The best position to locate your deep abdominal muscles is just inside your pelvic bones; try this: 1. Start lying on your back, legs bent at 90 degrees with feet on the mat. 2. Place two fingers just inside your pelvic bones. As you inhale you should the area inside your pelvic bones is soft. 3. Then as you exhale this area just inside your pelvic bones should become taught or tense. Those are your deep core muscles. For a guided example, perform exercise #1 in this video -- https://youtu.be/u4z7sBiGFA8 âēHow many times a week should I work my abs? I suggest doing a 5-10 minute abs and core workout three times a week. If you re working on healing your core post-baby, I suggest doing this 10 Minute Abs After Baby three times a week -- https://youtu.be/u4z7sBiGFA8 âēđ¤°Is this workout Pregnancy-Friendly?
