Busting the Myth: The Truth About Planks After Pregnancy

Send us a text From the vault; This week I talk about the importance of doing plank exercises if you"re working on your postpartum recovery Too often do I hear "Planks are dangerous to do post-partum" or "avoid doing planks or you"ll make your diastasis worse". This is complete nonsense. Planks are your friend post-partum but you kind of have to know what you"re doing and why you"re doing certain exercises at a certain time. So I discuss things like reverse planks, side planks and front loaded planks and how to do them safely and effectively. I also explain why you will NEVER recover post-partum if you don"t do plank exercises, it just won"t happen! And I talk about the difference between static and dynamic planks and why movement during a plank makes the plank significantly more effective. Reminder; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.
