1. Your current fitness level:

Novice - I'm new to this! And it's kind of intimidating.

Intermediate - I've done fitness before, but I'm not necessarily consistent.

Veteran - I currently exercise, although not as consistent as I'd like.

Recreational Athlete - I enjoy fitness and exercise 4-5x/week!

2. Do you have diastasis recti? Don't worry...if you have no idea what I am talking about! I'd like you to check out this quick 40 second self-test video. The self-test begins at 4:55.

Yes, I think I have diastasis recti. It seems to be 3-4 finger breadths when I do the self-test.

Yes, I think I have diastasis recti. It seems to be 2-3 finger breadths when I do the self-test.

Yes, I have diastasis recti. I have seen a medical professional and they recommended I continue exercise with modifications.

No, there is a minimal separation. My separation is less than 2 finger breadths. But I think I have a weak core.

No, there is a minimal separation.

No, there is a minimal separation. My core is pretty strong.

3. Assuming your doctor has given you permission to exercise, do you have any restrictions? For example, you would answer yes if you need low impact workouts for an achy back or old knee injury that flares up.

Yes, I should be restricted to low impact for a few months.

Yes, but I think exercise will help. I'd like to start with low impact and progressively add more.

No.

4. When performing a modified plank or plank for 30 seconds, you feel it:

in my back, and it hurts a bit.

in my back.

in my neck, back and shoulders.

in my core and arms.

5. What is your ideal schedule? Please note, while I put the 3 main components - cardio, toning & flexibility in every workout - some are longer in length to increase the challenge and/or add functional exercises (training the body for activities performed in daily life).

3x/week maximum ~ 20 minutes/workout. We have several 3x/week programs, but I encourage 4x/week! If you select this answer I will link you to the 3x/week programs as well as the 4x/week schedule. Keep in mind...the schedule you can stick with is the the best schedule for you!

4x/week maximum ~ 20-25 minutes/workout.

4x/week maximum ~ 20-35 minutes/workout.

5x/week maximum ~ 20-35 minutes/workout.

6. The best type of exercise is the kind of exercise that you can commit to doing;) So we are making it fun! One last thing I need to know, do you like jogging/running? In order to be an effective tool jogging/running needs to be combined with cross-training. Do you want a workout that incorporates this 2-3x/week?

Yes!

No!
