Hi Andrea
Thank you for your amazing web! I gave birth to twins 7 weeks ago and now I have found out that my abdominal muscles are split even though I had a really strong core before pregnancy (fortunaley I haven't had time to workout so far since the twins are really time consuming lol). I really want to get my belly back! I've learned that I really need to do the right excersices to fix this - can you recommend some for me to do at home as I can't always go to my box.

Thank you!

I don't know if there are specific exercises to fix it, but I know you need to avoid all ab work that requires a curling up motion, like sit ups, toes to bar, knees to elbows and hollow rocks. Core work you can do are planks and push ups, overhead squats, press and push press. These require mid line stabilization but won't make the separation worse.

thank you Andrea! I guess I will just do some really easy ab workout that require only "squeezing" the belly in.. hopefully it will go back to normal soon
