standing core exercises for Diastasis Recti
Here is another STANDING diastasis recti, or “mom pouch” workout. This time we’re using a five pound kettlebell. I wasn’t expecting to get so many questions about the weighted pilates ring from my last video, nor was I expecting them to be so difficult to find!
I hope this kettlebell provides a better alternative for you guys! As always I post these workouts not just to lose belly fat or to flatten your tummy postpartum (even though that’s great!). I post these workouts because having a weakened core postpartum can cause so many other problems such as lower back pain, pelvic floor pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and even incontinence.
Even if you’re not postpartum or if you are postpartum and you’re not having any issues in your healing journey, these exercises are still really beneficial when it comes to working your tranverse abdominis muscles and your pelvic floor!

Diastasis Recti, often referred to as the 'mom pouch', affects many postpartum individuals and can lead to a range of physical challenges. Core strengthening is essential not only for aesthetic reasons but for overall health and function. Standing exercises are particularly beneficial as they engage the core while minimizing strain on the back. By incorporating tools like a kettlebell, you can intensify your workouts and effectively target the transverse abdominis, which plays a significant role in stabilizing the pelvis and spine. It's important to approach these workouts mindfully, ensuring proper form to maximize benefits and minimize the risk of further injury. Additionally, understanding your body and its unique healing journey is crucial. Many women find that integrating these standing core exercises into their routine not only helps in addressing the 'mom pouch' but also dramatically improves daily functional movements, making them feel stronger and more confident. If you're looking for a routine that supports your postpartum recovery while also being effective and easily adaptable, these standing exercises are worth incorporating into your weekly fitness plan. Always consult with a healthcare provider or a physical therapist to ensure that these exercises are suitable for your individual needs.
