10-Minute Diastasis Recti Challenge (#8) | Postpartum Abs
This 10-Minute Beginner Ab Workout focuses on building (or rebuilding) core strength. 9 core strengthening exercises that target the deep transverse abdominals, lower abs, and pelvic floor muscles. We ll use a pilates ball -- one of my favorite tools to help make the mind-muscle connection necessary for beginners looking to build foundational core strength. If you don t have a pilates ball, you can sub a throw pillow or kids s squishy ball! đšSUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL for more FREE workouts: https://bit.ly/NMLYoutubeSubscribe đ Become a member of Team NML (for exclusive workouts, community + accountability): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIiI9tAbgvSPPL_50gefFtw/join âș This is WORKOUT EIGHT of our Diastasis Recti Workout Challenge!
