Have you learn that you shouldn’t EVER do crunches postpartum? Sometimes blog sites can increase the fear of crunches when they make statements such as the one above.
Crunches and other typical harder core exercises done correctly and when you are ready for them postpartum can be safe for you.
Mums just need to make sure that they have progressed and prepared their postpartum body correctly.
If you adequately build your exercise post-birth, then the harder and more demanding exercises will not add stress to the core and pelvic floor muscles, and mums should see the benefits for their hard work.

Remember to team the exercises with our complete pre and postnatal online programs. Please comment if you have any questions.
