HELP! I cannot feel my lower abdominals, nor the skin around them.

by Suzi B

I had a c-section well over 15 years ago, and still to this day am unable to tighten my mid-to-lower abdominals, and even with exercise and diet, no such luck. I'm actually considering abdominal plasty, but that is my last resort. What can I do to tighten them, or should I seek a medical professional to tighten the abdominal walls for me?

Suzi,

Thanks for your question! Know that you are not alone in your struggle to regain your abs after a c section.

A great way to strengthen your abs is on a ball. It's actually my favorite way! If you haven't done so yet, I'd recommend checking out my free fitness ball routine.

I would also recommend checking out my review on a Fitness Program for Moms just like you called, Fit Yummy Mummy." This program can really help you set up a good weight training program for overall toning, including the abdomen!

Ultimately, you may need to consult a medical professional about what the best options are for you.

Good luck!

Helping you reach your fitness potential,
