Bronwyn Higgins Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I am recovering from a C-section 6 weeks ago and have been cleared to start exercising again by my doc. I want to rebuild lost strength gradually, and intelligently. Is there a scale for tuck ups? Possibly 1 leg at a time? Or hollow upper body only? I CAN do a short tuck hold, but not yet able to pull both legs up and hollow chest simultaneously. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning from the seated top position of the tuck-up but with the feet on the floor, i would begin with slow eccentric. they are wonderful to increase tissue strength.

Bronwyn Higgins Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thank you Alessandro. So just slide my feet along the floor to full extension while maintaining hollow chest if possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the top try to open your chest then as you move lower the lower back should touch first and you can assume a bit of hollowed position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn Higgins Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Thank you Alessandro. I can’t yet lift my upper body beyond my shoulders! See video. Do you think this is alright to progress from first? https://youtu.be/Kj9BMqeuTm0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
