on your abdomen with your fingertips across your
midline-parallel with your waistline at the level of
your belly button.

about 8 inches from the supporting surface.
Precaution
If at any time (weeks, months, years later) you notice the gap
returning, just repeat this exercise to decrease it.
Poorly executed abdominal exercises can cause an increase in intraabdominal pressure, this force may cause further recti separation and
its accompanying bulge/hernia to worsen.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid all activities that place stress on the midline, that stretch
or overly expand the abdominal wall.i.e
Yoga postures that stretch the abs, such as cow pose, up-dog, all back-bends,
and belly breathing.
Abdominal exercises that work the exterior abdominal muscles, such as crunches
and oblique curls.
Exercises that cause the abdominal wall to bulge out upon exertion.
