Ab Exercises: Postpartum Workout with Dove March 8, 2016
I know many of you have been asking for a good postpartum workout, and your first one is finally here! Below you will find a great postpartum ab workout. Remember, take it easy and listen to your body. If anything hurts, stop exercising immediately. This first postpartum workout is brought to you by Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant.
Being a mom and an avid workoutaholic, I need a deodorant that goes on and stays on without leaving visible residue. This Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant fills all of those requirements with ease. I don’t know about you, but with 2 kids to run around after I sometimes don’t even look in the mirror before I leave the house. So I’m glad I at least don’t have to worry about white flakes on my clothes from my deodorant. Spit up in my hair and drool on my face are other issues…
Then, of course, there’s the whole not smelling bad thing. Kind of important. I wake up in the morning, spray my deodorant on, and don’t have to think about it again! This antiperspirant spray lasts up to 48 hours, while also being made up of 1/4 moisturizers for softer and smoother underarms. It’s the latest beauty trend that I’ve added to my very simple beauty routine. And I will not be changing it any time soon! Go to Dove.com/trydry to learn more. #TryDry
And thanks to Dove, here is your postpartum ab workout:
The best way to do these postpartum workout exercises is as a circuit, do one set of each exercise. Then repeat. The heel taps are my absolute favorites as they work your lower abs while saving your back unnecessary stress. Enjoy and I can’t wait to hear how your workouts go!

I hear you on the white flakes. It’s so annoying when you have those white spots & stripes inside the top, let alone when they end up on the outside because you’ve changed clothes (for the gym, during shopping, whatever). Having a reliable deodorant is important for me as well, I hate the idea of being horribly smelly.
My core has been my biggest problem area since having my son in December. Even though I kept up with core work throughout my pregnancy, there are obviously things that still need to be worked on.
What a great postpartum workout! It’s been 3 years (almost to the day) and I am still working to get my abs back 😉
Great workout–there are so much that can happen to the abs and core during pregnancy and delivery, and it is important to bring the back gently, but efficiently!
These are great! As a fitness professional, I find all too many new moms try and hop right into the sit up/crunches/plank routine post partum, without checking for the possibility of diastasis recti first. You need to give your body time to heal!
Great work out! My core is a problem even without a baby ?
Speaking from experience this one definitely works wonders! Thanks for the demo!
