  • Core Workouts post C-section

    I had a C-section nearly three years ago. I did my first core workout since having DD. I met with a trainer for a one time session two days ago. She only put in two types of core workouts for my program: planks and bicycle kicks. 48 hours later and I'm still really sore in the area around my C-section scar. Should I be worried? Will this area always be sore after a core workout?

    If you're worried, get it checked out.
    However, doing plank with proper form makes me sore for a while, myself. It is such a great strengthening exercise.

      If you don't mind me asking. Where are you sore after doing planks? Mine is the lower LOWER ab area right over my 'area.' No sharp pains just sore muscle. I hate to go to the obgyn. I'm not skinny enough to go back to the doctor right now! haha!

        For the record it took 3 days for that soreness to go away near the c-section area. Just in time for me to go back to the gym and do that workout again.

          If you're worried, I would seriously get it checked out. You'll feel more secure knowing what's going on.

          I am always sore throughout my core: obliques, upper and lower abs (esp. lower abs, since they are the weakest). How long were you holding plank? Was it modified?
          I notice that after about 1 min, 45 sec, I get shaky (which makes me super sore the next few days).

            I start out with a normal plank then switch to modified. I'm not sure how long she had me do it for. Until I couldn't do it anymore ie NOT LONG.

              Saw it on Pinterest. As Phe says Ho-ly Cow. I couldn't do most of the exercises. But damnit I'm gonna keep trying!

                Walking planks (forward 5 steps, 2 push ups - backward 5 steps, 2 push ups).

                Make sure your butt is aligned with your back (i.e. no bear crawling). Core needs to be tight as well when doing these.

                V-sit pose from Pilates: hold for 10 count, 3 or 4 sets.
                Again, make sure core is tight.
