Thanks for working out with me!

Thanks for these! I am 3.5 years postpartum and just never got around to working on my core. I'm doing it now and have seen my diastasis reduce by about half so far! I love how you don't have fluff talk in your videos but still communicate tips for proper technique and how you have the timer on display for us to see. These are effective, manageable, and pleasant. Thank you!
That is amazing progress, Catherine! Thank you for sharing with me and for your kind feedback! 🤍
Ive had three babies in the last four years, must say my belly is a right mess. I swear ur exercises are making a difference slowly slowly DR is improving too.
U r great!
Thank you so much! So glad the workouts are helping you!🤍
thanks so much, Lauren, for these great workouts! I find them super accessible and the short length really allows me to do this every morning. already feeling pretty strong 14 weeks post partum 🎉 looking forward to trying your other programs!
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them and are making progress! That’s exactly why I created them! ❤❤
Good morning Lauren love your workouts and these series . Looking forward to do this one.
Thank you for your creativity and consistency.
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying the workouts! ❤️
I’m loving this plan so much. It is retraining my core to stay engaged all the time, not just during workouts. I started several months ago with a 3 finger diastasis. Now I am on workout 6 and am down to 1 1/2 fingers! Hoping to close that gap as I work slowly through the rest of the plan. Thank you for your gentle approach! It is very welcoming. I’ve shared your page with many other mamas!
Thank you so much for sharing your progress with me-that is amazing!! And thank you for spreading the word. ❤❤
Thank you soo much for the videos.
Started doing these a few weeks ago and my biggest difference isnt that my DR has reduced. It's that I can suck in my abs when before I couldn't ❤🔥
I’m so glad that you’re making progress! Way to go!🎉
Omg these are getting good! I’ve done 1-5 and I’ve never felt so much better about myself.. slowly but surely! Love these thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think you’d also enjoy my Lose Your Mommy Pooch plan, which builds on this workout. It’s on my channel playlists!❤
Thanks for this program Im currently in this video and I went from 92 cm around the stomach to 86 cm which I’m really proud of and looking forward to more progress
That is definitely something to be proud of!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this tough one! I was able to push myself. Will need to revisit this one again.
So glad you enjoyed it! Congrats on making it through workout #6! 👏🏻👏🏻
You're the only one I've encountered whose tummy inflates as much as mine! great workout
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! Monday and a new workout! Thank you,thank you.
Thank you for these, so much. The only true thing in my day. ❤
Glad you’re enjoying the workouts! You’d also enjoy my postpartum Ab program-it’s on my playlists!❤
@@laurenfitterfitnessim now a loyal student of yours! Taking it slow tho, had my babies 15 yrs ago so its gonna take me some time 😊 Thanks again!
I absolutely love this series. I’m two years postpartum and this is the first workout plan I’ve really been able to stick to. Question for these more challenging installments, should we have mastery of these moves before moving on? Like should I be able to hold the Bear Crawl for the full 50 before moving onto workout 7?
Hi Alison! These workouts progress gradually, so after a week or two you can feel free to move forward to the next workout. You want to feel like you can maintain proper technique-while you may still need breaks or not be able to complete the entire interval (the bear crawls are especially tough!😅), you can execute the movements properly and feel in control. Hope this helps!🤍
Hi Lauren, share some videos for breast reduction and to reduce the sagginess for moms
do chest workouts your muscles will come through or get a surgery if its that bad.
for saggy skin strength train and a good diet

Thank you for the update!
I’m sorry you’re having knee pain! I can’t really diagnose as it’s out of my scope or practice. However, you can modify the bear crawl by keeping your knees on the floor and placing a towel underneath for more comfort. You can also replace bear crawls with the bird dog exercise!
@@laurenfitterfitnessI had to stop working out due to this knee pain. I visited orthopedic doctor who got my knees xray. It was normal. I just had swollen knees from my pregnancy. So he gave some tablets and asked not to workout for a while. I stopped for a month or two and then started again. But still can't do squats lunges and bear crawl.
For now I'm replacing bear crawl with bird dog
Love this !!!!

Been doing these workouts since February doing each workout over 1-3 weeks. Let me tell you! These workouts work!! Lauren, what do I do when I get to the end? I'm having a bit of anxiety with not knowing which safe ab workouts to do once I reach the end lol PLEASE HELP lol! Create a healed core dysfunction
workout video please lol
Hi Veronica! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the program and have seen results! Way to go!👏🏻👏🏻
If you haven’t already, I would suggest going through my Postpartum Ab Program. It’s similar to this one and will help you continue to build on your progress. I have all my postpartum core workouts organized on my channel playlists, so any of those would be suitable as well!
I am always creating new content, so I will keep that in mind! Thank you so much for the feedback!🤍
@@laurenfitterfitness Thank you so much Lauren! I will stick to the postpartum programs until I feel comfortable doing other core workouts. Thank you for your response! Take care!
My belly is 92 cm 5 days ago am doing your exercises hope for the best thabks
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay consistent and with time, progress will happen! ❤
I’m loving #6 🥵 Lauren 🤗😮💨 Ty
Yay! You’ve got this, Nancy!❤❤
Hi Lauren. Thanks for doing thess videos.. They are very motivating and you have the best calming voice to help post-partum mommies. It's great that they are not too long as well as it allows me to do them in between my baby's naps which are very short. One question, can i combin3 the previous workouts together or do you think it is too much on one session? Sometimes i feel like i can do more when time permits. Also, should those workouts continue after we have finished them or should we move on to another type of workout to stay in shape with the core? Thanks in advance. 😊
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind feedback! You can combine the workouts, but I’d recommend doing another one of my workouts for a full body workout, if time permits! I have playlists on my channel with postpartum workouts-strength, cardio, toning, HIIT, etc. I would add one of those to this workout if you can!
Once you finish this program, I always recommend my Postpartum Ab Program if you haven’t done it yet. In addition, I have many stand alone postpartum core workouts on my playlists!
Has anybody found themselves getting full more easily and not having as large of an appetite since getting to this level?
Wow! Can we not do the Bear crawls again 😂😂 GEESH! Lol might need to do #6, 3 more times.
Bear crawls are tough! But so good for your deep core and functional movement! And I fully support staying with a workout for longer than a week! Move forward when you feel ready!
So happy I've seen lot of change in my body especially tummy. I did the postpartum ab earlier this year and now I m on #6 ( I did 2 weeks each previous workout). I ve done the exercise every day 😅 like every day still have pooch but I know it will go.? pp 8months baby #2
That is so encouraging! Congrats on your hard work! Speaking from personal experience, healing your core takes a lot of time and effort, but it is possible!🤍
Hello Lauren. i'd be interested to know where you got the word "pooch" to designate a rounded belly. For me "pooch" is synonymous with "doggie", and I would have said "pouch" to mean "belly", like in a kangaroo's pouch. Thanks for your feedback.
After completing these series. What to do next for core. Do the 10 one or can move on to other exercises ? I feel like I will have to do post partum core for life ?!
Hi! Have you down my postpartum Ab program? I’d suggest doing that for more core work and maintenance. You can jump to phases 3&4 if phases 1&2 feel too easy since you’ve done this program already.
I have a playlists of postpartum core workouts; some are advanced, so I recommend those! Just bc they’re “postpartum” doesn’t mean that they’re easy! But once you’ve done those and feel ready to progress, I have a playlists of non postpartum core/Ab workouts that are more challenging! 🤍
My back always pops when I do the leg lifts. I feel like I’m getting old 😂
Lol! Strengthening your core will help strengthen your back, too!❤
Hi Lauren, I'm loving this plan and have been doing it for 2 months. I just found out that I'm newly pregnant. Can I continue with this plan or would you recommend that I stop?
Hi Hannah! Yes, you can continue to heal your core even during pregnancy! Avoid any movements on your stomach (there aren’t many in this plan) and listen to your body-if something doesn’t feel good, don’t do it. I also have playlists of workouts for each trimester, including core workouts, that you can also start doing!🤍
Hi Lauren, thank you for your videos. I just wanted to ask if i need to do the exercises for 10 minutes every day? Could I repeat them and do for longer time?
Hi! Yes, 10 minutes is sufficient! I would suggest trying to maximize your time in the first workout so you don’t need to repeat it… if you become overly fatigued, that’s when compensations can happen.
Should we be feeling sore after doing these? I’m trying to make sure I’m engaging my muscles properly.
You may or may not feel sore. These are more gentle movements (especially in the first half of this series) to focus on healing and proper technique; soreness is not an indicator of success!
I'm on your phase 4 of ab program now. Going to start these mommy pooch workouts after I'm done.
I have a Q. I can feel my upper ab muscles coming through. but my lower belly still is flabby. Any specific workouts for that or are these sufficient? I try to get in 10k steps daily , cardio/strength train 4x a week, and watch my calorie intake. Losing weight ( nearly 6 months pp) but lower belly is frustrating
I hear you. Stay the course! I’m 10 months PP and still working on my core function, fat loss, etc. It takes time and consistency! Keep going and you’ll continue to makes progress… it may be small and slow but that’s the sustainable way to achieve lasting results!❤️
Is it normal to still feel some separation at this point? I've done all the exercises in order for the prescribed amount of time or until I've felt ready to move forward without having to modify but I do still have a slight ab separation.
Hi Jess! Yes, it is normal, and more than likely it will take a few months and can even take a year or so… Depending on the severity of your DR, genetics, how you move/breathe in daily life activities, and breastfeeding can also affect how quickly DR heals. However, any progress is good, so keep going! I am 13 months PP currently and have made great progress but am still working to heal. But that is pretty normal for me, especially bc I have a classical and horizontal C section incision on my uterus (long story lol) and I am still breastfeeding. My best advice is to do my Postpartum Ab Program if you haven’t already! It is similar to this one and will keep you on the trajectory to healing and rebuilding your core. 🤍
i started doing for beginners last few months ago but I stopped do I have to start from workout numbr 1?
You can pick up where you left off, but if you find it too challenging or you can’t maintain proper form, then go back a workouts or 2!
Is this safe for diastasis recti?
Yes; make sure to do the workouts in order because they build on each other and allow you to progress/heal gradually!
Guuurrllll 😅I love you and thank you for these exercises!! ❤❤❤ getting right and tight again after baby #2😊💜💜
Aw thank you! So glad you’re enjoying the workouts! ❤❤
