Insanity!!


For the past month I have been teaching the Insanity workout. Haven't heard of it? Go here.
It's hard core and I really wanted my stomach to look better. Here is my before shot

And here is after a month of Insanity:

Yes there is a slight change, but my stomach is still saggy in the front. Miracle cream where are you?

And just for fun, I took a video of my stomach the other night. Remember me telling you I have Diastasis Recti? Well this video shows my intestines moving around under my skin. Also something else that is weird I wanted to point out, my stomach buldges up when I lay down, instead of going flat like it should (and it used to before kids). Odd odd odd.
Enjoy the awesomeness of the human body!

That is fascinating, disturbing & even mildly gross. The whole family watched that video. So many different reactions! LOL I miss you Ashley! You have such an awesome sense of humor.

That's awesome, you can totally see a difference in the tightness of your stomach. Even the muscles on your sides you can tell have gotten stronger.

That video is nuts! It looks like there's a baby in there or something. I can't believe that it moves like that just sitting there. What does your Dr say about it? I had a friend whose stomach was really separated and she had surgery almost a year ago to repair it. Hers was 7 inches apart though.

There is a lot of visible changes going on in that photo. Month 2 will probably have more.

wow. Mine is split, but I have never seen my intestines move like that. It does look like a baby. Crazy. How split are yours?....

I had a baby on September 26th of this year and I also have diastasis recti. I came across your blog while doing a "before and after diastasis recti" image search via Google.

Make sure that your abdominal exercises do NOT include any crunches or sit-ups as these exercises will widen your diastasis, not shrink it. If you haven't seen this already, take a look at the exercise recommendations from Julie Tupler, an RN who specializes in the healing of diastasis recti.

Google "The Tupler Technique"

Good luck!
