[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait- so sit-ups are a no-no, but planks are a good idea starting at 6 months? Is there consensus on this? Why doesn't anyone speak about this?[/quote] PP at 14:22 here. Yes, there is consensus. You will see that every system such as the Tupler that has been specifically adopted to addressing diastasis rectii avoids sit ups. If you want to test it out for yourself, do a sit up right now and pay attention to the outward pressure that the motion places on your abs. Now, roll over and do a plank - you see how you have to suck your abs IN to hold the position? That inward pressure is what closes the gap by strengthening your abs in that inward direction. But first and foremost, before you start doing planks, you need to rest those abs and give them a break from the constant pressure that your pregnancy has been exerting on them.[/quote]
