Can you feel your pelvic floor lift and your deep core activate when you do this?!⬇️
If you struggle with pelvic floor and low belly weakness and issues like I mentioned above then try this exercise instead of kegels!🔥
Hold 3-5 sec x 12 reps 1-3 sets & exhale as you pull to engage deep core and pelvic floor!🙌⬇️
Do you want to workout but have no time because you take care of your kids 24/7?🙋♀️P.64
OR maybe you don’t have kiddos and still have a hard time getting a workout in (sometimes you need to rest too)! It’s time to do some “pelvic floor snacks”!😋⬇️
AND STOP the KEGELS and START the functional exercise! Most people don’t need kegels but stretching or functional exercise instead!🤯
If you are someone that has NO time to workout or a busy schedule then don’t worry you aren’t alone! Best MOM HACK I have discovered for this issue is working out with your kiddos and doing EXERCISE SNACKS! (Obviously the more kids you have the harder it gets so be patient w/ your healing journey!)❤️
There are a variety of factors that you just can’t control during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum…(like an emergency c-section)⬇️⬇️⬇️
So it is important to focus on all the things you can control like EXERCISE! It’s important to prepare mentally, and physically for whatever comes your way. That’s why I recommend patients see or talk with a pelvic floor PT at least once during pregnancy and again postpartum!
I’m 6 months post VBAC here doing the SAME exercises I used to keep me healthy and protect my belly and pelvic floor before and after my pregnancy!⬇️
