The Mommy Tummy Fix – Postpartum Abs Workout Program

April 15, 2019

The most comprehensive postpartum abs workout program available! An abdominal workout progression, healthy eating plan, and at-home cardio guide designed to help you lose weight and tone and flatten your stomach. Every workout is also diastasis-recti friendly.

My wife is AMAZING. She has always loved to be fit and active and has worked incredibly hard to “bounce back” to pre-pregnancy shape after having each of our four children.

Personal fitness has always been important to her and she has always carried a certain air of confidence about her body image.

That all changed after she had our fourth child.

With each subsequent pregnancy she found it a little harder to “bounce back” afterwards.

Where the pounds noticeably melted away after our first was born, it took a lot more work and yielded much slower results after our fourth (I’m sure many of you can relate).

There are two primary reasons behind this – 1) it’s typically harder to recover from subsequent pregnancies and 2) she was a little older each time.

Sure this is normal and even expected, but she didn’t see it that way.

“Why have I stalled out in losing weight?”
“How come my stomach still looks like this?”
“What am I doing wrong?”

Gone was the self-esteem and body confidence I was used to seeing. It had somehow been replaced by self-doubt, fear, and negative body image.

It was at this time that she humbly came to me and said…

“I’m ready for you to put me back together.”…

One of the most common questions that I get asked here on Tone and Tighten is “how can I get my stomach back to normal following pregnancy.”

Many women come to me looking to get rid of the “mommy tummy” (their phrase, not mine) after giving birth. In fact – did you know that’s the whole reason I started Tone-and-Tighten.com? (Check out the “ABOUT JARED” tab for the whole story).

Now – there are a TON of ways you can tone and strengthen your abs. After having a baby, I know this can be a huge issue. Your stomach has been in an all-out war for the last nine months and the after-effects can leave your stomach… well… “different” than what you may be used to.

I deal daily with women looking to recover their abs after pregnancy, either in my gym or as clients. I dare say the majority of them are going about it the wrong way.

They spend all this time doing millions of sit ups and crunches and then come to me wondering why they’re not seeing results and why their back is hurting.

Here’s the secret – in order to see abdominal workout results postpartum you HAVE to be doing the RIGHT exercises the RIGHT way. You actually need to STOP doing sit ups and crunches and start spending your time with better exercises that will yield the results you’re after.

Today I wanted to share with you my go-to post-pregnancy ab workout. This is a 20-minute ab routine you can do at home that was designed specifically to tone and strengthen your abdominal muscles after pregnancy. These exercises are even diastasis-recti friendly (a condition we’ve rehabbed with my wife 4 times now)!

So let’s get to work! …
