Stop working out an injured muscle.

One of the biggest mistakes we see moms make postpartum is jumping straight into ab workouts without addressing what’s really going on underneath.

Diastasis recti is often labeled as “normal after pregnancy.”

But when you look at it from a clinical perspective, it’s actually a separation—an injury to the abdominal wall.

And here’s the problem:
When you go straight into intense ab workouts (like crunches or “six-pack” programs), you’re training an injured muscle instead of helping it heal.

That’s when frustration sets in:
Why isn’t this working?
Why do I still feel weak?
Why does my body feel off?

Because healing has to come first.

When you focus on proper core rehabilitation:
- your body can recover
- your strength improves
- your results finally start to last

This is the foundation for true postpartum strength and healing.
