Can you KEGEL to the beat of this song?!🙋♀️⬇️
KEGEL coordination is just as important as strength (if not more!) as well as flexibility!🤯⬇️
Did you know the pelvic floor is made up of 70% slow-twitch type 1 fibers and 30% fast-twitch type 2 fibers⁉️
Practice activating the fast twitch fibers with this video (make sure you feel the pelvic floor lengthen back down too!)✅
You need LENGTH & STRENGTH!
Most of us have been told to strengthen using KEGELS (not always the case for people) but remember it’s not just about the strength but also speed of activation and endurance❗️
KEGELS are about CONTROL not just STRENGTH❗️
Do you suffer from STRESS incontinence or LEAKING with activities in your daily life? The pelvic floor needs to react quickly (FAST twitch) to close the urethra to support a quick movement, jump, laugh, sneeze, or cough. Practicing FAST TWITCH activation of the pelvic floor will combat these forces to avoid PEEING your pants❗️
It’s important to strengthen and LENGTHEN your pelvic floor every day to maintain good lumbopelvic posture, urinary function, bowel function, and sexual function! You brush your teeth and wash your face everyday right? Just spending 5 minutes a day on your pelvic floor can make short and long term changes that improve your quality of life and prevent future issues!✅
