15 Minute Diastasis Recti Repair Workout—Postnatal Core After Pregnancy. – BodyFit By Amy

Congrats on your growing family! Thank you so much for your workout videos especially on DR.

Quick question: Should I feel sore from doing these DR abs workout? I feel like I am not doing it right unless I get sore. Any insight you have will be greatly appreciated!

There is a much better easier and simpler exercise. The Diastasis Rekti expert has a better exercise program. Please goggle Dr Julie Tupler. her program works. I am a 65 year old man with the same issue. Not just women who suffer from it. her core exercises are easy and effective and I recommend them to anyone who wants a strong stomach. You see everyone doing massive situps at the gym that just makes the Rekti much much worse. The "6 Pack" look is actually the rekti muscle separating and very very bad for you. I do all my rekti exercises driving in my car. Months later I have a rock hard stomach and rekti 100% better. here we go:

Gently Suck in your stomach all the way in like its hitting your spine then release all the way out. When first starting out dont suck it in hard and deep be gentle till your stomach gest used to it. Repeat this 15 times on the 15th time hold your stomach all the way in for 30 seconds. Release after 30 secs and repeat. I do about 500 of these a day mostly while driving. You do just 100 of these a day over the course of a day and in 3 days you will feel your stomach getting tighter and firmer and stronger. Its amazing how fast all those muscles respond to this. The really cool thing I have a bad back and that really helps too for bad back and for men prostrate improves also. You are strengthening the hundreds of little support muscles in the your pelvic girdle. It really really works. Prove me wrong and do 100 of them for 2 days and see if you don't see a change in your gut and back.
Julie Tupler also goes into lifestyle changes for men and women on how to protect your gut and back. Really good stuff and has changed my life. Good Luck and this will fix your Rekti.

I think this is a great video showing the progressions and breath work (SOOO important for engaging the core muscles and other reasons), and I hope those following along are starting with the easier move first before progressing to what feels more challenging, especially if they are new to exercise in general – don't rush it, people, sometimes it's necessary to slow down. I am a chiropractor and personal trainer, and for some of my patients and clients who are pregnant, or post partum, and even those who are seniors, have really bad lower back or neck pain, very weak core muscles, or are starting exercise, I think this video would be great, and I believe your other ones will be just as helpful after watching this one. I will often recommend my clients and patients new to exercise/long awaited return to exercise start with "turning on" their core first, and I will recommend they search for pre-postnatal workouts if they want to do more at home than what we do face to face. I also believe sometimes it is important to go back to the basics, even for seasoned exercisers, to make sure you still have a strong foundation (the core), and I will actually incorporate some of these moves into my own workouts and with clients. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to helping my patients and clients with your help. Thank you, Amy!

I don not know about thisproblem until now. I gave birth 3 years ago. I can still solve this problem?

Thank you Amy – love this video! Healed my 3 finger gap in 2 months. I started video 2.5 months post natal & did video most days. At beginning video was very hard, but gained strength quickly & incorporated moves from advanced video into this one. Still need more work on pelvic floor though

Thank you so much for your videos. I'm a year PP from my second, and started using this video 2½ weeks ago. I'm already seeing progress. I can't wait to try out some of the other videos too.

Would this strengthen the core from a hurt lower back as I was told I need to strengthen my core to help heal lower back

Any advice on when to start this postpartum? Is 3 weeks postpartum too soon?

This is THE BEST DR workout I've found on YouTube. I love ur workouts Amy n follow them regularly now. Even on lazy days, u have workouts that make me wanna keep going. These DR video had the best of ur collections. It's my new fav. Gonna follow it consistently. Thanks a ton Amy! 😘

So, there shouldn’t be any gap? Mine is 1 finger gap

Good job Army 👏👏👏

After nearly 29 years, I discovered that this is my problem! I hope these exercises can help, I've been demented wondering why I always had this big belly hangover especially being a fitness fanatic!

Hi, I'm one week postpartum. When can I start these workouts

Can I do your workout with a bind?

Love Amy but confusing video as not sure when she was breathing in or out x needs to more emphasis on the breathing part x.
