If you’re wondering “Why does my belly still look pregnant?” — you are NOT alone, mama. That stubborn belly pooch might be diastasis recti (ab separation after pregnancy) — and the good news is, it can be healed with the right exercises.

These are my best diastasis recti abs exercises that will help you with deep core activation and get a strong core. It's an intense 10 minute at home core rehab workout that includes all my favorite and most effective abs moves that I have used over the years to heal my ab separation after 4 babies.

I challenge you to do this everyday for a week and let me know how your core feels after! For the best belly fat loss results, do this with my longer core rehab workouts on the Mommy Tummy Fix App and simple nutrition.

⭐ 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 often should I do these exercises?

These exercises are safe to do everyday - in fact, Jared recommends 4-7 times a week to see the best results. The key is going to be consistency. The more frequently you can work your deep core, the faster it will become strong.

►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 test you can do on yourself to check: youtube.com/watch?v=XleoCnW0hOo&t=0s

► My youngest baby is now 10 years old (or older!) Will these exercises still work for me?

YES. You can still heal diastasis recti, even if it's been years since you had a baby. Core strength is CRUCIAL for everyone (men and women), but especially postpartum women, regardless of how long it's been since you had your baby.
