Dr. Jared Beckstrand, DPT created the Mommy Tummy Fix program with his wife Camille. His program includes the best exercises to flatten your stomach, eliminate mummy tummy, and heal diastasis recti at home!

No matter if you call it a "mommy pooch", "mommy pouch", "mommy tummy", or "mummy tummy" - this is a great workout to safely and effectively tone and strengthen you core after having a baby.

==========================================
This workout is actually PHASE 1 of an entire 12 phase workout program that I have put together to flatten your “mommy tummy“ and heal diastasis recti. This is the same workout progression that got my wife her incredible results and the same program that has helped hundreds of my patients increase core strength and heal their abdominal separation.

What is Mummy Tummy?
“Mommy tummy“, “mom pooch“, “mom belly“ and “mummy tummy“ are all different phrases referring to the same common issue. This is that extra 10–15 residual pounds that tends to hang out around a woman’s midsection after giving birth. Oftentimes this is due to increased fat in this area, core muscle weakness, and/or abdominal separation (known as diastasis recti).

How To Heal Mummy Tummy
When we talk about healing mommy tummy, it's crucial that we mention one key factor - it's IMPOSSIBLE to spot-treat fat. That means that you can't do one exercise and expect to lose fat in one specific area. For example: doing lots of ab exercises won't help to eliminate fat in your stomach. It will definitely help to tone and strengthen your muscles in this area, but you'll never be able to tell if they're hidden under a layer of abdominal fat.

Your approach to healing your mommy pooch must be threefold:
1) The RIGHT core exercises with a regular progression.
2) Increase your daily activity.
3) Clean up your eating.

You have to not only tone your stomach through the proper core exercises, but you have to supplement that with weight loss/fat burn (eating clean and regular cardio activity in the right heart rate zone - I recommend LISS).

WHAT ARE THE BEST POSTPARTUM AB EXERCISES?
When we talk about core strength and abs exercises we often think sit ups, crunches, and planks. These are highly effective exercises at activating one very specific abdominal muscle (the rectus abdominis), but NOT what you should be doing after pregnancy... especially if you have a diastasis recti condition.

The BEST postpartum ab exercises are those that activate the transverse abdominis muscle and then progress around this contraction. This is the muscle that you activate to draw your navel in towards your spine. It's the "corset" muscle that helps stabilize your spine and trim down your waistline. The stronger this muscle the tighter it becomes - thereby shrinking your waistline and helping to eliminate "mommy tummy".

The exercises in this video:
1. Abdominal brace
2. Abdominal brace with a march
3. Brace with ball squeeze
4. Bridges
5. Sidelying hip abduction
6. Sidelying hip adduction

The right exercises performed the right way, when combined with the right activity and clean eating, are the fastest way to eliminate "mummy tummy", increase core strength, and help you to accomplish your goals!
