Transverse Abdominis Exercises for After Pregnancy

So if you've ever had a baby, whether it be six months ago or six years ago, I want you to listen to this because a lot of distendedbellies or mommy bellies or muffin tops or whatever ugly word you have for it comes from us doing just traditional core exercises like crunches but not knowing how to cue our transverse abdominis, which is so undercued and overlooked.

 

But it is one of the most important muscles in getting your body back, or your belly back, after having a baby. Basically, your transverse abdominis, it's like a corset. It’s your innermost core muscle and it kind of pulls everything in. But we don't know how to activate it during exercise.

 

Now, we activate the TA, or transverse abdominis, unknowingly when we pick up a car seat or step off a curb. But I want to teach you how to do it in everyday exercise so that you get basically more bang for your buck. You'll get more out of every ab or core exercise that you do.
