Rectis Diastasis
After delivering my biggest baby out of 3 and carrying him transversely, I have developed a medical condition referred to as rectis diastatsis. This simply means separation of your "6 pack muscles." I am coming up on 4 months postpartum and still feel those muscles nag and pull during some exercises. A tall-tale sign that I need to stop moving in that particular way and move into an exercise that will help your tummy heal.
Just a couple quick facts for you... nearly 2/3 of women deal with rectis diastasis! And, it is very common in men and children as well. So, these exercises are applicable for everyone!
