Postnatal Exercises Video | Abdominal Exercises on the Ball

Postnatal exercises for your abdominal muscles need to focus on using & strengthening your deep core muscles, as well as your pelvic floor, & not just the ‘six pack muscle’ at the front. You need to avoid sit ups & crunches as well as certain Pilates moves which will make a diastasis recti or abdominal separation worse.

The postnatal exercises for your abs you SHOULD BE DOING INSTEAD are abdominal core strength exercises that work your stabilizing, deep core muscles – these are the muscles that will give you a flat stomach after having babies!

Exercises like the ones in the video below!

Please see safety notes below first & go here for early postnatal exercises (first 4 months)

This little routine also works pretty much your entire upper & lower body, as well as your tummy too!

Of course these postnatal exercises need to be integrated into a routine of consistent & regular interval training, as well as a clean, healthy diet if you want to actually SEE that lovely new flat tummy… but here’s some great postnatal exercises that really make your abs work!

Warning! These postnatal exercises are not suitable for at least the first 12 weeks after having a baby & most are not suitable if you have diastasis recti (abdominal separation) &/or a completely unconditioned core.

Take care of your back during these exercises – they’re hard! You MUST keep your abs pulled in & pelvic floor engaged throughout to support your back. If you ‘let go’ of your abdominal muscles, your back will sag as it takes your full body weight & it will hurt

Only the one from the kneeling position (pulling the ball in with your elbows) is suitable in the first 4 months after childbirth & should be mastered before the others. The pike position with straight legs & your bottom in the air is pretty advanced & you need strong core muscles to maintain the postion. So watch it all through full first & then start slowly… Have fun!
