In today’s podcast episode, we’re talking to Physical Therapist Jena Bradley about postpartum core exercises and how to heal your diastasis recti. Jena is committed to helping moms eliminate confusion around how to fix the “mom pooch” and to feel empowered to very simply heal their core and regain strength.
In This Episode –
Postpartum Exercise: What should I be doing in those initial six weeks after I have baby?
Best Exercises for Healing Diastasis Recti and What to Avoid: How to start and how to progress to strategically strengthen and heal the gap in your abdomen
Core Program for Flat Stomach: No matter how long ago you had a baby, Jena gives recommendations for how to get a flat stomach
Abdominal Bracing: The best way to get started is through abdominal bracing. Find out how to do that in this week’s episode.
The Pyramid Method: This is Jena’s secret sauce to a tight core and postpartum abs.
“The keys to the pyramid method are that it takes any excess thinking out of it, it’s repetition, and it’s super easy.”
In this episode, these were my key takeaways –
You can release the initial expectations after baby when it comes to exercise. Then, once you are ready, there is a very simple way to heal your core, get tight abs and a flat stomach.
Even if you are a tired mom, you can find the time to implement Jena’s core program.
Ab exercises to avoid when you have diastasis recti are discussed in this episode.
