Check Your Belly before You Wreck Your Belly Campaign!

The Tummy Team is excited to announce the....


                                          

 

Awareness Campaign!

"When your belly gets worse or won't go away with exercise, it may not be fat.  It may be your organs sticking out," said Julie Tupler, RN, the creator of the Tupler Technique® and President of Tupler Inc.  "Checking your belly for a diastasis before starting your New Year's fitness resolution may be one of the smartest things you can do for yourself because it may help stop you from wrecking your belly.  At our press briefing on Monday, we will show you how to check your belly for a diastasis.  If you know you have a diastasis, then there are certain exercises to avoid because these exercises may make the belly even bigger.  When the abdominal muscles separate the connective tissue stretches sideways and becomes weaker.  When you do planks and crunches, you are creating intra-abdominal pressure that pushes against the connective tissue.  This force makes the separation larger.  Trauma to this abdominal connective tissue can tear it away from the muscle and cause a ventral hernia."

As part of this campaign,

The Tummy Team will be conducting

FREE BELLY CHECKS

on the following dates:



1. Saturday, December 10 at 12noon-3pm


2. Friday, January 6, 2012 at 2pm-6pm

We would love to help you see how truly strengthening your core from the inside out will flatten your tummy, relieve back pain, improve your intestinal function and pelvic floor strength.  Come see us for a free diastasis check and the opportunity to learn how The Tummy Team can help you and others you love.
