Busting the Myth: The Truth About Planks After Pregnancy
from The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast · host Peter Lap
Send us Fan MailFrom the vault;This week I talk about the importance of doing plank exercises if you're working on your postpartum recoveryToo 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.
