight ( nearly 6 months pp) but lower belly is frustrating

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

I hear you. Stay the course! I’m 10 months PP and still working on my core function, fat loss, etc. It takes time and consistency! Keep going and you’ll continue to makes progress… it may be small and slow but that’s the sustainable way to achieve lasting results!❤️

You may or may not feel sore. These are more gentle movements (especially in the first half of this series) to focus on healing and proper technique; soreness is not an indicator of success!

@jessdarby6224 Жыл бұрын

Is it normal to still feel some separation at this point? I've done all the exercises in order for the prescribed amount of time or until I've felt ready to move forward without having to modify but I do still have a slight ab separation.

@laurenfitterfitness Жыл бұрын

Hi Jess! Yes, it is normal, and more than likely it will take a few months and can even take a year or so… Depending on the severity of your DR, genetics, how you move/breathe in daily life activities, and breastfeeding can also affect how quickly DR heals. However, any progress is good, so keep going! I am 13 months PP currently and have made great progress but am still working to heal. But that is pretty normal for me, especially bc I have a classical and horizontal C section incision on my uterus (long story lol) and I am still breastfeeding. My best advice is to do my Postpartum Ab Program if you haven’t already! It is similar to this one and will keep you on the trajectory to healing and rebuilding your core. 🤍
