My pageant mode, runner girl, senior year era 💃

catch me wearing neutrals for the rest of my life to make up for every brightly colored item of clothing on this carousel

I actually loved this memory lane because 2016 was so challenging with all the change of getting ready to graduate, but so rewarding because I had zero regrets from high school. My goals were so different— dating, college acceptances, pageant scholarships. Now I’m focused on the birth of my second baby, grad school/career choices, and Matt’s upcoming match for residency. I’ve been thinking so much about what I want 2026 to look like to mimic this year and I think if I had to choose a 2016 theme it would be “full send, no balance.” 🤣 I’d like this year to have a whole lot of that full send energy, but a little more balance. ⚖️

What they say VS what they mean 👀

The point is NOT to make you feel guilty. It’s to make you feel hopeful! You can have babies, love your body, be proud of your effort, and find the grit to be even stronger postpartum.

Let’s do it together in 2026. 🫶 Comment anything and I’ll send you a FREE week of workouts to get you started!

Pregnant and training core? Don’t forget these four things if you want to prevent an separation 👇

💡 Diastasis isn’t caused by one exercise—it’s caused by repeated pressure your core can’t manage. This includes the daily pressure of the uterus pushing down between your six pack muscles, but can be minimized with precautionary steps!

Here’s what I’m doing in this workout to train my abs without widening the gap 👇

1.) Instead of lowering down in a crunch position, I turn to the side and use my arms to lower myself down. This helps prevent excessive strain on your core, and is also a good technique to use getting in and out of bed while pregnant and newly postpartum!

2.) “Exhale on the effort!” This means that you should be exhaling and gently wrapping the pelvic floor and core like a zipper on the HARDER part of the movement.

3.) Single leg movement— this doesn’t mean you absolutely can’t do double leg drops or core workouts that involve bilateral movement. I just know that I’m at a point in pregnancy where my core likely couldn’t handle the pressure if I dropped both legs, so I chose this modification.

4.) checks for coning— coning or doming of the core is your RED LIGHT 🚦 signal that you need to make a change. Explained simply, a bulge down the center of your core means you’re not adequately controlling the pressure, which is one of the contributors to diastasis. (Think a balloon being squished between both of your hands and bulging outward)

All this said— 6 in 10 women will have some level of abdominal separation postpartum and it’s not something to be ashamed of! With a growing uterus it’s difficult to prevent entirely, but you can do your part to protect your core 🫶

SWIPE FOR TRANSFORMATION ➡️

Madison is was one of the most consistent clients I’ve ever worked with and it SHOWED. I did the numbers; she showed up with the intensity!

“Your training program helped me feel like eating healthy and mindful was actually do able and something that I could implement into my daily life. My mindset has been more about consistency over perfection, which is something I have always struggled with in the past. My body feels stronger, I have noticed more muscle definition and been able to hit personal goals in the gym that I havent been able to before.

Abigails knowledge, encouragement, and responsiveness were amazing and she was so good to work with. I also noticed a huge difference in my core strength and my diastasis recti completely resolved doing the exercises and training Abigail programmed for me.

If another mom were thinking about training with Abigail, I would tell her not to even hesitate to take the leap and dive in head first. This has truly been one of the best things I have ever done for myself in the midst of motherhood and always doing things for others. I decided to invest in myself and it truly has paid off.“

Madison did a custom combination program of core recovery + strength training + nutrition coaching! DM me and we’ll start creating YOUR custom program 🫶
