GET YOUR CORE BACK
Firstly let me start by saying congratulations on the birth of your little baby! So now that you are hopefully a bit more settled and have 'survived' the first few weeks, I'm guessing you're ready to start the repair process on your abs?!
It's recommended not do any crunches or tough workouts on your abs until after 6 weeks for a normal birth, and 12 weeks for a
c-section. However, you can begin to train the all important pelvic floor straight after the birth of your little one.

Since having your baby you may heave heard about Diastasis Recti. It is a term used to describe the widening of the gap between the 2 sections of the Rectus Abdominis (or 6 pack) abdominal muscle which happens during the latter stages of pregnancy.
When the 2 parts of the Rectus Abdominis muscle separate or come apart, the connective tissue, also known as the Linea Alba is stretched and weakened, leaving the front of the abdomen unsupported and unstable. Once your baby is born, your stomach will naturally begin to close the gap, however, sometimes this may need a bit of help. Closing the gap is important not just to regain the look of your body following pregnancy but also to prevent core weakness, back problems and a whole host of postural issues!
In theory, the day after you give birth you can start doing pelvic floor exercises (which you were doing though out pregnancy...right??!), and from around 6 weeks when you have a bit more energy, begin with basic core strengthening and stabilisation exercises. The Pelvic floor is one of the deepest and most fundamental muscles in the core and it, along with the rest of your core muscles, has had a pretty tough time through pregnancy and birth, so they now need a lot of TLC!
What I do!
GET YOUR CORE BACK is a 5 week gentle and fun core training course which will help you to learn how to control your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles again following pregnancy. Each session will work to rebuild strength in to the deepest core muscles, and will follow a structured progression on each week. I give every mum a handout each week to practise the exercises at home so that each mum comes back the following week at roughly the same level...ready for the next stage. This phase of rebuilding your core must be done gently and slowly to allow it to work from the inside out. This is fundamental in narrowing and closing the diastasis recti.
On your first session I will conduct the all important Diastasis Recti check on you. Depending on what your separation is like, it may take a few weeks, to a few months for you to feel back to normal, but by starting out right with these basic movements, you will get there with no problem.
I run these courses at a home of your choice with a minimum of 3 mums per group to allow for a bit of fun. Classes are run with babies in mind of course, so please don't worry about your little one crying or wriggling, I am very used to training mums and soothing babies - its all part of the job!
GET YOUR CORE BACK will help create a strong foundation for any further training, exercise or sports that we, as mothers, want to be able to get back to as soon as is safely possible!
So why not get a group of your girls together and contact me to GET YOUR CORE BACK now!
