The best CORE exercise in pregnancy

It's true that we want to avoid core exercises such as crunches, planks, sit-ups or anything that causes doming of the stomach. These exercises can cause diastasis recti leading to "Mummy Tummy".
However, there are different layers of the core and we do want to keep the transverse abdominus and pelvic floor strong.
In this short 3 minute video I show you the BEST EXERCISE to strengthen the transverse abdominus and pelvic floor during pregnancy to help support the stomach (resulting in less back pain) and will help you prepare to close any abdominal gap after birth and bounce back faster!

I found your channel at my early pregnancy but I have been quite lazy keeping it up. I am now 32weeks and will go through your playlist. Hope I am not too late to start now. 🥰

Hello im 22 weeks pregnant, ive gotten very into allllll of your videos because they are very educational without to much extra . Im hoping this is going to be the best breathing practice to continue lifting weifht safely and properly engage the core and protection of the pelvic floor to prevent dooming .

I'm more of a weight lifter, I find yoga and breathing exercises very boring. Are there any alternative exercises that are more like weight lifting that I could do to still strengthen the transversal abdominal core?

Why can't you do smooth inhales and exhales? What's rhe significance of the 5 step inhale/exhale? Thanks!

I think it's a core strengthening exercise and you're supposed to engage the abdominal muscles, not just breathe.

Hello, I’m confused on the inhale.

Hi, how many reps should we do during pregnancy? Also, is this safe to do if you haven't completely healed the diasti recti from previous pregnancy?

Thanks for all these helpful videos! How many reps and sets do you recommend?😊

@michaelscottpapercompany09 3 жыл бұрын

So would you recommend on finding exercises for the TA during pregnancy or just do the breathing exercises?

Hi, I am really looking forward into incorporating this in my routine. I have also downloaded your complete guide for healing the diastasis recti gap. However, I was wondering if I can do all the exercises shown there while pregnant or whether I should only do them once my baby has born. Thanks!

Areli López Hi Areli! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! How far along are you now? The Diastasis Recti exercise are designed for after pregnancy so I would recommend waiting. In the mean-time this is a great exercise to incorporate or I always include pregnancy-safe core exercises in all my prenatal yoga and fitness you can find in the prenatal fitness playlist.

@@PregnancyandPostpartumTV Hi again! Haven't had any morning sickness at all thus far! This has been great and I hope it continues like that. I wanted to ask you again about this exercise. How many repetitions would you recommend in a series? And how many times a day? Thanks again in advance!

Areli López Hopefully you don’t get too sick then, I was definitely queasy by week 6. I did 10 -20 reps 3-6 x per day. I started with 10 reps 3 x per day and added more as I got stronger. It should only take a few min each time :)
