Place both of your hands on your abdomen, fingers pointing towards your pelvis. Exhale and lift your head off of the floor, while pressing down with your fingers- I am doing 20 of these.2.Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Work to bring your navel as close as possible to your spine, so it looks as if your stomach is "caving in". Hold this for a minute or two, while continuing to relax and breathe- 25 of these. 3.Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Exhale and extend one leg out in front of you. Wait for your abdomen to contract, and then inhale and place your leg back on the floor. Alternate legs.20 of these.<br />Diane- I am really hoping so ! It seems that the surgery also requires exercises to be fully successful , so why not try to do what I can first off ? It will not be perfect , but it will most certainly be better than what it currently is and then my other muscles should strengthen and it will be more improvement. I think in my case it got so bad because of having no abdominal strength in the first place, two surgeries and a pregnancy between those.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694756762570280051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-33079027548094154562010-04-20T18:03:47.423-07:002010-04-20T18:03:47.423-07:00I've never had good luck with cooking polenta ...I've never had good luck with cooking polenta properly. Your recipe sounds great.<br /><br />I'm sorry you have the abdominal separation. I knew it could occur after pregnancies (and almost always does after several) but I thought it healed itself. I think you can heal it yourself based on what research you have already come up with.Diane Fit to the Finishhttp://www.fittothefinish.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-46882422644069791282010-04-20T12:31:07.342-07:002010-04-20T12:31:07.342-07:00May I ask what exercises you are doing?

My daughter has bladder control issues and I think it relates to her muscle tone (though the doctors dismissed that idea and put her on meds that haven't helped much).tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729184946213858545noreply@blogger.com
