She said her stomach muscles had gotten split while she was pregnant with her first, but she'd gotten pregnant again before she'd gotten back in shape. She was halfway in and was already in a lot of pain.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-90202907097446850892011-10-17T22:43:32.237-04:002011-10-17T22:43:32.237-04:00I'm late to this party, but I agree with you w...I'm late to this party, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. <br /><br />Even though they were three weeks early, my twins had a combined weight at birth of over 17.5 lbs (one was 8.9, the other 8.12--this is what you get if you're 5'10 and your husband is 6'4). I read a lot of stern advice before I had them about how exercising was mandatory for anyone after a multiple birth. My muscles had separated in front (which is common) but I was able to get a lot of my strength back. Core strength is really important!Captain Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294085455860971795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-9767643187410736472011-10-16T08:39:32.339-04:002011-10-16T08:39:32.339-04:00Sorry guys, I checked out for a while there.

Anyway, I'm not surprised your instructor had you doing that. You're putting yourself in collection with that one!<br /><br />Wolfie- OW! Geez, that's awful. Glad you feel better now.<br /><br />Sarah remember to start slow and easy :)smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-77033770146865642962011-10-13T23:19:43.024-04:002011-10-13T23:19:43.024-04:00These are great suggestions...thank you so much! ...These are great suggestions...thank you so much!

The scar tissue around the tear would spasm to the point that it would knock the wind out of me. In fact, someone would have to stay with me because I would faint from lack of oxygen! Back then the only thing they did for back pain of any kind was give you super pain meds and bed rest. No one thought of actually doing exercises to STRENGTHEN your back. When I started riding, my friends thought I was crazy because of my past back problems. I will say that riding has HELPED my back by helping to strengthen my core (what little of it there is!). I am going to try some of the exercises you have listed. :-)Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-65188940974459427772011-10-13T16:13:14.319-04:002011-10-13T16:13:14.319-04:00Very interesting.

You must have been seriously hurting. <br /><br />The pelvic tilt is the same exercise that my riding teacher uses in the saddle to encourage neutral pelvis.

Bingo! It is still a weak spot and I am definitely not as diligent about exercises as I should be.

I never had it operated on and my right calf is still a little numb after all these years. I did do some of these exercises in physical therapy and do them when my back flares up. I really should stop being so lazy and do them everyday. My excuse is I don't have the time, but I should make it. At least I don't complain about the pain. That's one thing in my favor...Right?Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-88843258303302307132011-10-13T13:03:27.759-04:002011-10-13T13:03:27.759-04:00These are great exercises.
