MUTU System Avis 

This is my second time through the program it’s been brilliant for building my core to help with back strains. It’s straight forward and you can use objects around the house or get the kit, as it will come in handy!

I signed up for Mutu Mamas at about 12 weeks post natal with my second baby. I really wished I’d known about it much earlier and for pregnancy. My awareness of what is going on with my core and pelvic floor and how to strengthen it is much better. I have been doing the programme consistently for 8 weeks and really feel the difference. My strength is improved, my middle section is flatter and more toned and, most importantly for me, I have less back pain. The app is accessible and makes the programme easy to follow. The exercises are easy to fit in during nap times and if you want a bit more, there are new quick workouts published quite regularly. I will definitely take what I have learned forward, once I have completed the programme.

I LOVE the mutu system! I'm a mama of 10 and my last 3 pregnancies (after I found Mutu and Nutritious Movement) were definitely WAY more comfortable then my previous ones. My postpartum recoveries have also been so much faster and easier. I have focused less on how I look and more on how I feel, so to be honest I have never done the before and after pics. I also do not do mutu every day and in some seasons of life it's quite sporadic. But in spite of rolling that way, I've still felt like it's such a huge benefit. Doing it imperfectly is better than doing nothing perfectly. I like the depth of Nutritious Movement and Katy Bowmans work, so I do tweak some of the exercises a little. That said, I think Mutu is an awesome way to heal and strengthen your body in a wholesome way without having to think too deeply.

This definitely helped close my stomach and greatly improved my diastasis recti after my 4th pregnancy. I like that the steps are manageable and approachable. The breathing technique I think definitely made the difference. I would love to have a few more exercise routines in the mix though. In the end it is only 4 core and 4 intensive workouts. I also think the cool downs could be improved. And I would have liked if there was some place I could ask questions for questions not covered in the FAQ. Overall, I think it was worth it, and I would buy the program again. It prevented me from having to do physical therapy, so in the end saved me a lot of cost and time.

I’m about to begin module 4 and so far I love this program! The aesthetics of the videos, the guided instruction, and the journal aspect are just a few of my favorite things. I find both Nicole and and Wendy very easy to listen to and I look forward to my daily workout. I only wish I had purchased earlier and had access for life - I can definitely see myself doing many rounds of the program because it’s great!

I’ve just started module 7 and am starting to notice more changes now. I haven’t been able to stick to it 100% so have had days off here and there but make sure I do the module for a bit longer to make up for it. It’s so hard to fit into my days with 2 small children but I’m really trying and feel better when I get it done. I do think the videos could do with some improving as they’re a bit dark and sometimes hard to see but the instructions are good. So otherwise I’m really happy with my purchase and liking that I’m feeling more connected with my body after caesarean and some struggles with my mental health after a traumatic birth nearly 3 years ago, I’m feeling in a good place and Mutu has been there to help with my strength. Just need to work better at my diet!

I’m 18 months postpartum having vaginally delivered my second set of twins. I thought that I just had to live with a mommy pouch, and outie belly button, urinary incontinence and prolapse. When I found myself considering purchasing a girdle that cost almost as much as MUTU I decided instead to invest in MUTU to help me heal.
So far I’ve completed four weeks on MUTU and whilst I haven’t yet seen the flat tummy that drove me to MUTU I have learned so much and am empowered to make better choices for strengthening and healing my body. I’m definitely more connected to my core and my core is stronger. I know that it’s just a matter of time before everyone else can see the difference that I feel. Thank you MUTU.

It’s a great program. Easy to follow. Quick results. Easily fits into my busy week. And I love how my core is feeling!

Thank you, MUTU system, for empowering women. My diastasis recti is fixed. You teach us how our bodies work, and then set a clear path of progressive exercises and help us to stay motivated and on track. I like that so little equipment and floor space is needed for the exercises. My youngest is 3.5 years old and I'm looking forward to getting back into other forms of exercise now. :-)

My yoga instructor and physio told me I had a 3 finger separation but neither of them really helped to shorten the gap. The physio instructed me to do kegels and the yoga instructor asked me to do some poses with a belt but neither made any difference. I suffered with severe lower back pain. After just 3 weeks on the course my posture has improved and my gap is now only a finger width. The programme has made a huge difference to the way they I feel and look. I am so glad that I made the I investment in myself. I do find it hard to get out everyday with a baby and 5 year old but the schools are opening next week so I will be able to get out daily for a walk. It has made a huge impact to my life. I already eat the mutu way as I am vegan and dairy free but it encourages me to drink more water which is great. I love that it takes a holistic approach.

I find it is a very good system for postpartum exercise especially if you have issues like prolapse. It is very slow & gentle in the beginning but it picks up the pace by week 3 or 4.

The emails are really making a difference in sticking with it even after life happens and keeps me away from exercise for a while. It is a lifelong access once purchased so i always come back. It is nice to talk to other moms on connect too because they are going through the same thing.

The food guide is a little vague for me as i like more structure but i try to follow the suggestions of making healthy food choices.

As for results i would say you do get the results if you do the work. There is no magic wand but with mutu all the tools are there you just have to show up and do it

I'm on week 4 and until now it is really good and progressive exercise. I love that there is a tracking section where I can put my progress and keep track and motivation! It's really good to see "I got 3 days in a row" when you have a toddler to look after. I have less back pain too! (Can't believe it as I had this pain for 1.5years). Definitely don't regret joining the program :)

I'm four weeks into MUTU, having started out with severe diastasis recti (4 finger widths and almost half a finger deep). Already, my core feels stronger, my finger no longer sinks deep into the separation in my recti muscles and I lost half an inch on my waist :) I generally feel more energetic, fit and focused!! I love the holistic approach MUTU takes, targeting attitude and habits right along with the body. The explanations are clear and helpful, and there's lots of material in case you have time for more. Totally worth the money!

I am really happy with it especially that someone finally explained how to do pelvic floor exercise properly! Lots of good resource to read and watch to explain what your body needs to do to rebuild. But you do need to invest time in it. I am half way through and so far so good. However I find it at times a bit boring or too slow. I am used to weight lifting and I find myself wanting to challenge myself more and needed to skip few modules.
I also find that the webpage navigation is a bit tricky and the chat platform is not great. A Facebook closed group for users to share and talk to each other would have been much better! Also don’t understand why there is no app.

Overall I think it is an excellent system and resource and would recommend it. I’m over half way through. It’s great! A few things to keep me from giving it 5 stars:
The videography is lacking. Sometimes it feels like it’s more about the “shot” or look than informational. They are dark and sometimes zoom in on random parts of the model’s body which takes away from actually having an accurate visual of the exercise.
The music during the intensives is awful!
Lastly, I felt some of the articles were too broad and general. For example, the diastasis recti video and test, I think it could be much more helpful to describe having pelvis in neutral and not engaging muscles when testing. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere and affects the test accuracy. And walking everyday, yes I absolutely see the importance and fight to make it happen every day. But there isn’t much guidance of what to do when you’re home alone all day with a toddler and baby, for example, and it’s winter. I take them out often but can’t easily go alone (without stroller or carrier). I saw this come up a lot in the discussion forum.

I've always enjoyed staying fit and it was no different during pregnancy (my first)-I continued eating healthily and working out throughout. Despite that, after a C-section I found my body and mind unrecognizable. Weak, lacking energy, with a fair diastasis recti and lower back pain, preventing me from fully enjoying these first few weeks of motherhood. Chatting to friends-fellow mums-kept me going and one of them suggested physiotherapy. That however became near impossible to arrange during the pandemic so I started my Google search for exercises I could do at home and this is how I came across MUTU. The first thing I found very reassuring was the approval from the NHS. I knew that choosing the wrong type of exercise at this stage could make the diastasis worse. I embarked on the 12 week programme full of hope and I never looked back. It started off with gentle exercise and useful tips on the technique and diet. It explained well the processes happening in a postpartum body. Gradually increasing the intensity of the workouts helps to build up the strength without feeling overwhelmed and regular emails from Wendy kept me going, even on a bad day. After completing the programme I feel so much better about myself, more in control of my own body, more energetic and positive. My back doesn't hurt and my tummy is much flatter, I don't lose my breath when climbing stairs. My diastasis needs a bit more time to fully heal so I'm continuing with the programme-week 15 now:)
I definitely recommend MUTU to all new mums, as difficult as it sometimes can be to find the time and energy to exercise, try your best, it's worth it. When you're happier your baby will be as well!

I am halfway (6 weeks) through the program. This is the first time I have felt "hopeful" in healing my diastasis. I feel much stronger in my core, and pelvic floor, since starting this program. It took me a few weeks to really have that aha moment (when I could feel my pelvic floor was strong enough to really engage the movements). I think this program would be extremely helpful for those with leakage problems. I am still waiting to see more progress on the depth of my DR, but I feel hopeful, especially since feeling my pelvic floor getting so much stronger. This program definitely takes time, but as with any workout or weight loss program, that is the right way to heal and make permanent changes. I have not "healed" my DR, but I am hopeful and happy to feel more like myself again.

This program was really helpful! The fact that I could go at my own pace and even stop and start again a few times (because that it how it is sometimes!) helped me to stick with it. I really appreciate that I have all the videos for life - I can come back to it anytime I am feeling the need to strengthen my abs in a safe way. I had an upper diastasis recti that went undetected by several professionals but, the advice and exercises from the mutu program worked for me.

I love Mutu! I am on week 3 and I already feel like it's working. It also motivates me to get some exercise in the comfort of my home during these cold winter days. The exercises are short enough that it makes it possible with a busy work schedule. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone.

So far so good - but it's definitely something you have to commit to, you can't just do a bit here and there and expect it to work. Women's bodies take a battering after having children and the muscles need constant reminder of where they are supposed to be and not where they want to be 😬
I'm looking forward to completing the program and seeing the final results.
