Are You Ready to Return to Exercise?
Picture
Where should I start with exercises?
While you may be looking in the mirror and want to address  the outside appearance,
​
It's best to start with how you FEEL on the inside.
  • Do you have back, neck or pelvic pain?
  • Do you have a heavy feeling in the pelvic floor at the end of the day?
  • Do you have bladder leaking with cough, sneeze, laugh, lifting?
  • Do you DRA-abdominal muscle separation?
  • Do you start to exercise and make any of these things worse?

When you start with the deep core muscles ie abdominals, back and pelvic floor first you will build strength, stability and stamina and reduce pain and fatigue

Are planks and sit ups the best exercises to start with?
While those are abdominal exercises, they may not be the best exercises to start with because they can make DRA and pelvic floor symptoms worse.

How do I know if I am ready for more strenuous exercise?
If the exercises increases pain, increases pelvic floor symptoms or the size of DRA, then it's too strenuous for you.
