I gave birth to twins at age 43 last year which resulted in major diastasis recti. I did this workout daily for months and went from a five-finger gap to less than a one-finger gap. It was very challenging at first and I remained at level one for months. A year later I still do this workout at level 3 and am watching my c-section pooch disappear. Thank you Lindsay! You are an inspiration. xoxo
Started exercising with your abs videos three months postpartum with baby no.3. Doing the exercises every other day. At first it was hard, now 8 months postpartum level three is good for me. I’ve never had a flatter tummy in my life. Thank you for your amazing videos.
I've been so discouraged after having my 3 babies in 4 years. This is the first ab workout I've done since delivery and I so appreciate the modifications so I don't feel like a failure. I'll be doing this everytime!!
Obsessed with this and keep coming back 2~3 times a week. I tried to look for other ones that are good for DR and postpartum but this is hands down the best: short and effective. Love your energy! Please add more like this.
I'm so glad you love this one! This is another good one that's safe for DR + PP -- www.nourishmovelove.com/postpartum-recovery-diastasis-recti-exercises/
Hi! Thank you for these DR videos. I recently had an abdominal surgery, my Dr. Recommended looking for DR specific ab routines to help regain strength in my core safely. You are helping more than the new mama's out there! After a month of doing your DR routine I've graduated to this practice. I really appreciate you!
Hands down the best ab workout I've done. I really appreciate all the modifications you offer! I haven't even had a baby but I am at the most beginner level. Can't wait to get stronger doing these!
Thank you! Love this workout. I am about 30 years past having babies and this workout is challenging. The moves encourage proper engagement of the core muscles. Excellent!
Did this yesterday + the HIIT plus abs & Holy moly! My entire core feels so good (& sore 😆)! Thanks again for posting these! So glad you popped up after one of my workouts!
Thank you so much ! I am eight weeks post abdominal hysterectomy. I have five children including twins in that bunch! I’ve been practicing astanga yoga for 11 years... easing back with vinyasa flow this week...This recovery has been incredibly difficult and painful....fitness has been an major part of my emotional and physical health. I’m starting pelvic floor physical therapy next week! Thank you for posting such a fun work out ! I will be adding this as much as I can in addition to getting myself back to where I was before my surgery. 🙂
You are so amazing, mama! I'm so sorry to hear that you're in pain and I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you! All these workouts will be waiting here for you when you're ready! ❤️
I’ve been doing your 10 mins after baby workout since I was 2 month pp. I’m 8 months pp & this was my first time doing this one. & Holy moly!! My abs are on fire!! 🔥
3 months post partum with my second. These exercises including your video for DR are so motivating and already I can do the videos twice in a row every day. Thank you!
Years ago, I had a vertical c-section. My nerves never regenerated, so I have no feeling in my lower abs. Your constant reminders to keep my back against the map are very much needed!
Deep 3.5 finger separation here, 11 months pp...struggled with DR every pregnancy. Im really hopeful this will finally bring some healing. 2 days in and my whole core and hip joints are on fire so i know its working!🎉😊
You’re amazing! 10mins,, 35mins doesn’t matter always a thorough workout!! I keep trying to switch it up with other channels but you make it so hard bc they don’t ever compare to you !! Thank you! And congrats on new baby.
I used your 10-min DR video for months after having baby no. 2. I've progressed onto this one today. You. Are. AMAZING! The best for mamas IMO. Thank you so much.
3 months postpartum (csection) and this video has become my go to ab workout. I really feel the difference on days I do it versus days I don't. NourishMoveLove has been such a part of my pregnancy journey; so thank you so much Lindsey for your positivity and amazing collection of challenging workout videos!
I'm SO happy you're enjoying the workouts + finding them helpful!! You're doing AWESOME mama! Did you see we have a whole postpartum workout calendar? You might enjoy that as well! www.nourishmovelove.com/postpartum-workout-plan/
I LOVE this workout. I’ve finally figured out how to engage my core thanks to this video right here and have been doing it for months :) my question is, if we are working on closing our gap, should we do the crunches and planks or should we stick to the modified versions of those? Just don’t want to do anything to make it worse!
I would recommend staying away from crunches and planks! You want to avoid all exercises that cause a visible coning, or doming, in your ab muscles (across the linea alba).
I tacked this on to the end of my 20 minute strength workout and I definitely felt the burn. There was a cue to take the work out of your hip flexors but I'm not understanding how to do that. Any tips? Maybe my hip flexors are out of shape but I was definitely feeling a lot of the burn there.
Recovering from 3rd baby, I honestly had fun!! You are so sincere and uplifting and don’t feel condescending. 😊 It makes all the difference that you’ve been where we are and are focusing on overall health, not on having a “bikini body.”
Thank you so much for this - I am seeing a pelvic floor, PT at age 59. Had four kids in seven years in my 30s and every woman who’s carried a child - and maybe others would benefit from exercises like this. Not just for your ab and Pelvic Floor muscles but also your lower back - thanks Lindsey
I also just found your channel this week, very impressed, your cueing is excellent did this workout today and loved it. This will be my go to ab workout thanks for sharing.
Loved this ten minute lower ab workout, plus the modifications!! I could really feel my abs on fire, thank you so much! Look forward to do doing it a few times a week to build up strength.
I found this video looking for an ab workout to add to my current routine that's easier on my scar tissue post hysterectomy and I've already told four other friends about it. This has been a very helpful video, thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, AWESOME WORK mama!! Did you see we have a whole (free!) postpartum workout plan? You might enjoy that as well! www.nourishmovelove.com/postpartum-workout-plan/
Finally felt my lower abs works a little! Had to modify a little cause I felt it in my back but honestly this is the best lower ab workout I have ever seen!
Thanks, I've been trying to lower my belly fat and I think this is the one I need to do it! I really aprreciate it. Thx for helping a self concious teen 🥺
Thank you for this. I am intimidated by ab workouts. I love the options and levels and your reminder to engage abs and not hips. I am 53 and am trying build core strength for this next chapter of life. I will use this video as a guide. Thank you very much.
I'm loosely following the October workout plan. So far so good! Do you have a link or a date published on the spongeball ab workout? I don't think I've tried that one and my ball is collecting dust. Thanks!
Great workout. Whenever I do these types of exercises, I feel it more in my thighs. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the way I'm built? Thanks Anna
If you're feeling it in your thighs, it might mean you are extending your legs further away from your body than your core is ready for (putting the work into your legs vs. core) -- try shortening your leg extensions! Your legs work to stabilize you, but we want the abs to be doing that work in this case, so focus on making the movements smaller/more intentional so you can focus on using your abs instead of thighs!
I've been following these workouts since I was able to start working out after my baby I'm 4 months postpartum and basically back to the size I was pre pregnancy . Just gotta build my core strength and tighten the loose skin !
Love this workout! Question if you have a chance to answer. Is there an alternative level 2&3 for the very last move? I have feet issues where I can't get into the bear crawl position and I feel like I am ending the workout weak with level 1 now that I've worked up my core strength!! Thanks in advance!!
I know I'm late to this video but I was looking for an ab workout for after my run and came across this and loved it so much so thank you so much I really felt it working my abs!!!
I have a question I'm whey over the partem can this or these exercises great for lower abs or core....? Thank you so much for your help and time....you rock
These Workouts are just great. Feeling the burn. during the single leg kickout move i feel a little bulging/ doming in the lower abs. Is that okay ? If not how to make sure the doming doesn’t happen.
Hi is this exercise also good if you have diastasis recti ? I’ve been doing your diastasis recti workout and wanted to know if it’s ok to add this one to it
This is awesome! I'm 11 months post partum, what would you recommend to do now that this has become easyish? I still have about a 2cm gap but my muscle control is strong👌
Way to go mama! Yes, I suggest progressing to this ab workout -- th-cam.com/video/kbmg-0lpAOc/w-d-xo.html. And if that becomes easy progress to this one -- th-cam.com/video/wM7EGbXySDk/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been using your DR and now this workout for months and I’m happy to say I have begun to close my 5 finger a gap to 1.5! Just a couple of comments: when you wear all black I struggle to sometimes understand the moves, specifically the one here where are you crossing your foot on your knee and pressing in? And on the DR workout, the one where you put feet in the first position of ballet. It’s hard to see your legs and what’s happening so I wondered if you’re able to one day modify the video to show it from an aerial view, or perhaps wear a different colour legging and top so that the contrast makes the visual easier?
Thank you for your feedback! We have recently filmed new DR videos for a program that we are putting together. They might be helpful for you to try! You can find them in this playlist -- th-cam.com/play/PLpa0d6IJAhbjxlK1l2-WcD5F64jNg58t0.html
Dear Lindsey, I discovered your videos and I love them! BUT: I struggle to touch the mattress with my lower back. I don't know if it's lumbar lordosis or a round ass, the fact is that I have to commit myself by arching my pelvis. However, as I move my legs, this hollow forms (I pass an arm through it without a problem) and therefore the more "open" exercises, those involving arms and legs or straight legs... make me nervous because I feel like I'm doing them badly. Would you have any advice? Do I need to buy that ab pillow? Thank you very much for your reply, if it arrives. It will be precious.❤
SO glad you found your way to NML! I would recommend doing the workouts where you struggle touching your lower back to the mat from an incline or with a stability ball! Here is a link to the stability ball we love -- amzn.to/3L4AkOB
I have a question that hopefully you can answer. First off, love your workouts. Such good energy. On the exercises that involve the knee extending in the air, my left knee pops. Is there a way I can modify those exercises so I don't keep popping my knee?
I'm so glad you're loving the workouts! Are you referencing the second exercise? Fire hydrant kicks? If it's uncomfortable you can sub that exercise for glute bridges! You might also like this 8 minute mat workout - th-cam.com/video/UyABQFE6WBU-/w-d-xo.html
@@nourishmovelove I believe it was the first move after the warmup. The exercise right before the frog move. Glute bridges will work for that move? And I will definitely give that other video a look-see!! Thank you!!
It’s fairly common to feel ab exercises in your hip flexors (the group of muscles along the front of your hip). Trainer tips for feeling ab workouts in your hips: 1. Stretch your hips and lower body before doing an ab workout to release some of the tension in your hip flexors. I like this 10-Minute Stretching Routine -- th-cam.com/video/c7Gr8Rv0iMs/w-d-xo.html 2. Try deactivating your hip flexors with these exercises -- th-cam.com/video/b-lKgccv8Og/w-d-xo.html 3. Reset your body each time you feel your ‘hips’ taking over your ab muscles. 4. Imagine there is a string between your hip bones. As you exhale that string (or your TA muscles) are pulling your hip bones together.
Great exercise. Didn't have a baby but I had 2 uterine surgery done having the same cut as Ceasarean. My core has just weakened and gained lots of fat on my lower abdomen. This exercise is just what I need
I love this abs workout Lindsey! I’ve been adding to my daily workouts like today after you killed me in the strength and conditioning workout! I love how it doesn’t look hard but it’s fire during move 7! I have to close my eyes 😂
question, i have been doing your diastasis 10min vid, and i am down to 1 finger separation. do I need to keep going and close completely before moving on to this video?
Currently 18months postpartum with a 3 finger separation. Just found this workout and the 10mins one for disastic recti. I do them both together 3 times a week. Am I on the right track?
I'm so happy you found your way here! This is a great post-baby ab workout but if you have DR and notice any coning or doming during these ab exercises, I recommend scaling back to the 8 Diastasis Recti Safe Ab Exercises -- th-cam.com/video/u4z7sBiGFA8/w-d-xo.html
this is a really good workout but i just have a question. since im a beginner is it normal if it hurts your lower back? my back hurt a little as i was doing thissss
Way to go Janice! And I would suggest two things -- 1. Option to bend your knees more (the shorter the lever the easier the exercise or less chance of dipping into your low back). 2. You could keep your low back on the mat for some exercises by dropping from the seated position to resting on your forearms!
Absolutely this is an effective lower ab workout! And it all depends on what you define as 'results' but I suggest adding it to your workout routine 2-3 times a week.
also for the 5:24 exercise you said you're pushing your hand to the right side, is that the hand on the knee constantly or the hand that touches the other hand during the crunch portion?
You are pushing your hand into your knee the entire time. To make it even more challenging push your toe into the opposing leg to activate the inner thighs as well.
Thank you! My other question is I think I am activating my transverse abdominals but I’m not 100 percent sure. How do I know for sure I’m doing it right, otherwise how do you recommend activating them

Great lower ab workout. I felt it. Thanks. Lindsey. It’s great even if you aren’t postpartum. You look awesome! 👍😊
Yes!! Such a good basic ab workout everyone can benefit from! Thanks so much for giving it a try, Janie!

Way to go mama! Yes, I suggest progressing to this ab workout -- th-cam.com/video/kbmg-0lpAOc/w-d-xo.html.
And if that becomes easy progress to this one -- th-cam.com/video/wM7EGbXySDk/w-d-xo.html
@@nourishmovelove oh amazing!.thanks so much. Loving your workouts
I’ve been using your DR and now this workout for months and I’m happy to say I have begun to close my 5 finger a gap to 1.5! Just a couple of comments: when you wear all black I struggle to sometimes understand the moves, specifically the one here where are you crossing your foot on your knee and pressing in? And on the DR workout, the one where you put feet in the first position of ballet. It’s hard to see your legs and what’s happening so I wondered if you’re able to one day modify the video to show it from an aerial view, or perhaps wear a different colour legging and top so that the contrast makes the visual easier?
Thank you for your feedback! We have recently filmed new DR videos for a program that we are putting together. They might be helpful for you to try! You can find them in this playlist -- th-cam.com/play/PLpa0d6IJAhbjxlK1l2-WcD5F64jNg58t0.html
@@nourishmovelove ooooh thank you! It keeps me motivated to keep going, for sure
you the bomb! Love how challenging this workout is!
So glad you liked this one -- I do it weekly!
Dear Lindsey, I discovered your videos and I love them! BUT: I struggle to touch the mattress with my lower back. I don't know if it's lumbar lordosis or a round ass, the fact is that I have to commit myself by arching my pelvis. However, as I move my legs, this hollow forms (I pass an arm through it without a problem) and therefore the more "open" exercises, those involving arms and legs or straight legs... make me nervous because I feel like I'm doing them badly. Would you have any advice? Do I need to buy that ab pillow? Thank you very much for your reply, if it arrives. It will be precious.❤
SO glad you found your way to NML! I would recommend doing the workouts where you struggle touching your lower back to the mat from an incline or with a stability ball! Here is a link to the stability ball we love -- amzn.to/3L4AkOB
I have a question that hopefully you can answer. First off, love your workouts. Such good energy. On the exercises that involve the knee extending in the air, my left knee pops. Is there a way I can modify those exercises so I don't keep popping my knee?
I'm so glad you're loving the workouts! Are you referencing the second exercise? Fire hydrant kicks? If it's uncomfortable you can sub that exercise for glute bridges! You might also like this 8 minute mat workout - th-cam.com/video/UyABQFE6WBU-/w-d-xo.html
@@nourishmovelove I believe it was the first move after the warmup. The exercise right before the frog move. Glute bridges will work for that move? And I will definitely give that other video a look-see!! Thank you!!
@@nourishmovelove haha looked at the other video. It's already on my rotation 😊
Any tips on how to keep the work out of the hip flexors and in the abs?? Thanks! 💪
It’s fairly common to feel ab exercises in your hip flexors (the group of muscles along the front of your hip). Trainer tips for feeling ab workouts in your hips:
1. Stretch your hips and lower body before doing an ab workout to release some of the tension in your hip flexors. I like this 10-Minute Stretching Routine -- th-cam.com/video/c7Gr8Rv0iMs/w-d-xo.html
2. Try deactivating your hip flexors with these exercises -- th-cam.com/video/b-lKgccv8Og/w-d-xo.html
3. Reset your body each time you feel your ‘hips’ taking over your ab muscles.
4. Imagine there is a string between your hip bones. As you exhale that string (or your TA muscles) are pulling your hip bones together.
Thank you for the great excercises!!
I'm so glad you loved this one!
Great exercise. Didn't have a baby but I had 2 uterine surgery done having the same cut as Ceasarean. My core has just weakened and gained lots of fat on my lower abdomen. This exercise is just what I need
Awesome work!
Such a great workout for postpartum. Took me months of hard work to get the strength back in my abs after my kids!
Seriously!! Postpartum core repair is no joke! Thanks so much for giving it a try, Alina!
I love it! You are amazing! So motivating!
I'm so glad you loved this one!! Awesome work!
8 months postpartum from a C-section and this was awesome for my abs!! Thank you so much 💗
You are so awesome mama!
This was great, keep the good working going......cheers
Thanks for sweating with us!
Such a great lower ab workout! I loved it!
YEAH so glad you loved this one!!
Really good. I thought it might not be as challenging but with the different options to make it harder it was awesome and I really felt it.n
Oh yes, there are ALWAYS ways to level up and make any exercise more challenging! Nice work!
Yay looks like a killer workout! I’ll do this one tomorrow 💕
Yes!! You'll have to let me know what you think!
I love this abs workout Lindsey! I’ve been adding to my daily workouts like today after you killed me in the strength and conditioning workout! I love how it doesn’t look hard but it’s fire during move 7! I have to close my eyes 😂
YEAH!! The closed eyes move --that's when you really know it's burning! Way to go!
Can I do the crunches and planks if I am engaging correctly and not coning? I have a 3.5 finger gap but know how to engage properly.
I would recommend continue working on DR core exercises! Here is are a 28 day ab plan to follow -- www.nourishmovelove.com/diastasis-recti-program/
This was awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Way to go Zaida! I hope you come back for more!
@@nourishmovelove yes!!!
question, i have been doing your diastasis 10min vid, and i am down to 1 finger separation. do I need to keep going and close completely before moving on to this video?
I would continue doing the DR video! Here is a full plan to follow - www.nourishmovelove.com/diastasis-recti-program/
Currently 18months postpartum with a 3 finger separation. Just found this workout and the 10mins one for disastic recti. I do them both together 3 times a week. Am I on the right track?
I'm so happy you found your way here! This is a great post-baby ab workout but if you have DR and notice any coning or doming during these ab exercises, I recommend scaling back to the 8 Diastasis Recti Safe Ab Exercises -- th-cam.com/video/u4z7sBiGFA8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. I did notice doming with some of the exercises so I'll scale back and be patient with my body while doing the exercises in the link.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sweating with us!
This was great!
YEAH I'm so glad you loved this one! Awesome work!
this is a really good workout but i just have a question. since im a beginner is it normal if it hurts your lower back? my back hurt a little as i was doing thissss
Way to go Janice! And I would suggest two things -- 1. Option to bend your knees more (the shorter the lever the easier the exercise or less chance of dipping into your low back). 2. You could keep your low back on the mat for some exercises by dropping from the seated position to resting on your forearms!
Is this workout effective??? or does it actually work, and if it does then how many days to u actually see the results???
Absolutely this is an effective lower ab workout! And it all depends on what you define as 'results' but I suggest adding it to your workout routine 2-3 times a week.
It works if you actually work! Compliment it with clean eating, you will get the results you seek. She is tangible evidence!
Do you recommend working abs every day or should we take rest days?
I would recommend taking rest days!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support! Keep up the great work!
I have a 1 finger DR left,so will these excercises help recover the remaining gap too?
With consistency these exercises should help!
Absolutely amazing 🤗😁
So glad you enjoyed this one, awesome work!!
Is that good for diastasis recti which I'm fixing?? ❤️
I highly recommend this workout -- th-cam.com/video/u4z7sBiGFA8/w-d-xo.html
☑️ thank you!
💪💪
It was excellent❤
YAY thanks for sweating with me!
also for the 5:24 exercise you said you're pushing your hand to the right side, is that the hand on the knee constantly or the hand that touches the other hand during the crunch portion?
You are pushing your hand into your knee the entire time. To make it even more challenging push your toe into the opposing leg to activate the inner thighs as well.
Thank you! My other question is I think I am activating my transverse abdominals but I’m not 100 percent sure. How do I know for sure I’m doing it right, otherwise how do you recommend activating them
Can I do this workout on daily or alternatively?
You can certainly do it daily if you'd like.
Lindsey while dping dead bug also do i need to keep my tummy tight back to spine? Pls reply. Because iam getting belly cone coming up
Yes keep belly tight to spine! You can reduce range of motion (bend your knees, or don't kick out as far!) to reduce any hard coning.
you are my go to especially after finding out I have diastasis recti 11 years after having my daughter 3 c-sections
Keep up the great work!
