One of the most common questions that I get asked here on The Mommy Tummy Fix channel is “how can I get my stomach back to normal following pregnancy?”

Many women come to me looking to get rid of the “mommy tummy” (their phrase, not mine) after giving birth. In fact - did you know that’s the whole reason I came up with the Mommy Tummy Fix program? (My wife has had four kids; I've helped her heal a diastasis recti after each baby).

Now - there are a TON of ways you can tone and strengthen your abs. After having a baby, I know this can be a huge issue. Your stomach has been in an all-out battle for the last nine months and the after-effects can leave your stomach… well… “different” than what you may be used to.

I deal daily with women looking to recover their abs after pregnancy, either in my gym or as clients. I dare say the majority of them are going about it the wrong way.

They spend all this time doing millions of sit ups and crunches and then come to me wondering why they’re not seeing results.

Here’s the secret - in order to see abdominal workout results postpartum you HAVE to be doing the RIGHT exercises the RIGHT way. You actually need to STOP doing sit ups and crunches and start spending your time with better exercises that will yield the results you’re after.

WHAT EXERCISES ARE THE BEST FOR MOMMY TUMMY?

Your deepest abdominal muscle is called your “transverse abdominis”. This is the muscle that helps you “draw everything in tight” and draw your belly button in towards your spine. When this muscle is active it basically functions like a corset or “waist trainer” - drawing everything in and holding it there nice and tight.

Strong muscles are tight muscles (the reason why toned individuals look toned). In order to maximally tighten your stomach and really eliminate that mom pooch you HAVE to regularly work this transverse abdominis muscle.

The stronger this muscle the tighter your stomach becomes and we see the mommy pooch start to go bye-bye. In instances of diastasis recti this is the most-important muscle as far as bringing the two separated halves of the rectus abdominis closer together.

So that being said - how do we do it? What’s the most important progression of exercises to activate the transverse abdominis muscle, decrease diastasis separation, and eliminate mommy tummy forever?

It is accomplished through consistently doing workouts just like this one that are designed to heal your ab separation.
