Pelvic Floor Feeling Condemned? Try These Tips!

Pelvic floor exercises have become increasingly popular

with celebrity wellness gurus in recent years, from Kourtney Kardashian’s “Kegel boxing” to Gwyneth Paltrow’s jade egg. Though this may seem like just another silly trend, the truth is that exercising your pelvic floor properly is one of the best ways to counteract incontinence (involuntary urinating), which is caused by a weak pelvic floor.

Our muscles naturally weaken as we age, and the pelvic floor is no exception.

The good news is that there are a number of effective, low-impact workout routines that you can do to specifically target your pelvic floor muscles. Take a look at the guide from Rory below for workout instructions, breathing practices to incorporate into your routine, and tips for following the pelvic floor diet.

    I will have to try some of these! My body could always use a good stretch. I always try to drink plenty of water.

    I work out almost everyday but never work on my pelvic floor muscles. This is a great primer to start on being my best self inside and out.

    I can definitely use these tips. I am sure my pelvic floor could use some help. After having children it’s not nearly as strong as it used to be. I always pray when I’m sneezing that nothing happens LOL.

    I never tried working out my pelvic floor. Looking forward to giving this a try, and potentially adding it to my routine.

    I was first introduced to pelvic floor exercises when I gave birth. I watched videos on YouTube showing tutorials and I was able to follow some for strengthening.

    The pelvic floor is so important! Doing the right things to keep is strong is important when you age and especially if you’ve had kids.

    I do these often and I can really feel a difference in that area. My hips will hurt from aging but these moves really help relieve the pain. And no more sodas for me!!!
