My baby is 5 months now and that lower tummy pooch just wont budge no matter what. I had a normal delivery so i can start light exercise. What actually worked for u all to tone that area?
After my C-section I had to wait for my doctor's okay before any core exercise, so please dont rush. Gentle walks and good food helped me first. The belly takes time to go, be kind to yourself in recovery.
It took me a good few months and thats okay. I started with walks, then light core work once cleared. Breastfeeding and patience helped more than any crash plan.
Once your doctor clears you, gentle postnatal yoga and walking work well. Avoid hard crunches too early, especially with any ab separation. Slow and steady is the way.
Please be gentle with yourself, your body just did something huge. The lower belly was the last to go for me and that is so normal. Dont let anyone rush you, give it time.
