If you've been working out but your core still feels disconnected — this is for you.
A 6-Week Deep Core Reset for Postpartum Moms
By Stephanie, The Ab Chick
Flatten your lower belly. Rebuild your deep core. Feel confident and strong again — safely.
If you've been working out but your "mom pooch" won't budge…
If crunches make things worse instead of better…
If your core feels disconnected, weak, or unstable after pregnancy…
You're not broken. You simply need to rebuild your core the right way.
Beyond the Pooch is a structured 6-week program designed specifically to restore deep core function, close abdominal separation (diastasis recti), improve posture, and help you regain a flatter, stronger midsection — without unsafe movements or extreme dieting.
What Makes This Program Different?
Most programs jump straight into planks, crunches, and intense ab work — which can actually worsen abdominal separation and create more bulging.
✔ Deep core activation first (not surface abs)
✔ Proper breathing + pelvic floor connection
✔ Progressive strengthening over 6 weeks
✔ Posture correction for visible flattening
✔ Safe movement patterns before loading intensity
✔ Sustainable nutrition guidance (including breastfeeding considerations)
This isn't about rushing results — it's about rebuilding your foundation so your results actually last.
What You'll Learn
✔ What diastasis recti is — and how it contributes to the "pooch"
Understand why your abs separated during pregnancy and how proper rehab restores function.
✔ How to test your own abdominal separation safely
Simple at-home self-assessment so you know where to start.
✔ Which exercises to avoid (and when to safely reintroduce them)
Avoid movements that increase intra-abdominal pressure and delay healing.
✔ The Zip-Up Method for deep core activation
Learn the breathing technique that reconnects your transverse abdominis — your natural internal corset.
✔ How posture alone can make your stomach look flatter
Small daily habits that compound into visible change.
Your 6-Week Transformation Plan
Each phase lasts 2 weeks and builds progressively:
Activate & Connect
Reconnect breathing, pelvic floor, and deep core engagement.
Strengthen & Stabilize
Build stability and integrate controlled functional movement.
Integrate & Challenge
Add resistance and prepare your core for full-body training.
You'll also receive a weekly schedule example so you know exactly how to structure your workouts alongside walking and recovery days.

What Moms Are Saying
Real results from real postpartum moms
"I was doing everything 'right' — eating clean, working out 5 days a week — and my lower belly just would not budge. Two weeks into Beyond the Pooch I finally felt my core actually switch on for the first time since having my son. By week 6 I could see a real difference. I wish I had found this sooner."
"I didn't even know diastasis recti was a thing until I stumbled across Stephanie's page. The self-test had me in shock — no wonder nothing was working. This program finally gave me a plan that made sense for what my body actually went through."
"The Zip-Up Method alone was worth every penny. I had never made that connection between breathing and my core before. Three weeks in and my posture improved so much that my husband noticed before I even said anything."
"I'm 2 years postpartum and thought the pooch was just something I had to live with. Stephanie's program proved me completely wrong. The progression made it feel totally doable even on my busiest mom days — most sessions I was done in under 20 minutes."
"Después de tener a mis dos bebés pensé que mi cuerpo nunca volvería a ser el mismo. This program changed everything for me. By week 4 I felt stronger in my core than I did before I was ever pregnant."
"I've tried so many postpartum programs and they all just felt like generic workout plans. Beyond the Pooch is the first one that actually addressed the real problem. The education alone — understanding why crunches were making things worse — was a total game changer."
"I had a C-section and was nervous about starting any core work. Steph's approach is so thoughtful and conservative at first — I never felt rushed or like I was doing anything unsafe. By week 5 I felt more connected to my body than I had in years."
"I'm a first time mom and started this at 4 months postpartum. I had no idea what I was doing before this. The weekly structure made it so easy to follow and I loved that I only needed one dumbbell. My core feels completely different now — tight and actually functional."
"At 42 I was skeptical that anything would make a difference. I'm so glad I gave this a chance. The posture correction section alone flattened my lower belly visually before I even finished the full 6 weeks. I've already recommended this to three friends."
"I've been following the ab chick for a while and finally pulled the trigger on Beyond the Pooch after my second baby. Her explanations are so clear — you never feel lost or confused about what you're doing or why. Real results, real approach, no fluff."
