Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor might not be something that the mind immediately thinks of when it comes to health and wellness, but that part of your body plays a big role!

The importance of the pelvic floor is often overlooked until it is not working correctly. While pelvic muscles are hidden from view, they can be consciously controlled and therefore trained.

Here are some reasons why the pelvic floor muscles might loosen:

Pregnancy and childbirth
Straining while on the toilet
Chronic coughing
Heavy lifting
High impact exercise
Age
Obesity

Whether or not you've experienced the effects of a weakened pelvic floor, we're all aging, so you'll want to start training these muscles no matter what! Strengthening pelvic health is key to the prevention of incontinence later on. In fact, all women over the age of 30 should be protective of their pelvic floor muscles.

In this class you will learn about the importance of the pelvic floor, how to locate yours, and exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles.
