Alemama...question about the plank

Body: 

I read in another post that you like to do the plank for exercising your abs. I was wondering how long you hold in that position for. I tried it just now and it was tiring, lol.

I would not recommend much ab work right now-
but in a month or so I would certainly start Nauli breathing- and the plank is good to do too-
I hope you know this is the plank where you lie face down on the floor then lift up onto your forearms- hands flat and up on your toes-
you can hold that as long as you like- build up to a few minutes a few times a day.
The trick here with prolapse is to take care of your whole body though. The ballet work out in the book is nice for this-
When in the posture you will have a slightly rounded lower belly (and at 8 weeks postpartum the belly will be more than "slightly" rounded) this is desirable. The quest for rock hard abs is not advisable in the stabilizing and reversal of prolapse.

i always had a goal of getting rock hard abs....guess that goal is out the window now....i am waiting for the book but it could take 2 to 4 wks to get so someone please tell me what are a couple safe excersises i can do right now at 8wks postpartum.
i need something to make me feel a little toner over all.....its so cold out side i havent been able to walk.
