In the last year I’ve extensively reviewed the Fit2B Studio online fitness site as well as The Tummy Team’s online core rehab program. If you’ve been considering whether to try them out, now is the time. (This post may contain affiliate links. Thanks for your support.)
Leaking urine, lower back pain, protruding tummy and trouble performing normal daily activities is not normal, even after having babies. But these symptoms need not be permanent. These are signs of a condition called diastasis recti also known as an abdominal separation. (Men can also suffer from diastasis recti but it is commonly seen in pregnant and post partum women). Kelly Dean and her associates at The Tummy Team have created two online programs to provide a road map to the journey from healing for those of us who want to be strong enough to have more children or just be able to lives our lives free of pain and discomfort.
They offer splints to help you stabilize your core during the healing process. (Think of it like a cast or brace for a broken bone or sprained muscle; a temporary measure to speed up the healing process leading to future strength and wholeness). You can also schedule Skype sessions for a more personalized experience.
Fit2B Studio, while complementary to the rehabilitation offered by the Tummy Team is a different animal altogether. Founder Bethany Learn focuses on fitness. Much of what has been taught regarding abdominal fitness in the past can actually be counterproductive for someone with an abdominal separation. Bethany philosophy of slowly building strength rather than ripping, shredding or beating your body into submission is a departure from the focus of much of the current fitness trends in the industry.
Does that mean that the workouts aren’t intense? Nope. With levels starting from post-partum and diastasis recti recovery up to challenging workouts that will keep you sweating she truly does have it all. But the best part is that it is virtually all tummy safe. More than 70 workouts of varying lengths and difficulties so that you never get bored and can always find something for wherever you are in your fitness journey.
For those who need abdominal rehab, this is a great next step after The Tummy Team, or if you don’t have a diastasis recti or hope to prevent one in the future), this is a great place to start.
