About the program

This is my 15-Week Diastasis Recti program in a follow along format. I thought this would be great for those who want to see the full workout, or rather, a five minute clip of the workout since I will be doing exercises back to back in order to demonstrate them. Throughout this program you'll slowly start to incorporate more challenging exercises. This program is done three times a week, with workouts that should be less than a half hour depending on your pace. The sole purpose of this program is to go at a pace that's comfortable for you, even if that means repeating workouts. Trust me when I say that slow and steady win the race with this one. You WILL be repeating workouts throughout this program. It's designed that way. While this program is geared towards postpartum women, these exercises are actually really great for anyone looking to strengthen their core.

    Woo! Love the quick workout as a stay at home mom of one and two year old. I used two 5lb dumbbells...the prayer pulses were a great finish exercise.

    About Alexis Nielsen

    Mom. Prenatal & Postpartum Coach.

    Hey there! My name is Alexis. I’m a mom and online health coach. I like to put health before aesthetics, focusing on whole foods first, and supplements that I can safely use while pregnant and/or breastfeeding to fill in any nutritional gaps. Out of the 15+ years that I’ve been training, I only trained at a weightlifting gym for one year. This means that almost all of my workouts have been done in the comfort of my own home! I was a competitive gymnast for 7 years, obtaining my personal training and nutrition certification after I retired from the competitive circuit, and then started competing within the NPC. With so many years of gymnastics under my belt I’m used to utilizing body weight for exercises, and getting creative with limited equipment. After becoming a mom I realized how possible it was to build a training regimen with workouts that are 15-30 minutes. Working out at home with a toddler, I just don’t always have the time to get in a hour workout plus cardio. I was able to reach my postpartum weight without utilizing a restrictive diet, nor spending hours in the gym. Now I share that knowledge with other moms and busy women!

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does the app cost?
    You can start my programs and join my community FREE for the first 7 days. After that you'll pay $14.99/month or $99.99/year. When you break it down, that's $0.49/day should you sign up monthly, or $0.28/day for the yearly subscription. You'll have access to endless fitness content every day!
    Do I need to purchase equipment?
    It depends on the workout! I strive to make my workouts and programs for everyone. This means different fitness levels, no equipment workouts, apartment friendly cardio workouts, and more. For the most part you can complete my programs without any equipment, but I do suggest eventually getting two pairs of dumbbells (a lighter pair and a heavier pair), and a yoga mat for added comfort!
    What makes your app different? Will it work for me?
    If you haven’t had success with other workout apps and programs in the past, you may be skeptical. However, this app is designed to not only allow you to log your workouts, but also to be part of a community. I'm always happy to answer a question! I'm simply a message away!
    I'm a beginner, can I do these programs?
    No matter where you are in your fitness journey, I can help you succeed. I believe that fitness and moving your body is for everyone, no matter what your fitness level happens to be. I have beginner friendly programs, as well as programs for those who are more advanced in their fitness journey. Plus, each program has easy-to-follow videos so you'll know how to do the exercises!
