Ok, Trisch, you have me convinced. I'm going to try with a towel tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Mary Ellen,
Lay flat on the floor with your feet up near your butt. Slowly lift your head off the floor. Sometimes you will 'see' the V stand up on your stomach, but you can also tell by whether or not you can put any fingers in the center of your muscles. The measurement of how bad your diastasis is, is measured by how many fingers width your muscle is apart. You measure approx. 3" above your navel, at your navel, and 3" below your navel. Maybe a trainer has a better way of explaining it.

When you head is lifted, press your fingers in below your belly button. Moving fingers down (or up) until you feel a little "v". You'll feel the edge of the muscle wall on either side. That is the split.
When I first "went exploring", my fingers were facing each other and I found the v and the slight widening--the edges of the muscle wall. I kept moving my fingers up towards my belly button and the muscle edges widened several inches. I got up above the belly button and my fingers disappeared in a FAST empty CAVERN!!! It was so freaky!!!!!! Scared me to death!
Now my fingers actually meet when I press in at my belly button...which means the edges of the muscle wall are just about together. There is just a teeny bit of widening as I move up a little and there IS muscle up above that now!!

Woo-HOO Jennifer!
Kristine, that's the way I'd explain it!
Strengthening core is so key and it's wonderful Teresa helps us do that even with the standing workouts, so if we're not ready for floorwork, we can still strengthen the core!
