What types of cardio can I do with diastasis recti?

When healing diastasis recti, we recommend low-impact cardio to start, such as walking, spinning, cycling, elliptical, and swimming. Wait to reintroduce higher impact exercise (jogging, running, jumping) until you have built sufficient core and pelvic floor strength to jump, cough, and sneeze without leaking urine or experiencing other symptoms (such as pelvic pressure, vaginal heaviness, back pain, urgency to pee or bladder pressure). We have a Ready to Run guided path to help you progress safely from low-impact to higher-impact exercise.
