Diastasis recti friendly workouts
Does anyone have any recommendations for Pilates workouts that are Diastasis recti friendly?
I’ll start a workout and then they start doing a bunch of crunches and other core workouts that I’m trying to stay away from while I work on healing my ab separation

Pilates is definitely more postnatal friendly. You want to be doing glute bridges, table tops, dead bugs etc. I did these and my DR reduced within 3 to 4 weeks. DM me if u need more info
@Claire I agree with these. Bear knee taps are also great x

Heya, I’m a pre-specialist personal trainer. I would focus on exercises that work your deep core muscles. A great place to start is by lying on your back with your knees and table top, and lower each leg alternatively so your toe taps the floor. Avoid anything that makes your tummy dome. Does this make sense? If you have any questions, please do feel free to DM me. I’ll gladly give you some tips. I also have advice on how to check your separation and its size, so you can monitor it. I hope this helps. C xx
