4 Early Postpartum Deep Core Exercises: Before you try these moves, read this👇.
Which deep core exercises you should start with and progress to in postpartum is entirely dependent on how YOU manage pressure.
Everybody is different and handles position and load differently. I’ve had clients manage pressure well in a plank at 6 weeks postpartum, while others had to build up to it for months 🤷♀️. This is why education about the pregnant and postpartum body is so important.
🚨 The Essential 4-Point Safety Checklist
Before trying the moves in this video, ask yourself these crucial questions:
🔹Pain: Do you have any pain while doing this exercise?
🔹Pelvic Floor: Are you experiencing any leaking or heaviness in your pelvic floor?
🔹Abdomen: Do you see any coning or bulging at the midline of your abdomen?
🔹Alignment: Are you struggling to maintain a stacked body position?
If you answer yes to one or more, let’s troubleshoot. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should completely avoid the exercise, but you must look into HOW you are performing it.
We can play with many variables (alignment, position, breathing, load, etc.) to make the exercise work for you right now. The truth is, we do have to challenge your tissues in order to get stronger. We can’t always stay in the easy zone.
Keep progressing your deep core exercises and make sure you load in different planes of motion!
