Kegels Myth! Try This Instead (especially if you have RIB FLARE!) #doctor #health #pregnancy #mom



Do you want to workout but have no time because you take care of your kids 24/7?šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļøP.101

OR maybe you donā€™t have kiddos and still have a hard time getting a workout in (sometimes you need to rest too)! Itā€™s time to do some ā€œpelvic floor snacksā€!šŸ˜‹ā¬‡ļø

AND STOP the KEGELS and START the functional exercise! Most people donā€™t need kegels but stretching + functional exercise instead!šŸ¤Æ

High impact classes, cardio, and lifting are soooo fun (and I canā€™t lie I miss being able to workout for 1-2 hours) BUT being a full time mom and trying to also run my business gives me limited time to myself so most days itā€™s 15 min of exercisešŸ˜…

If you are someone that has NO time to workout or a busy schedule then donā€™t worry you arenā€™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!)ā¤ļø

There are a variety of factors that you just canā€™t control during pregnancy, labor, and postpartumā€¦(like an emergency c-section)ā¬‡ļø

So it is important to focus on all the things you can control like EXERCISE! Itā€™s important to prepare mentally, and physically for whatever comes your way. Thatā€™s why I recommend patients see or talk with a pelvic floor PT at least once during pregnancy and again pp!

Iā€™m 10 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!ā¬‡ļø

In video doing LE supported pelvic tilts with resistance band abduction hold 3-5 sec during exhale for 8-12 reps x 1-3 sets!šŸ”„
