  • Should Situps Hurt 20 Months After a C-section?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    Hi, I had a C-section 20 months ago and about three months ago I tried doing sit ups for the first time. It really hurt around the incision area. I know it's supposed to hurt because you're doing sit ups and working your stomach muscles, but it hurts really bad and I was wondering if this is normal.

    I never thought it would take more than a year to start back up doing sit ups. Any information on this would be helpful.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Abs Need Help After C-Sections

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    The mother's apron! Good name for it! Ha! I call it a fanny pack! I so much want to get rid of this without surgery. Can anyone help? I had 2 c-sections, the last 7 years ago and I do lower abs from Denise Austins video, 3-5 times a week.

  • Can I Get Rid of This ''Mother's Apron''?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    I have a question on toning up your stomach after a c-section. I have had 3 c-sections and I have what I have heard a lot of c-section mothers refer to the 'belly flap'. Below my incision scar is thin but my stomach over the incision is my problem area. I have lost weight and toned up all over my body but nothing seems to get rid of this flap. My stomach actually hangs over the incision scar reminding me of a beer belly that hangs over a belt.
