@dr.empresszara: This is called the abdominal vacuum—a gentle exercise that activates your deepest core muscle, the transverse abdominis.” “Instead of crunches, I breathe out completely and gently pull my belly button in toward my spine, as if I’m zipping up a tight pair of jeans.” “I hold the contraction for a few seconds while breathing normally, then relax and repeat.” “This exercise helps rebuild core strength after pregnancy, improves posture, and supports recovery. It’s about reconnecting with your core, not sucking in your stomach. ##PostpartumJourney #PostpartumFitness #CoreRecovery #DeepCore #AbdominalVacuum
