內容簡介: |
Pregnancy naturally separates a mother''s outermost abdominal
muscles to make room for her growing uterus. Called a diastasis,
this separation doesn''t fully close up in 98 percent of new moms.
The larger the diastasis, the weaker the muscles and the greater
chance for mom to develop back problems down the road. Of perhaps
greater concern for moms, new and veteran alike, the larger the
diastasis, the bigger the belly that just won''t seem to go away
after baby''s delivery!Lose Your Mummy Tummy introduces the Tupler
Technique, a set of deceptively simple abdominal and breathing
exercises that decrease the diastasis and result in a firmer,
flatter, and stronger belly. Like Kegels-those all-important and
privately-practiced pregnancy exercises-the Tupler Technique can be
practiced almost anywhere and at anytime. Including illustrations
for a 15 or a 30-minute at-home exercise routine, Lose Your Mummy
Tummy ensures: * A tighter, flatter stomach * A smaller waistline *
A reduction or elimination of back pain * The ability to safely
lift your baby and heavy objects * More energy * Better posture *
The perfect preparation for your next pregnancy
