I just want to say I've been looking for a channel like this. I don't aspire to be a body builder, I just want to fix what's broken and get healthier. Thanks.

started having back pain that just got worse with movement.... doc sent me for physical therapy, and diastasis recti was the PT's diagnosis. She nailed it when I tried to do a "crunch" like movement and the area in the middle of my abdomen bulged out in a line between my sternum and belly button. Sooo-- NO crunches for me, but very similar exercises that are shown in this video. If you ever feel the "bulge".. stop, and reset. This is a great video.

Thank you so much for explaining proper form! So helpful!

This is so me!! When I do situps, it looks like a normal fist coming out, like the movie Alien. Sometimes I can control it with concentrating on using other muscles. I had no idea doing extra exercises to rid myself of this big gut, I was making it worse! I hope these will help get ridof the fist and loose some girth (brooks). I am under 1800 calories a day for an active farmer 6'4" but at 300 lbs, 60 yrs old, ex athlete, you get the idea. Wish me luck

Excellent instruction as always, thanks coach 👍

OMG thank you so much! I've seen other places where they just give you core exercises. + Without the proper form I ended up using my lower back muscles to compensate and hurting my back really badly. I actually had to quit doing Pilates because they stress keep the natural curve in the back while doing core exercises but well my core muscles were so weak after having twins. I just did the elevator exercise for a little bit and now I'm walking around feeling how my core muscles still engaged. It's amazing! Thank you so much!!!

[dayday]

Thank you! I been struggling to figure out the proper way to do the workouts and the elevator explanation was very descriptive and helpful. Making realize I had been doing it wrong, thank you so much

[digitalfly]

Great explanation and very informative. TY !!!

[polewithdorothy]

Great explanation of exercises. Most of them done in Pilates so I would invite people to join local Pilates classes. The only comments I would have is as you push the sides of your tummy into your fingers ensure that you are imprinting spine and not pushing through the diastasis recti area. Also, this exercise is lacking easier options. If you finding it hard please do those exercises with one leg resting on the floor and only work your other leg. Basically, one leg at the time 😊

I just did this for the third time!! It’s really hard for me but I’m going to try it for the next 30 days😅

I've always had the diastasis recti...I'm 65yr old. Athlete in school...military, always active. Never bothered me. No hernia. Is this bad.

[interestingthings]

Thank you so much for this, your first exercise is a game changer for me. I am a man with DI and I suspect it happened because I was doing abdominal exercises without properly being told how to engage my core muscles. Consequently I developed DI and get a bulge whenever I do core. With your muscle engagement tip I can now do abdominal exercise with no bulge. I hope this will eventually lead to an improvement in by DI as my core strengthens. Than you!

I got it by following the directions in “Starting Strength” by Mark Riptoe and his guidelines for the Valsalva maneuver. He describes everything in his book to the extreme degree except for this. He says “in fact, it is a good practice to take the deepest breath you can and hold it before each rep of your heaviest sets”. 52 years of working out wrecked and damaged by following his directions. This is also referred to as the Bible of strength training and Mark the god who wrote it.

[NamuWilliams]

Every other video I've watched cautions against anything with leg lifts but your second exercise recommends them...are they all wrong but you're correct? I'm too old to do it wrong, I won't get a second chance if I do these exercises and it ends up making my diastasis recti worse, lol.

[ivaniusblog]

If you experience a bubble sensation or suspect Diastasis Recti while performing leg raises, you should immediately discontinue the exercise. I recommend focusing on planking or other core activation exercises instead, as these do not involve stretching your muscles. Speaking from personal experience...

[honkhonk]

Can’t the movement you show at 4:11 cause a hernia?

[cathyleposa-petraud]

Awwww, I sure have a looong way to go, before getting to the state of being able to beging this healing! I've got a giant abyss to heal... but thank You for this excellent explanation video 💕💕💕

[upperdecker]

Only thing that has ever worked for me is to do the exact opposite of what everyone says. Full situps, or even decline situps, planks and side planks in a trx with a reach under and pike. Aka strengthen the entire core

[stevesurry]

Can you do the elevator if you have an umbilical hernia in addition to a distasis rectii?
