Amy thank you so much! You are so amazing and giving! I have just had my first baby at age 43 during hardcore 4month (and going) Covid19 lockdown in Mumbai India and your videos helped me stay fit for birth … and now repair my body postpartum! Wish you every success and thank you for giving so much knowledge and support to us all ❤️

These videos are the best for every mom! I started working on my dr when my second was already 3yrs old. I did your videos every day for 3 months and was able to get stronger. Still I like to throw in one of theses workouts every here and there, when I did a quicker workout of yours and have time and energy left. 😉 I still feel them working so well. And you are the most motivating coach of all. 🙂 Thanks for your "You showed up – you are successful" – it means so much!

I enjoyed this video, I am 10 wks pp after no 3. I have zero fitness and DR. The leg circles, I am apparently not flexible at all, I can't straighten my leg while it's in the air or bring it 90 degrees to my torso. Hopefully with time that will get better as well.

Hi Amy, thank you so much for these workouts. I am almost a year and half post partum with my second and am already doing more challenging workouts. But i always come back to this playlist to strenghten my core. These are honestly the best post partum core exercices there is.

Thank you Amy! I appreciate your perspective and attitude. I love your post natal fitness videos. I've been doing them on repeat since my first was born 3 years ago.

This video and the others helped me understand how to fix my DR after having 4 kids in 3 years (middle twins), and now I'm using it again two years later to strengthen my core again after being lazy. Thanks!

My youngest is 9 (!) and I've worked on my abs over the years, but they still don't feel 100%. I did this workout without lifting my legs off the ground when lying on my back, as that still puts too much pressure on my diastasis. But I'll keep doing it regularly and see if I can finally strengthen my core! Thank you for your video.

Thank you! I’m 3 fingers, how many times a day do you recommend to do this? How long to heal?

Love this! Have used your workouts for both of my pregnancy and postpartum periods. Thank you for having such a wide variety of DR workouts and modifications in your regular workouts. 💗

Thank you for the great video! I've been doing it daily since I discovered I had DR 3 weeks ago, but please tell me should I have any rest days? Or do them every other day rather than daily? I just don't want to do anything that would make my DR any worse! Thank you again!

Absolutely love your workouts..no matter where one is in the physical activity journey you make it count. How often do you recommend doing these diasastis exercises?

I followed you during my pregnancy and even after c-section. Great exercises but my question is how long do we have to do this exercise and when do we know that abdominal separation is reduced?
