12 Min Postpartum ab workouts To Repair Your Stomach Muscles After Pregnancy

This class features five of the best postpartum ab workouts you can do to repair your stomach muscles after having a baby.

Pregnancy causes your stomach muscles to stretch and most often split to make room for your growing baby.

Having separated abdominal muscles can not only cause physical issues such as back pain, pelvic pain and or incontinence, amongst other things but it can be the reason for what is called ‘mommy pooch’.

Without doing exercises that are targeted at repairing your muscles it can be difficult to lose the protrusion of the belly and regain some muscle tone.

I can’t tell you the amount of times women have told me that a physiotherapist gave them exercises to do but they didn’t keep up with them.

Honestly, I get it because I was one of those women as well. Life is busy enough without having to add in another chore, which is exactly what rehab work can feel like.

 The exercises are often limited, very repetitive and focus on one area of the body.

The best combination I’ve found for women to succeed at achieving their postpartum fitness and body goals, is to create classes that are challenging, diverse and encompass the whole body.

One thing I was clear on from the beginning when creating Pelvic Mama, was that we don’t just focus on rehab exercises and the aesthetic of your body. You want to be able to lay your head at night and think I am happy, I am confident, I am proud.
