That’s my problem too! I can’t go through a single day without having to lift something heavy. At this rate, I’ll never heal my gap! I appreciate you sending the link! Short workouts are what I need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920465 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 19:21:06 +0000 Bmaja 2920465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this topic. I found Bodyfit by Amy. She has a ton of free videos on YouTube that worked for me. I never studied her qualifications... but she said some things my mom’s PT said about sitting up... so I was hooked. Ha. They are short workouts, she is super postive, and has a schedule in instagram that was do able. Now if I wasn’t so stupid to try and lift and move a playset. Good luck! Hopefully this link takes you to postnatal videos.</p> <p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMHMyl3oeyh1EjXr_VvHH_TtMyhT2jLIo" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMHMyl3oeyh1EjXr_VvHH_TtMyhT2jLIo</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920163 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 19:48:47 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2920163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiemuller88 thank you! I have a reminder that pops up every week :silly: . Maybe this week!</p> <p>@shantuck oh no! I am happy to hear you liked it, I just need to dedicate the time and get it done. This belly deserves some rehab. Hope you are on the mend and get back into the program. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920152 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 07:56:15 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2920152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: ouch!! Sorry about your toes! Hope they heal quickly. Thanks for sharing your experience with the program. I’m going to check it out! </p> <p>@MrsSRS: Thank you! I’ll look into this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920139 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 14:44:07 +0000 MrsSRS 2920139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a book called Lose Your Mummy Tummy which has great exercises for diastasis recti too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920128 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 21:48:38 +0000 Shantuck 2920128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MACSUNSHINE: I finished 9 weeks of the Nancy Anderson ab rehab program and then on 10/1 while doing a video in my basement I stubbed my toes on a piece of furniture and ended up with 2 broken toes. :bummed: I did like the program and have noticed some improvement but I do have another 3 weeks to go. PSA: don’t work out barefoot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920091 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 13:26:30 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2920091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MACSUNSHINE: yes! Thank you so much for sharing! I just looked at the program overview, and it’s definitely something I am interested in. </p> <p>I hope you find the time and energy to focus on yourself! I have a hard time fitting “me time” in, but this program seems super manageable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920076 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 05:00:43 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2920076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I purchased Nancy Anderson’s ab rehab but have not done the full 12 weeks.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nancyandersonfit.com/products/12-week-post-pregnancy-ab-rehab-course-coaching-included" rel="nofollow">https://www.nancyandersonfit.com/products/12-week-post-pregnancy-ab-rehab-course-coaching-included</a></p> <p>I have been impressed with the results I have seen and heard about. Lynzy2020 should get you 20% off if you decide to try it. Maybe now I can refocus on it.</p> <p>Give yourself grace, healthy babies and mamas are most important. I do think reengaging your core is so important for overall health. You will get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920075 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 04:58:29 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2920075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few people I have known have done the Nancy Anderson ab rehab and been extremely happy. </p> <p><a href="https://www.nancyandersonfit.com/products/12-week-post-pregnancy-ab-rehab-course-coaching-included" rel="nofollow">https://www.nancyandersonfit.com/products/12-week-post-pregnancy-ab-rehab-course-coaching-included</a></p> <p>I purchased it but have yet to start it. I think code lynzy2020 should get you 20% off. I did the evaluation part but really need to focus and the first few weeks are all breathing. Maybe this will be the kick I need to focus on me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920061 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:27:40 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2920061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennlin821: wow! That’s quite a difference. I will definitely look into dermarolling. </p> <p>I am not working with a PT. I have been following a routine from EveryMother. It has helped a lot, but I feel like my progress has definitely plateaued the past few months. </p> <p>Thank you. I keep telling myself the same thing, but it’s so hard to be positive when I hate what I see in the mirror. I know I should be proud of my body for giving me healthy babies, and I am, I just want to do everything I can to help it fully heal I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920056 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 12:51:16 +0000 jennlin821 2920056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this video on YouTube, about dermarolling - looks like she had a great experience with it. </p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/ChG8aSvEU6A" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/ChG8aSvEU6A</a></p> <p>As far as the DR - are you working with a physical therapist? </p> <p>It’s only been 10 months - give your body some time and forgiveness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loose-belly-skin-and-diastasis-recti#post-2920048 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 10:53:36 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2920048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had twins 10 months ago, and I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I have loose skin around my belly button. I know it’s probably here to stay, but I was wondering if anyone had any results with skin firming lotion or cream. There are a ton on the market, and I am curious to see if anyone has something they recommend. I know there is no miracle cream out there, but any little bit of change would help. </p> <p>I am having a really hard time accepting my new tummy. I also have pretty bad diastasis recti. My gap was originally 6 fingers, and I have gotten it down to 3. I feel like it’s not going to close all the way, even though I do 10 minutes a day, of PT, to help it. Anyone else successfully close such a large gap without surgery? </p>
