Hi, are there any experienced trainers who could advise me, a peri-menopausal woman on specific exercises for the typical distended abdomen?

I saw a plastic surgeon five years ago who said, oh yes you absolutely need surgery to stitch your abs back together etc, now the skin is unrepairable however when i tense my abs there is no gap in between so am i correct this means i can fully tone my abs? if so please please help me!

You're taking about rectus diastasis, right? Just Google "best exercises for recuts diastasis" and you'll get some suggestions that will help push them together. It's impossible to heal it through exercise, but you can minimize the appearance and the effects on your core stability.

Your at the age it all starts to change and cery hard to fix… actually that was 40 but 50 is more work.


Dont know… im sure there's videos. Get out of the 🇺🇸 so can get decent food, cut calories, tone and strengthen. Do crossfix type training and eat no sugar and minimal carb. That will help.
there's other women leading showing how its done. If need reference lmk.

You can over time slowly do normal exercises don't lift weights wet after two months consistent exercise then try and work up your weights slowly
