Exercising after birth presents a few challenges for new moms, but the largest concern is a condition called diastis recti, a very common occurrence where the abdominal muscles split to make room for the growing child, and afterwards remain split.

Resistance band training is one of the few workouts that stays with you throughout the day and beyond, we might be biased but we feel a combination of cardio with resistance will give you the best results. 

Training muscles slowly, with longer, intensive movements over a period of time, in comparison to short bursts, has a number of benefits including the lengthening of muscles, offering a leaner appearance, increased overall strength and flexibility (especially important as you age) and improved posture. 

Resistance bands are the multitaskers of the fitness community, here are some surprising reasons why we think they are the number one workout accessory you should have for your routine.
