It all depends on your current fitness routine and goals. If you re doing strength training workouts with good form, you ARE training your abs and core in every workout. But I suggest adding this prenatal core workout to your workout routine 2-3 days a week during the first and second trimesters. ЁЯСЙA well-rounded fitness plan will include a variety of workouts.

But it really depends on how severe your DR is and how much tension you generate across your gap with your deep Transverse Ab muscles. You want to avoid any exercises that cause coning or doming in the midsection. That said, if you have DR I highly suggest this ЁЯСЙЁЯП╝ Diastasis Recti Ab Workout -- https://youtu.be/u4z7sBiGFA8 _________________________________________________________ ЁЯМЯ TRY MORE of My Most Popular PREGNANCY WORKOUTS on YouTube: тЦ║ 30-Minute LOW IMPACT HIIT Workout (First and Second Trimester Prenatal HIIT Workout) - https://youtu.be/x9DcwE63eLA тЦ║ 30-Minute Full Body Pregnancy Strength Workout - https://youtu.be/zH4O4aA4wA8 тЦ║ 30-Minute Pregnancy Dumbbell Arm Workout - https://youtu.be/eWp3jlIn5Rc тЦ║ 30-Minute Pregnancy Leg Workout - https://youtu.be/Nw14JlGEeBs тЦ║ 15-Minute Prenatal Barre - https://youtu.be/r55Y72xVTuM тЦ║15-Minute Low Impact Pregnancy HIIT Cardio -- https://youtu.be/7xC4DpzxuqM _________________________________________________________ ЁЯЪиSUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL -- https://bit.ly/NMLYoutubeSubscribe тЦ║SUBSCRIBE TO MY EMAIL NEWSLETTER: Get all of my full length workout videos in your email inbox, and all my insider details (like my favorite athletic gear and more)! https://www.nourishmovelove.com/subscribe тЦ║ Get my FREE 14-DAY + 30-DAY WORKOUT CHALLENGES: https://www.nourishmovelove.com/category/workouts/move-blog/workout-calendars/ тЦ║FOLLOW On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishmovelove www.nourishmovelove.com
