Mum tum, mummy pooch, mum belly, muffin top - not a fan of these names but it's what we are all calling our tummies after having babies it seems.
The drive to get rid of it is real and after searching the terms on Google we find there's some crazy things suggested to help mums. Mags and Lara go through these 'ideas'.
We discuss factors that could be a factor in why there may be more weight on the tummy - i.e. loose skin, ab separation, fat.
Mags talks about her surprising finding after attending a pelvic floor check thats to do with her tummy.
Lara explains what she did to get leaner and stronger postpartum than even before she had babies and it's not anything to do with how the fitness industry teaches to help women lose weight.
We answer some questions that mums have asked around pot belly and ab separation and whether there is an exercise we should be focussing on for our core.
Mags gets passionate about the mindset behind our bodies.
We touch on nutrition and simple ways for mums to tackle the tummy weight if it's become a priority for them, no matter how long you are postpartum.
