Trying to get rid of the Mommy belly

[infomama]

There are some fantastic core poses in yoga. Try plank and boat (then move from boat to low boat and back). Also put a block between your feet while lying on your back and crunch up to grab it with your hands. Then continue by passing it back and forth from your hands to your feet. You'll feel the burn in no time. Bicycle while in a low crunch is great, too.

I'm pretty sure I don't have diastasis - I had a nearly flat belly when nursing (I'm still nursing but much less than before). The pooch seems to be just that - a pooch!

yes, sounds great! I've been offline over the past couple of days, but trying to still keep up w/ working out when I can. I tried a kickboxing circuit class over the weekend and it kicked my butt. I did learn some better techniques in ab work.

Did you do the check? You can have a diastasis without a bulge when standing. It would be good to check before starting a program, particularly a lot of ab work Hopefully you don't have one, but just in case, I would follow the self check tips on the Tupler site.
