RESISTANCE BAND CORE EXERCISES

BEGINNER WORKOUT

It's tough to know where  to start! Safely rebuilding foundational core strength  is key.

How do you safely  get back into  exercise after  having a baby?

A resistance band increases  tension and strengthens  the core. It's a great tool to  help make the mind-muscle connection necessary to  build foundational core  strength.

Why use a resistance  band?

This postnatal ab workout  is safe for Diastasis Recti,  and designed to strengthen  your pelvic floor and rebuild  deep core muscles after  pregnancy.
