Welcome to Day 4 of the Stronger in 7 Challenge! 💪
Today we’re taking the core work off the floor — no crunches, no mat, just standing core moves that build real-life strength.
If you’ve been wanting to strengthen your core safely (especially postpartum or with diastasis recti), this is your workout! These upright, functional moves are designed to fire your abs while keeping your spine and pelvic floor happy.
TODAY’S FOCUS: Standing Core — safe, functional, and effective.
You’ll need:
• 1 light dumbbell (or water bottle/soup can 🥫)
• Optional: bodyweight only — you’ll still feel it!
Moves in this workout:
1️⃣ Dumbbell Twists
2️⃣ Dumbbell Wood Chop (Low → High)
3️⃣ Overhead Dumbbell Hold + March
4️⃣ Alternating Front Knee to Elbow
5️⃣ Alternating Oblique Crunch
6️⃣ Dumbbell Around-the-Worlds
Remember: keep your belly button gently pulled in, ribs down, and shoulders relaxed to protect your abs and build deep-core strength safely.
You’re halfway through the challenge — amazing work, mama! 👏

FAQ's:
► How soon can I start these exercises postpartum?
Every body and every pregnancy is so different (and so is every delivery!). Jared always recommends talking with your doctor or midwife before starting any exercise postpartum. Many times it's safe to start posterior pelvic tilt and belly breathing around 2 weeks postpartum, and then slowly work in the other exercises as it feels best for you. Go slow, give yourself grace, and recognize that it took 9 months to grow a child and it will take time to heal and rehab your body as well.
►How do I know if I have diastasis recti?
100% of women have DR at the end of their pregnancy, 2/3 of all women have DR at 6 weeks postpartum and 1/3 of all women have DR 1 year after their baby is born. Here is a quick test you can do on yourself to see if you have diastasis recti: youtube.com/watch?v=rwhi1GoloEU&t=0s
