⭐️FAQ's + TRAINER TIPS:
►How often should I do this workout?
It all depends on your current fitness routine and goals. If you're doing strength training workouts with good form, you ARE training your abs and core in every workout. But I suggest adding this prenatal core workout to your workout routine 2-3 days a week during the first and second trimesters.

►Is this ab workout safe for diastasis recti (abdominal seperation)?
In general, YES. But it really depends on how severe your DR is and how much tension you generate across your gap with your deep Transverse Ab muscles. You want to avoid any exercises that cause coning or doming in the midsection. That said, if you have DR I highly suggest this 👉🏼 Diastasis Recti Ab Workout -- [ Ссылка ]
