[pembie]

All shades of amazing! No other YouTuber doing DR with band. Loving it

[nancyg]

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 thank you 🙏🏼 NML ❤ day #3 and wow I love the band, specially around the waist it really help me with my breathing 😮‍💨 which I have a hard time getting right 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[nicolemeidinger]

This banded episode is my very favorite. I'm six weeks postpartum and I've been doing these since four weeks and have seen amazing improvements. I'm also a fitness instructor so am plugging these into my Barre classes moving forward! It's never too late to recover from pregnancy. Thank you!

[abhinitadas]

Loved the band one today. Have been following your DR exercises and they have been a life saver postpartum. Thank you to your and your team for always bringing us such effective workouts 🎉❤

[jennakinsbursky]

this was great for my progression, loved the band and especially the examples and cues that you used. so helpful!! thank you!!!

[helenngaba]

I’m 5 months postpartum with my second baby and this is the first time I can actually feel like I have had a full meaningful workout, I’m on day 3 of the workout, thank you so much for this 28 day program. Feeling hopeful about getting my flat tummy back 🎉

[mrstmitchell]

just to add to the other comment here- I loved seeing the upcoming videos too! I loved looking ahead to see what was coming and see how they were laid out!

[mollytaylor]

Love these exercises! I have to try them! Your channel along with a custom muscle-building meal plan that I got from Next Level Diet have helped me in my transformation journey big time!

❤❤❤❤❤
Great 10-Minute Diastasis Recti Ab Workout video! Thanks for creating this! We do quick at home workout videos too. Keep up the great work here! 💓💓

[kopilapariyar]

Thank you so much for this workout. I tried so many workouts but was not working on me but i have been doing this workout for 2 weeks now i don't have hanging tummy i mean its healing. I am second time mom . My second baby is 10 months. Finally found effective workout. I don't know how to thank you but trust me wants to thank you from my heart ❤

[feruzahijra]

Done with week 1… bravo…. See you week 2

[nikitarathod]

Loving your videos. ❤ I want to know which are the advanced videos? I have downloaded the 28 days DR program, does that include advanced exercises ?

[mayaparmar]

Love this - doing it later at the gym. I'm not PP or pregnant, just looking to reconnect and strengthen my core and pelvic floor. Can I do this with a small towel instead of a resistance band?

[laughter]

When you mention the advanced versions of these workouts, are they included in the following weeks for the 28 day program or is it a separate workout entirely ? Loving these so far!! Xx

[colleenrafferty]

What is the recommended length of time transitioning from beginner 1, 2, 3 etc? In the videos it says when you feel ready. If we're following the videos 5 times a week, does a week per video seem likely?

[SW-ehex]

Just an fyi for anyone who doesn’t have resistance bands, a pair of tights (pantyhose) works really well too x

[magicworldbyjorg]

<<a cool video keep up the great content... Thank you.

[shoshanab]

I love this channel’s workouts and used them all the time throughout my pregnancy. Are you open to feedback about the use of the premiere feature? I get pretty annoyed by videos that show up on my subscriptions that use the premiere feature. Unfortunately, despite my love of your content, there are now so many videos from your channel that show up as “premieres in X days” in my feed, that I will be unsubscribing to keep my feed limited to videos that I actually am able to watch when I’m loading my feed. Hope you’ll consider changing the frequency of these types of videos in the future!

[btouvon]

I am 5 years postpartum and I have 1 finger gap. I'm looking into getting back in shape and losing the mummy pouch. Will these exercises help? Or can I look for regular exercises not specifically tailored for DR? Will it make things worse? I'm at loss!
