If you have diastasis recti, stop doing crunches like your abs are the problem that needs to be punished. 😭 You don’t need 100 crunches to rebuild your core. You need to learn how to control your core, manage pressure, and strengthen it without constantly pushing your belly outward. Start with simple movements like: ✨ Standing marches ✨ Bird dogs ✨ Heel/toe taps ✨ Glute bridges ✨ Standing wood chops These are great places to start because you can focus on breathing, control, and building strength without jumping straight into intense ab exercises. And listen, your core isn’t “broken.” It just needs to be rebuilt. 🤎 If you’re seeing coning, doming, bulging, or feeling pressure through your midline during an exercise, that’s your cue to modify and focus on better control. #postpartum #diastasisrecti #postpartumjourney #athomeworkouts
