Save this superb exercise that also happens to be amazing for your pelvic floor!
Definitely hold onto a wall or a chair if you feel at all off balance.
You might notice, as many people do, that one side is much harder than the other. Especially if you followed my cue to get your hips to tip off to the side opposite of the leg that is lifting.
💡This is due to a discrepancy in strength and balanced tone in the torso, hips, glutes and core.
We all have it to some degree but knowing about your unique preferences is a portal into resolving issues, like prolapse, incontinence, pelvic pain, low back pain, diastasis recti.
This exercise is wonderful for your pelvic floor because your pelvic floor greatly depends on the strength and mobility of your hips and your glutes. Trying to strengthen the pelvic floor without actually working on the entire system around it is not really an effective approach.
Try it and let me know what you find!
