Well, hey there, today we're going to be talking about the core, and we're going to go a little bit more in-depth about traditional core work and crunches, bicycle crunches, V-ups, planks, all the things, all things that are really great, but if you have a very weak

0:17.6

core, you're recently postpartum, or you have diastous recti, it cause you issues and the reason this episode was

0:25.4

born like many of the episodes I do is from interactions with you with people on

0:30.9

social media on my deliciously fit and healthy handle on my

0:34.4

make it simple podcast handle just questions or comments or in dealing with

0:39.8

clients and some of the questions and comments they have.

0:43.0

And I realized you may be like me,

0:46.0

where you want to know the why behind being told something.

0:50.0

I'm someone where if you told me to stop at a stoplight and you never told me why I'd be like I'm not stopping I'm going to keep going but if someone when they're teaching me explains you stop at a stoplight because then the car's on the opposite side

1:26.8

about crunches and traditional ab work and having diasties and being recently postpartum or just a week core and why those things can cause you

problems. I posted a post this week where I showed a modification for bicycle crunches and I got a lot of questions on it with people kind of not understanding.

1:47.4

Now the exercise I showed worked very similar muscles but it just didn't create some of the pressure down the center of the

1:53.7

core line which if you have d r that could be beneficial but you could still work

1:58.0

those same muscles then I got an email from someone who just recently bought my

2:02.1

daisasis recti guide and she was asking a couple

2:05.6

questions and one of the things that she pointed out was that she's had a lower stomach that
