When it comes to your fitness routine, exercises that strengthen your pelvic floor muscles probably aren’t at the top of your list. But they should be! A strong pelvic floor will help improve your core strength and stability, reduce your risk of incontinence and improve your sexual health.
So, what exactly is your pelvic floor? Basically, it’s made up of the muscles, ligaments, tissues and nerves that support your bladder, uterus, vagina and rectum. Your pelvic floor muscles also form the base of your wider core muscle group (ie., abdominals, back muscles, diaphragm). Before we get into how to make your pelvic floor strong, it’s important to learn how to access and isolate it. You can do that with Kegels. Below are four simple steps to get started:
It is important to note that you should not make a habit of using Kegel exercises to start and stop urination. This practice will only lead to a risk of urinary tract infection. Step one above is merely to help you identify the pelvic floor muscles when you first start doing Kegels. Once you have your Kegels perfected, you can graduate to the four exercises demonstrated by our Personal Trainer, Sherry Kresky, in the Pelvic Floor Exercises video on the Inspired by Fitness YouTube channel. After you’re done, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more fitness challenges, tutorials and workouts! Pelvic Floor Exercises YouTube link: https://youtu.be/IYXIpcMFb_ |
