Good Healthy Food For All The Family (Yeah, Right!)
We all know our families should be eating good healthy food. But hands up who finds this a laughable idea that is simply never going to work in your family? Because a) Your kids don’t like the colour green, or leaves, or things that have seeds in, or any fruit with skin, or funny textures, or things that you need to chew lots, or foods with weird smells, or anything that isn't orange... (the … [Read More...]
“When Can I Do Crunches + Planks Again?”
This is a question I hear time + again; “I get that I can’t do crunches while I have Diastasis Recti, but can I start to do them again when I’ve closed the gap?” At which point, I might scream a little inside. The thing is that crunches are widely perceived to be the only route to flat abs. But you don’t need to do crunches to have a flat stomach – I’m proof of * that & so … [Read More...]
How to Engage Your Transverse Abdominis Muscle Correctly + Flatten Your Stomach

Core Training Exercises | Get the Basics Right First
There are endless core training exercises you can attempt to sculpt your midsection, but it’s really important to get the basics right before you launch yourself into endless reps of complex manoeuvres. First & foremost, good alignment is the foundation for effective core training exercises, so that’s where the focus should start. For many, posture presents a Catch 22: lack of core … [Read More...]
Breaking the Mummy Tummy Taboo | A Safe Place for MuTu Mamas
The MuTu Mamas Facebook Group is a secure place where women following a MuTu program can share their experiences, advice, & body confidence issues.

Customers are manually admitted by the team so it … [Read More...]

Diastasis Recti | Its Not Just About Muscles
From my own experience, & from listening to hundreds of mums, I know that problems we have with our body after having children can’t be deemed purely physical. The impact is emotional too – when our body doesn’t function as it should, we can feel frustrated & let down, & our confidence can be sapped. Diastasis recti is one of the conditions that has this double impact. It’s … [Read More...]
Don’t Ignore Your Pelvic Floor
We don’t talk about wee leakage much with our girlfriends. It’s not really thought to be a topic of ‘polite conversation’. But we really should, because despite the apparent taboo, 1 in 3 women aged 35 & over suffers from light bladder leakage. If we talked about it, perhaps we would do more about it! It's Not Just About Leaking If you don't deal with your leaky undercarriage, … [Read More...]

What Singing Does To Your Pelvic Floor!
I got an really interesting email from MuTu Mama Alice about a problem I'll admit I hadn’t considered before: how to engage the pelvic floor ... whilst singing! Alice is a member of the Military Wives Choirs (she was one of the original Plymouth Choir & has since set up a new choir in Oman!) & this question had been troubling her since she embarked on MuTu System. As a singer, … [Read More...]
Is An Online Workout Right For You?
Doing an online workout program has many advantages, but is it the best thing for YOU? Well, MuTu System 12 Week is online & MuTu Focus is online or on DVD, so I guess I’m biased. But I offer my programs in these formats, because they bring me a way to reach more women, giving them specialist training that’s not always available to them any other way. People who use my online … [Read More...]
What’s Alignment Got To Do With Diastasis Recti?
I talk a lot on this blog about the importance of standing, walking & squatting in correct alignment to correct core & pelvic floor muscle weakness. Which may sound odd, because you'd think binding or splinting the muscles together, or doing lots of ab exercises, would be a more obvious or direct way to deal with abdominal muscles that aren’t doing their job... The reason it has … [Read More...]
Nutritional Food for Women: 12 Tips For You!
