I had four babies too! After baby number 3 I did physical therapy four diocesis recti. I went to a physical therapy office that had a women's health clinic, not as common... It was very helpful!
Thank you. These exercises greatly reduced my back pain. This is my second post partum doing these exercises with you. My second baby is 4 months old. I carried my babies in the front during pregnancy. I had a vaginal and unmedicated labor and delivery. Lots of healing left go. 😊
I’m so happy I found these exercises! My upper belly has been pooching out after 4 babies and nothing has seemed to target that area quite like this. I’ve been doing some of your other PP Pilates and DR workouts as well! Thank you Jessica!
I’ve never been pregnant nor have given birth, but I suddenly have a protruding upper abdomen and I’m not sure why, but these exercises seem so good and helpful so I’ll try them! ❤
Thank you. This is a very good public service that you are providing. This video demonstrates six different exercises. The title is "10-minute Daily exercises...", but offers no suggestion of a number of reps for each exercise. So, although it seems like it would be a bit hurried, dividing 6 into 10, would have us doing each exercise for however many reps (which wouldn't be many) we can do in about a minute and a half in order to complete the entire routine. Or perhaps we are to choose any one (or combination) of these to do continuously for 10 minutes? For anyone happening to see this comment on the day that I'm posting it (1/1/25), Happy New Year and blessings to you and yours!
If I’m not mistaken, you’re just supposed to do this video once a day, that’s why she doesn’t tell you how many times. You just follow along with her and if you want to do more you just restart the video or continue doing the moves one more round all the way through. That’s how her 28 day diastasis recti video works, too, so I’m assuming this one does as well!
@@jamiehackney5619 Thank you so much for your kind reply. So, it really is pretty much the same number of reps and at the pace that she demonstrates here in this video. Just curious, is the 28-day course more intense than this one, or should we expect to have our condition markedly improved with this one in 28 days, as well? Of course, everyone will likely be different according to the extent of their condition.
@@lousifei the 28 day challenge is just the same video over and over again, for the full 28 days! It’s why she makes the video so short, you aren’t doing too much to where you can’t repeat the exercises daily. It’s very well thought out/balanced. I’m only on day 5 of the challenge and already feeling a huge difference!
Glad I found your video. I never knew about DR until 2 years ago and 4 babies my last ones been twins. I was 5 fingers gap and now I’m a 2 fingers gap. Never knew about an upper 😖😖 I was wondering my upper abdomen still looks big 😖 I funny how Dr’s don’t addressed the problem 😞 so grateful for RUclips and ppl that do care. Thank you 🙏🏼
i have been working on my ab separation and it worked BUT i still had that upper bulge and felt defeated until i saw this video and had no clue that what i had issues on was upper and now I'm happy and will start TODAY Nov 24th
Awesome. I've managed to pretty much close my lower DR, but made no progress on the upper. This will help a lot. I dont know if you take requests, but i would love to see a baby wearing DR video (if thats even possible).
How often do we do these excerises, and do we do the whole thing just once or repeat it a number of times. I have started doing it, cant wait for my DR to heal and for my tummy to go in. Thank you for all your lovely videos appreciate it ❤
Just a quick observation after having tried exercises 2 and 3. You'll be much more able to maintain that relaxed cheerful smile shown in the video if, like her, you are not an older 30+ pounds overweight person (I'm a man with no pregnancy issues). Otherwise, for exercise 2 all you will be able to focus on is the strain on your supporting shoulder, and for exercise 3 the strain on your supporting thigh. Obviously, we'll need to incorporate other overall strength building exercises for the whole body and make a concerted effort to lose weight in order to make those two exercises more easily doable, so it's all good.
The third exercise, the lunge, doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything for my core muscles? I don’t feel anything in that area when doing it. I feel my legs engaging, but nothing in my core at all. Am I doing it wrong?
Maybe a dumb question, but I’ve closed my DR everywhere except RIGHT at my belly button. I still have a 3 finger gap there 😭 is that normal? Is there anything that I can do to target this area?
Not a dumb question at all! It is usually largest at the belly button so it can be last part to heal. However, if it's more like a hole at your belly button I wonder if it's an umbilical hernia? Exercises can sometimes help a hernia, but not always fully heal it (like me).
Hi Jessica 18 years up giving birth to my second daughter, I have sagging belly and I feel the muscles are separated and I’m working out hard from past three years targeting belly. No doubt the size of the belly is reduced but it is still sagging. I would like to know which of your videos will help out to make my tummy flat.
Mam my belly is big in middle area belly button can i do these excercise? after 3 year of postpartum it will work ? How i identify its upper dr or lower dr
If it's at the belly button or lower then you can do these exercises ruclips.net/video/BQE7WB6UTew/видео.html It's not too late at 3 years postpartum, but may take more time to heal compared to if you started at 6 weeks postpartum 💞
I've been looking upper DR exercises! Thank you! My youngest is 14 years old, but I still have a bit of a bulge at the top only. Will this work for me also?
Can we do this while pregnant? I am pregnant with my second and it’s like my DR has come back after healing it from my first pregnancy… I don’t know what’s going on ):
I’m the same and would like to know this too. The exercises look safe enough as nothing is on the back or front (in positions that would create ‘doming’ .
Took me a few days of doing this daily along with her 28 day challenge diastasis recti healing video to finally feel it in my upper core when I do this work out. Still feel a major burn in my legs though 😂 I’m very out of shape ! But I will say, it’s the proper breathing that makes the exercise work and it’s so hard to get it all correct, but each day I’m getting better at it!
@@80beck I’m not gonna lie, I modified the lunge on my own for my workout last night and I still felt the benefits of the workout with less leg burning so I highly recommend that! I just raised my lunge way higher
She says in the video that if you don’t have a band, repeat the first three exercises. The other exercises require a band, there’s no alternative for the band.
@ you don’t need the number or reps or time because all you have to do is follow along with her one more time through. Instead of showing you the move once and telling you how many times to do it, she’s doing the number of reps WITH you. And you do the video once a day.
Yes, you can do this before bed or whenever you can fit it into your schedule. It doesn't have to be on an empty stomach although you may want to wait a short while after a meal :)
Thank you!! I have had this for 4 babies and no one addresses the upper DR!!
I had four babies too! After baby number 3 I did physical therapy four diocesis recti. I went to a physical therapy office that had a women's health clinic, not as common... It was very helpful!

Would love more routines for upper DR like this! This is the first I ever found on YT. Thank you!

If the exercise don’t help check your gut and liver health might be hormonal

,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…..
When doing the exercises - are we lifting up pelvic floor at the same time as exhale?

No doubt the size of the belly is reduced but it is still sagging. I would like to know which of your videos will help out to make my tummy flat.
Which resistance band is suitable for beginners, dear?
Can these be done while pregnant ?

No

Hello I have a question, that When do we need to start exercise after c section ?
Thankyou 😊
Gosh, I'm so fat I can't feel any of these! Also, that side plank KILLS my weak-ass hips. Any mods on that that are gentler on weak hips?
What would you recommend for lower DR? Thank you❤
Can we do this while pregnant? I am pregnant with my second and it’s like my DR has come back after healing it from my first pregnancy… I don’t know what’s going on ):
I’m the same and would like to know this too. The exercises look safe enough as nothing is on the back or front (in positions that would create ‘doming’ .
Any modification if we cant hold side plank position?
Hi, when inhaling should I release my core and breath into the belly?
No, she said to tighten and squeeze the core while exhaling in other DR videos. Doing the inhale 360 breath through back and side ribs
What I'f someone has both upper and lower diastasis recti ,can they do this?
Will it reduce upper belly?
How many reps?
Please make video to reduce side fat.
It's not possible to "spot treat" fat. Your genetics will determine where you lose weight from first and last.
Does it works mam
How can we know if we have diastasis?
Just started and I don’t think I’m doing the lunges right. I feel it more in my legs than my stomach. Is that normal?
Took me a few days of doing this daily along with her 28 day challenge diastasis recti healing video to finally feel it in my upper core when I do this work out. Still feel a major burn in my legs though 😂 I’m very out of shape ! But I will say, it’s the proper breathing that makes the exercise work and it’s so hard to get it all correct, but each day I’m getting better at it!
@ that’s so good to hear! I’m gonna check out the other video also. I’ll make sure I stick with it then

I don't want to do while watching vedio. And i do according to my convenient of time
@ then this video is not for you probably
Are you sitting on a block or something? If so. Could you please explain.
Can we do it before go to bed??
Yes, you can do this before bed or whenever you can fit it into your schedule. It doesn't have to be on an empty stomach although you may want to wait a short while after a meal :)
@@PregnancyandPostpartumTV thanku mam. You are great.
No its done after birth
