I spoke about this topics last summer, but as bikini season has drifted upon us again, I find myself answer this question a lot!
Today's topic will be on eliminating a C-Section Pooch.
My online client's and I have been focusing on ab workouts this week. Specifically those who have struggled with post C-Section pooches, shelves, pouches, and flab. Ha!
(I've heard it called all of those things.)
But I wanted to share the basic steps I go through when working with someone who struggles with this issue.
So here are some basic moves and a quick little tip how to engage the lower pelvis more effectively..
You will need a ball, and a small mini-band. I purchased mine from www.power-systems.com
Make sure to have a mat or soft cushion for under your tush. Start out slowly only completing a 5-8 reps of each movement before resting.
If you feel it in your lower back or neck, find a small support to place under your upper back..such as leaning against a couch or chair to support your neck. Also make sure not to clench your jaw and focus on deep breaths through your ribs and down your back. Fill the diaphragm with air....in and out.

And here are some self-massage techniques to diminish the scar tissue around the incision that would be causing this extra pooch. I used my kiddo's playground ball. Just steal it while they are napping or doing other things. ha! Otherwise, my son thinks its time to play catch and tackle football. This massage position is not a good one to be tackled in! Those of you with boys, understand.
I would recommend completing the exercises in the first video 2-3 times a week.
And the gut smashing/massage techniques several times a day if you wish or have time.
