So I thought I would post some of the crazy awesome results just 2 days before the due date of #5 so you could get a taste of some of the great case studies and before and afters. Then in April or so I will post my own before and after results after baby #5. Enjoy!
Client AG
This client (ABOVE) is in her 30s and is a health conscious mom recently of 5 young kids – 2 of them are still nursing. As you can see, she has had SIGNIFICANT results! She lost 7 inches in her belly button ALONE in just 4 weeks. She lost 15 inches across her entire midsection in just 4 weeks! How did she do it? She splinted consistently and she followed the 6 week program – doing 7 to 10 sets of Seated Tuplers each day. You can notice the bulging of her belly near the belly button has significantly decreased. She is starting to get definition of her abdominal muscles. Also, you can see her diastasis that was fairly severe with very deep connective tissue between the two halves of her recti has improved significantly to be very shallow connective tissue and her diastasis is considered closed – just a tiny little almost imperceptible divet 3 inches above and 3 inches below the belly.

This client is a Pilates and Yoga instructor with 2 young kids – one of them is still under 1 and is still nursing. You can see with her numbers that her diastasis as well was fairly severe with deep connective tissue. We saw a huge improvement with the connective tissue and width of the diastasis in the first 2 weeks and continued improving. She wore the splint consistently, modified some of the movements she taught, splinted consistently and watched her body mechanics.

This client has 3 young boys. She recently had gall bladder surgery with a scar near her belly button. She could tell she had a diastasis and wanted to heal it. Her waist and abdomen started shrinking and her concerned husband wondered after 2 weeks whether or not she was “too skinny.” She began to notice very nice definition in her obliques as well as can be noticed in her after pics. She has made progress with her diastasis and should finish closing in a couple of weeks. She splinted consistently and did the Seated Tuplers 10 sets consistently.

This client has never had kids but knew she had a hernia she was very worried about and also suspected she had a diastasis recti. Sure enough she had both. She wants to have kids and felt the umbilical hernia was getting in the way of realizing her dreams, and she did not want to have surgery for it. Her hernia was giving her pain and was noticeable to her at all times. She did the Seated Tupler exercises very consistently and was able to reduce her hernia by 80% in just 4 weeks. It now does not cause her pain but feels like little bubbles as most of the organs poking through have gone back behind the connective tissue and recti muscles as her diastasis has decreased significantly. You can also see her waistline, while tiny before, also reduced even more, which was a nice perk!

You might remember this client from her SIGNIFICANT hernia reversal. Here are her follow up pictures. She has lost a total of 14 inches from her abdomal area and now has a 23 inch waist line – SUPER TINY! Hernia still gone!

You TOO can do this!!
August 7, 2013 Thanks for this list of resources. I keep meainng to address this issue. Ever since my third child was born, I have needed to find the appropriate exercises to strengthen my abdominal muscles. After having my fourth last year, I REALLY need to try something!
