Recently, my wife and I had the privilege of welcoming our fourth child into our home! Of course, with a newborn comes incredible joy, incredible fatigue, and an incredible amount of love!

My wife is now six weeks postpartum and ridiculously excited to resume working out again (even “ridiculously excited” it is somewhat of an understatement in her case! Let’s say she’s incredibly anxious to get her pre-baby body back!).

However, the physical therapist in me says that we need to check a few things before she jumps back in to working out full-time. The most important of which after having a baby is diastasis recti.

Today on Tone and Tighten I wanted to quickly discuss what is a diastasis recti, why it’s important to know whether or not you have one, and show you a simple test of how to check yours. Here we go!…

Looking for a killer burn to sculpt and define your abdomen? Well it’s time you look… a little lower!

Your lower abdominal muscles slenderize your waist, minimize the “muffin top” and “love handles”, and add a “pop” to your stomach that definitely begs to be noticed. Unfortunately, they’re also the hardest to train. So many ab exercises we do focus primarily on the upper abs that often they over-power the lower abs and make it more difficult to train them effectively. Well not any more! Today I’m sharing 5 of my favorite exercises that target, train, and otherwise sculpt the lower abdomen. Try them out – I promise you won’t be disappointed!…

Looking for amazing ab definition? Tried workouts in the past that fell short of your goals? Looking to tone your abs and slim your waist but aren’t too sure how to do it? You might be missing the mark in your workouts by aiming a little too high. The key to a slimmer, more sculpted midsection is focusing your efforts on the hardest part of your abs to train – the lower abdominals. The lower part of your rectus abdominis is typically the hardest to train because there are only certain movements that effectively activate it; otherwise the upper part of your abs takes over (up around your ribs). This results in great strength and tone a little higher, but the lower part can stay a little “poochy”… and that’s no bueno. Today on Tone-and-Tighten.com I’m sharing with you 5 of my best workouts to sculpt your lower abs. You’ll tone and tighten things up resulting in a slimmer, sexier midsection!
