Announcing NEW TummySafe Fit Pro CEU course!

If you work with people who are dealing with diastasis recti and other symptoms of core dysfunction, you need to understand their fitness choices. Even more importantly, if you are a fitness instructor, personal trainer, physical therapist, body worker, chiropractor, or anyone who prescribes exercises of any sort, you need to know how to teach those exercises in a way that restores core strength and total body range of motion.

Tummysafe Fit Pro Course

I’ve collaborated with Kelly Dean, core rehabilitation specialist and owner of The Tummy Team, on several projects since 2011 when I completed my own diastasis recti rehab with her in person. I consult with her and her team, along with many other specialists, as I design the workouts we provide here on Fit2B Studio. We both have received countless queries over the years, asking us — begging us — to put together a course for fitness professionals.

#TummySafeFitPro is finally here!

Please give a warm welcome — and consider making it your next CEU purchase if you’re an exercise provider — to our new Comprehensive TummySafe Fitness Professional Course!

Sample two videos from this diastasis-aware course

Box jumps and pull-ups are two popular exercises in CrossFit and other gym or athletic club facilities and settings. The technique needed to keep the abs from pressurizing and bulging too much may vary from person to person; however, our goal in this course was to offer some standard cues you can use for each of your clients if they wish to work on progressing back into these commonly instructed fitness moves. Please read what I’ve written about leaking while jumping here, and how I personally dealt with returning to box jumps.

This next video is just one of three videos offered in the course that discuss bars and hanging. Teaching the move is one part of training. In personalized one-on-one sessions, you have the opportunity to discuss each exercise with your clients as they work out: Did anything feel tight or uncomfortable? Where did they feel the pressure? We go over more questions in the other videos in the TummySafe Fit Pro course.

More about TummySafe Fit Pro:

The course is hosted on The Tummy Team’s website where they are already doing a lot of continuing education for physical therapists, fitness instructors, nurses, and even surgeons! The course is a collaborative work between The Tummy Team and myself, Beth Learn, the founder of Fit2B. It was filmed and edited by Kelly and her team, and Fit2B contributed several workout videos as bonus content for students who wish to see examples of how to incorporate diastasis-recti-aware cues into their exercise coaching.
