Diastis Recti

If you have diastis recti (separated stomach muscles during and after pregnancy), then make sure you follow a work-out program that is customized for your condition - otherwise that gap could get wider and you will lose even more core strength. A more challenging workout will defeat the purpose. Before you sign up for a fitness class, check to make sure the instructor knows what diastis recti is and find out how to modify exercises. Some hospitals offer programs for women with this condition, or go to a yoga centre that offers a restorative class that is gentle and focuses on building core strength safely. Yes, you may feel as though you aren't working very hard, but the gains are tremendous when you are gentle with it. I would imagine it is the same for some women who have had c-sections. I truly believe that every new mom with diastis should see a physical therapist or specialist for an assessment in the first month post-partum.

Good, but not very satisfying

This video is pretty good in the sense that you really feel like she knows what you're going through since she had her own C-section and you see her in the hospital. The post 6 week routine is pretty relaxing, easy to follow and you can easily find the props in your home. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I didn't really feel like I got a good workout OR a good stretch, which I would have liked. I'm pretty average when it comes to being in shape and just had my second c-section, but I just didn't feel afterward like I had accomplished much after this workout. It may be just that I'm impatient, but I would have liked to feel a little burn or a little sore the next day, but I haven't felt a thing. I know the point isn't to hurt yourself, but you would like to think that you are burning some calories and building some muscle after having a baby and I just didn't feel like the workout pushed me very hard.

Great workout--post partum and otherwise

I exercised through my pregnancy and was eager to start up again but was cautious because of the 6-week rule. This DVD was a great beginning in that phase and beyond. It would have been nice to have seen the DVD even before I went to the hospital since the instructor shows some simple things you can do while in the bed. The bed exercises would have been great just to start stretching out and feeling less like an invalid.

I've started the post-6-week workout and it is great. To be honest, since I've done pilates before pregnancy and exercised regularly throughout, I thought it would be an easy workout. It is not, though it is low-impact and sensitive to the post-pregnancy physical state.

All in all a great purchase. Highly recommended.
