I've been doing some standing exercises for my ab separation (mummy tummy) and have gotten great results. My stomach is flatter than it ever has been. Now, I'm looking to get stronger. I tried the towel wrapped around my core crunch and it felt too weird and I felt too weak. Next I wrapped it with a scarf and tied it tight. This felt fine as I had neck support. I'm wondering if wrapping my abs with an ace bandage and doing crunches would hold my abs together like the towel recommendation, or if I'm making a mistake doing this.

I don't know the answer, but I have emailed Julie Tupler with questions before and have gotten very helpful responses. She's the expert, so I'd trust her advice.

If I were you, I would want to know for sure before doing anything that might undo your hard work and increase the diastasis again!

Good luck!

p.s. I'd be very interested to hear the answer, if you get one. Would you post here what you learn?
