Diastasis Recti Phase 2: After building core stabilization in diastasis recti phase 1, we add layers of difficulty while maintaining safe positions and exercises.
NOTE: This series is not for pregnancy.
Diastasis Recti (DR) - Believe it or not, research has shown that at least 45% of moms have an abdominal separation (or diastasis recti) six months postpartum. Most don’t even know that it’s there until they experience a weak core, a belly they don’t like (i.e. the mommy tummy, muffin top or any other ugly name we call it) and lower back pain.
Phase 2: After building core stabilization in diastasis recti phase 1, we add layers of difficulty while maintaining safe positions and exercises. This program is for postnatal mommas. Use the Pregnancy workouts if you have this ab separation during pregnancy.
