Your Mommy Pooch (‘Diastasis Recti’)
Compromises Your Health Across the Board

When your core is compromised through Diastasis Recti (aka, the ‘Mommy Pooch’), your body and life does not feel amazing.

Most Moms feel dissatisfied with how they look. They struggle with the limitations DR places on their movements. And they believe things are not going to get better … They’ll just have to live with it.

And because DR does not respond to standard full-body workouts (and make things worse), only a specific approach can heal your core and overcome DR.

How DR Works

During pregnancy 66% of women develop Diastasis Recti. This is a gap in between your right and left large abdominal wall muscles. It creates a rounded, protruding belly “pooch.”

It sticks around to haunt us and creates long-term, chronic symptoms, such as:

• Clothes not fitting properly
• Feeling less strong, confident and attractive
• Sexual discomfort and even pain
• Peeing after sneezing or laughing
• Dissatisfaction with the look and performance of your body
• Limitations on movement
• Vulnerability to re-injury.

And much more.

There are a lot of misconceptions and limited info on how to treat Diastasis Recti, as many personal trainers don’t even know what it is or how to work to improve it to truly strengthen the inner core.

Plus women's physiotherapists can be hard to come by and expensive and you don't have the time for weekly apps.  

That leaves moms struggling with what to do to and how to treat Diastasis Recti  properly. Attempting to “get your body back” by planking, crunches, and doing other ab work, thinking that will shrink and flatten my abs when it actually makes the mommy pooch and its symptoms worse. It’s time to heal the inner core to see improvements inside and out!

Without proper technique, you can fail to engage the core properly and continue to stress and pull apart the gap between the sides of the abdominal wall muscles, aggravating your symptoms.

Introducing the Deliciously Fit ‘N Healthy’s Guide
for Overcoming Diastasis Recti and Healing Your Core

The good news: With proper breathing, proper exercises, proper form, and the right support, you can safely and effectively flatten your mommy pooch.

I used these techniques myself, as I developed Diastasis Recti after having my twins, and they changed my life.

Even better, on my journey, I developed a series of short, simple daily workouts that progressively heal your core. I’ve been teaching how to heal Diastasis Recti for years in my other guides. But this material is SO IMPORTANT that I’ve created this specific guide.

• Want to decrease urinary leakage, back pain, or painful sex.
• Feel self-conscious (or don’t have the time) to go to the gym or buy expensive equipment.
• Want to flatten their mommy pooch, gain strength, and build confidence.
• Are open to the possibility they can grow far beyond their limits, even if they don’t feel that way now.
• Want to work out safely despite DR and now know to modify for it.

What You'll Need

2 Resistance loops, one medium and one light resistance and optional is an exercise ball.

"I have been extremely self-conscious of my abdominal area since the birth of my 4th baby. Last summer, I worked so hard to achieve my fitness goals through other popular at-home work out programs, but had the opposite results as the exercises I was doing were only making my diastasis recti worse. I was so discouraged! I was so shocked and excited to see progress!
