Abdominal-Exercises-on-ball

Simple post-natal abdominal crunch

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Slowly lift only your head off the floor, pulling your abs towards your spine and exhaling as you do so.

At certain times during the day (make a regular time when you are doing something like sitting in a chair or in the car) contract your abdominals in towards your spine for two seconds and then release. Do this at least 20 times a day every day, and soon you will begin to feel your abdominals getting stronger.

How to check if you’re ready for exercise

Lie on your back with your head on the floor or bed. Place your hands behind your neck and slowly lift your head toward the ceiling. Holding that position, place a finger just above the belly button and press down gently. You will feel a gap in between the muscles; now see how many fingers (if any) you can get into the space between the abdominal muscles. This is your gap – if it is one finger then you may do all the exercises - if it is two or more you need to be really careful. With a two or more finger gap you can try the exercise above whilst holding on to your abdomen with your hands. Place your right hand on the left side of your tummy area and your left hand on the right side with your arms crossed over one another, slowly do the above exercise whilst holding your abdominal muscles as you lift your head.
