The prompt

Copy the complete prompt (it wraps the request below so the AI returns a clean, runnable session).

Write me a 25-minute diastasis-aware postpartum Pilates session that rebuilds my deep core, focusing on transverse-abdominis activation. I'm a beginner new mum, low-impact only, and may have abdominal separation. First tell me how to self-check for doming/coning and to avoid any exercise that makes my belly bulge or dome. Warm-up (5 min): connection breath with TVA draw-in on the exhale (10 reps, hold the gentle brace 3-5s each), pelvic tilts (10 reps). Main set (15 min), all mat-based and core-supported, give sets, reps and rest in seconds: TVA breathing with heel slides (2x8 each leg, rest 30s), toe taps / single-leg lowers keeping the back flat (2x8 each, rest 30s), bird-dog with a neutral spine (2x6 each side, rest 30s), side-lying clamshells (2x12 each side, rest 30s), and a glute bridge with exhale-lift (2x10, rest 30s). Avoid crunches, full sit-ups, planks, and double-leg lowers for now. Cooldown (5 min): child's pose and supine breathing with hold times. Cue every move with the exhale-on-effort breath and flag what doming looks like.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Pilates-style mat work can improve core endurance and how you control your trunk, and an exhale-on-effort plus a gentle deep-core draw-in is a reasonable way to load a healing abdomen without bulging. Be honest: the systematic-review evidence is for general Pilates outcomes, not for closing diastasis recti specifically, claims that any single move 'closes the gap' are overstated. Avoid doming, skip crunches/planks early, and see a pelvic-health physio if separation is wide or symptomatic.

Who this workout is for

Built with one person in mind: New mum easing in, gentle core and pelvic-floor-aware rebuild, low-impact.

You’re a beginner-level trainer and you want a balanced, sustainable routine.
You have access to the kit it calls for: bike.
You want a single, repeatable Pilates session you can drop into your week.

Who should adapt or skip it

Returning after birth? Wait for your postnatal check and clearance before loading the core, and progress gradually.
As with any new routine, check with a clinician first if you have a medical condition, are injured, pregnant, or returning from a long lay-off. This is general information, not medical advice.

What a 2-week plan looks like

A single session works best on a repeating weekly rhythm. Here’s a simple, balanced two-week block at about 3 sessions a week, on non-consecutive days so you recover between them:

	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun
Week 1	●	·	●	·	●	·	·
Week 2	●	·	●	·	●	·	·

● This session· Rest or a gentle walk

Keep session days apart where you can, and adjust for how you feel. When you paste the AI’s reply into sweatcue, each session runs hands-free with spoken cues and timers.
