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?🙋‍♀️P.101

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 + functional exercise instead!🤯

High impact classes, cardio, and lifting are soooo fun (and I can’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 it’s 15 min of exercise😅

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 pp!

I’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!⬇️

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!🔥
