I always recommend chatting with your doctor or midwife about resuming exercise postpartum. Every body (and every pregnancy) is so different! I personally started using these 5 resistance band ab exercises around two weeks post-baby. âș What if I feel these moves in my lower back/thighs instead of my abs? If you re feeling ab exercises in your thighs and lower back, that could mean your hip flexors are taking over the work and the moves are too advanced! I would scale back and try the modifications of each of these exercises! âșHow to check for Diastasis Recti at home: https://youtu.be/162FLrLMZWI âș My "babies" are teenagers -- can I still do this workout? YES.
