Mother of Son With SPD Shares How Fit2B Is Changing Their Lives

“I actually am 2 years out post baby. But I didn’t know that I had diastasis recti. I just thought I had belly bloat or that my trunk was too short for all my insides. So I posted the first picture {see photo below} on the trim healthy mama site asking what people recommended to fix that tummy! And they all said it looked like diastasis. I was directed here, signed up and it’s been amazing!!! Diastasis is for the birds!” -Katie G.

“I started with the Foundational 5 and now I do one of those f5’s mixed with a couple videos from either the glute path, arm path or beginners path depending on what day of the week it is. I can’t do much of the glute or arm paths yet as my diastasis is still wide, so I just keep doing the ones in the beginning as I work my way through the beginners path…but we’re getting there!!!!”

“This is what OUR at home workouts really look like {see photo below} My pose isn’t perfect, we’re just having fun together…it wasn’t a serious workout session. I do mine first thing in the morning. He has so much fun joining me in the mornings that he wanted to do a little one before bed. We giggled more than we “warrior’d.” He struggles daily with SPD [sensory processing disorder] so he’s my little warrior.”

“I came from a background of planking and burpees and crazy amounts of extreme squats and plies. Then I got the diastasis and none of it was helping and so much harder. I didn’t know I had the diastasis at the time however. I was injuring my lower back doing all the lower ab work (I know why now). All that being said, when I first found your site I literally said, out loud, “this is ridiculous. This workout is doing absolutely nothing.” And when I started the glute path and I did the warrior workout I said again, “I’m losing so much tone waiting for this diastasis to close. This is crazy…I’m going to lose my tone!!” But waddaya know? It works!! Turns out I didn’t need all that crazy stuff I was doing before. I never liked it anyway. I dreaded it. Now I can’t WAIT to get up and gently exercise. The stuff I do now with your site, most of my fitness friends call it “day off work,” just little keeping active things for their day off. But it’s working!! Turns out I don’t need to kill myself.”

Note from Bethany, Fit2B founder: Thank you for sharing your success with us, Katie! You’re so right about not killing yourself! I’m so glad you found me and Fit2B through THM. They have a great program, and I’ve chatted with them on the phone a couple times. Their info on DR is pretty solid, and we send lots of our clients back and forth between us!
