- Be gentle with your body. It has been through a lot. Although you may feel like this is too easy, and maybe it is, but during this recovery period, it is always going to be better to take it easy, and continue along with steady progress, than go too hard and pay the price later.
- I would STRONGLY recommend finding a pelvic floor therapist in your area to check you out around 6 weeks postpartum. They will see how things are repairing, and will make sure your abs are coming back together the way they should.
- The exercises in this workout are meant to be gentle, and if you feel yourself straining and creating a bulge in your abdomen, I would recommend backing off the intensity, or even skipping that workout until you have seen the pelvic floor therapist.
- I am not a doctor, and you should be cleared by your OB/GYN or doctor before you begin this program. These are exercise that worked for me, but I do not have any certifications to prescribe these to you.
- Be sure to focus on your breathing before you begin each exercise, think about pulling your pelvic floor up and in (as if you are trying to squeeze into a pair of jeans) before you begin. This will help you recruit the right muscles to bring your core back together.
