5 Exercises For New Mothers With Abdominal Separation

Start by lying on your right side. Leaving your right knee on the ground for support, push yourself up on your right hand, lift your hips, and extend your left leg until your body is in a straight line. Hold for 30 seconds, and repeat on the left side.

Once you find stability in this position, progress to stacking your feet and lifting your hips without your bottom knee touching the ground. For an extra challenge, lift your top foot and extend your top arm over your left ear. Similar to the knee-down version, hold for 30 seconds and repeat on the opposite side.
