Many moms do traditional core exercise before having rehabilitated their postpartum bellies. You'll know that you have started way too early if your belly is shaped as a volcano while doing the plank. Take your shirt off and look down at your belly while planking. Is your belly pushed out? There you have a good indication that your inner abdominals are not strong enough. Is your belly shaped as the top of volcano? There you have a good sign that you are definitely not ready and that you most likely have Diastasis recti (abdominal muscles separation).
Do you want to do something about your Diastasis recti and recover the strength of your inner abdominals BEFORE begginnig your regular fitness routine? Then you should follow the program in my Post-Pregnancy Belly Guide!
And you know, it is NEVER TOO LATE! If you have had your mommy belly for years you can still do something about it!
