Does Ab Separation Really Matter?

Welp, here she goes again, rocking the boat.

PSA: THE WIDTH OF YOUR AB SEPARATION DOESN'T MATTER AS MUCH AS YOU THINK IT DOES.

‍

I’m not saying it doesn’t matter.

I AM saying we don’t need to GASP when we notice a 4-finger separation instead of just a 1-finger separation.

Here’s the point I’m trying to make:

Seeing coning/doming along your midline is not a major cause of concern.

I don’t want you to look at that on your body and say, “OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING I NEED TO STOP EXERCISING ASAP!”

You could have major coning/doming, even a 4” separation between your abs, and still be stronger than someone with no ab separation.

It’s all about your ability to control the coning — aka your ability to “manage your intrabdominal pressure.”

I know core work is a hot topic, especially after having a baby, and that’s why I created the Mama Core workout series.

Check out the Mama Core workshop where we go in-depth on all things diastasis recti and pelvic floor, or get the ON-DEMAND PASS to my online class library to start taking Mama Core classes TODAY.
