Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Pregnancy naturally separates a mother's outermost abdominal muscles to make room for her growing uterus. Called a diastasis, this separation doesn't fully close up in 98 percent of new moms. The larger the diastasis, the weaker the muscles and the greater chance for mom to develop back problems down the road. Of perhaps greater concern for moms, new and veteran alike, the larger the diastasis, the bigger the belly that just won't seem to go away after baby's delivery!Lose Your Mummy Tummy introduces the Tupler Technique, a set of deceptively simple abdominal and breathing exercises that decrease the diastasis and result in a firmer, flatter, and stronger belly. Like Kegels-those all-important and privately-practiced pregnancy exercises-the Tupler Technique can be practiced almost anywhere and at anytime. Including illustrations for a 15 or a 30-minute at-home exercise routine, Lose Your Mummy Tummy ensures: A tighter, flatter stomach A smaller waistline A reduction or elimination of back pain The ability to safely lift your baby and heavy objects More energy Better posture The perfect preparation for your next pregnancy

Get your flat belly back - for real!
If you really want to get rid of your "mummy tummy" and can't figure out why, thousands of sit-ups later, the rest of your body has returned to normal with the exception of your stomach, "Lose your Mummy Tummy" is the ONLY book you'll ever need. Guaranteed. You most likely have something called a diastasis, which is essentially a separation of the outermost abdominal muscle. This is a very common problem for women (that often gets worse the more children you have) that can indeed be repaired. You probably can't pronounce "diastasis" yet, but when you get through reading this treasure of a find, you will be repeating it enthusiastically to everyone you meet and be a total convert - complete with flatter belly!
Three months ago I was considering a tummy tuck. But in just weeks after doing the simple series of exercises recommended in "Lose your Mummy Tummy," and ALWAYS looking five months pregnant with my formerly perennial pooch, I am close to looking like I did pre-pregnancy with my first son! Family and friends have been astonished and people I meet now don't even believe I've had children, let alone three - I love and adore this reaction as it is the greastest compliment and testament to the book! Hands-down, this is the most fantastic purchase and investment I've ever made towards my body and well-being. The results have been phenomenal for such a short period of time and the positive habits I've formed will be with me for a lifetime. Follow the simple instructions and movements presented and you will be absolutely amazed by the results!
Lastly, at first I thought it was totally unfair to have some woman on the cover who had never had kids. It turns out, this is an ACTUAL MOM who formerly had a diastasis. So give up that tired, old collection of exercise and workout programs that has left everything but your belly flat, and get your stomach to where you really want it to be with "Lose your Mummy Tummy." No doubt you will be writing a stellar review like me in no time.

Thank you Julie Tupler
Thank you Julie! It has been one year since the birth of my second child and I will now be able to wear a bathing suit...a bikini..this summer. After I gave birth to my first child, I thought there was no hope of getting rid of my post-baby pouch. I tried Pilates and situps which did not help (and now I know only made my diastasis worse). I gave away all my post baby clothes since I figured that I would never fit back into them. Thankfully, I read an article about the Tupler technique prior to the birth of my second child. A week after my daughter was born, I started my exercise program using Julie's techniques. My diastasis was a 5! You need to be disciplined- wear the splint and work up to 1,000 stomach squeezes each day-but the results are worth it. If I rebel and do not do my exercises, I immediately feel my stomach starting to distend. I am so happy to have my pre-baby figure back. I did not think it was possible without surgery. Julie's book and DVD should be handed out during all childbirth seminars. I highly recommend watching the DVD and if possible attending one of her seminars. Leslie, NYC

It really works.
I'm always surprised at the number of women I talk to that have no idea what a diastisis is, and can't believe this isn't talked about more in pre- and post-natal visits. I knew nothing about this until doing an internet search after my first daughter was born, and I was determined to get my six-pack abs back. If you're serious about losing your mummy tummy, this book is worth the investment. I also own the DVD and the splint, which I wear religiously (even as I type!). The exercises Julie Tupler prescribes really work. They did with my first daughter, and I can't believe how quickly my stomach is flattening with my 2nd. Doing these exercises takes time as another reviewer mentioned, but you can knock them out while nursing or driving your car - no problem. This book, DVD and splint make a nice package for any woman that has just had a baby and is anxious to get her body back.

Great for flattening the tummy!
I had 3 kids in under 2 years and my muscles were at least 3 fingers separated. I highly recommend this book - it has a really lite workout program thats easy for postpartum and it really helps you work your transverse muscles. It really a rehabilitative exercise and very therapeutic. She really does know her stuff. Its a great present to any mother, and even just someone who has very weak stomach muscles. I highly recommend it.

This book is a great aid to losing the "mommy pouch". Details the physical changes of of your muscles during pregnacy and shows you a great techique of how to get them back in order. A must for new moms and also good for mothers still trying to tighten up their mummy tummy years down the road.
