Started my situps routine again

I  need to do something about this belly that makes me look like I'm 20 wks. along,  so I went back to my situps routine.  I'm scared though... so I started with 5 per day to see how it feels.  I've felt fully recovered for some time now.

Well, I'm pretty sore!  Looks like it will take me a looong time to get back into a whole regimen again. Sad

    The thought of doing sit ups make me laugh! lol. Don't worry, you'll get there. I remember feeling very very sore after doing sit ups the first time after my first c-section.

    It'll probably take a while to get there. Plus keep in mind that you literally had your stomach muscles seperated. It took me probably 6 months or more to sit up just using my ab muscles. Although, I wasn't as ambitious as you! Smile

    be careful, if your muscles have separated, sit ups could do you more harm than good.

    I'm glad I posted this.  I spoke to my dr. who told me that I have to work my way back to crunches, not jump right into them.

    Thank you for the heads up!
