  • these moves look great! i'll try em. but i could'nt even walk straight for 2 wks after my c-sections! nothing wrong with waiting till you feel up to it.

  • do not do crunches post surgery. wait until your doctor has felt your abs to make sure they have not separated! or you will end up with a "pooch". if your abs are separated, you need to do an entirely different set of exercises, focusing on your oblique abs. this video isn't appropriate for a week after a c-section! (except for the pelvic tilts, you can do those right away) be careful mamas and you will have plenty of time to get back in shape (c-section mama, myself)

  • I was told NOT to work out at all after my c section , until the Doc gave me the okay at my 6 week post delivery check up !

  • this was helpful for me, thanks!

  • arent CRUNCHES the last exercise you want to do after the surgery, I was told they can cause your ab muscles to build outward causing a perminate pooch... However, I really like the 1st two exercises thoes look safe and easy to build from (Excluding crunches and sit-up of course) Deffinantly ask a doctore before you decide to make the decision to work out your abs***
