Poor posture, mom pouch, hip pain, back pain, and incontinence are some of the signs your pelvic floor isn't as strong as it could be. I'm no stranger to this. Let's say I need extra protection when we're headed to the jump park.
Of course, blaming the three babies I birthed for the struggle while giggling with my friends at the absurdity of incontinence.
But the truth of the matter is, Kegels are a struggle. I along with much of the population fail to practice Kegels regularly, let alone the correct form. But my posture seems to be worsening and my hip pain is intense at times. No matter how much I workout that mom pouch is still there.
This got me thinking, what is the exact culprit, the source behind it all? It's your pelvic floor which is the core and linkage point that when strong can impact your entire body.
Today on the podcast I'm interviewing a pelvic floor expert, MaryEllen Reider on:
- How to strengthen your pelvic floor
- The proper way to do Kegels
- If it will get rid of the mom pouch and help my posture
And so much more! It's a great episode and dives into pelvic floor health for both men and women.
