I'm on a mission to educate as many women as possible on the importance of core + pelvic floor strengthening throughout motherhood to menopause.

A bespoke women’s health & exercise company providing both exercise programs and education for core rehabilitation, core strengthening and diastasis recti management during pregnancy, postpartum recovery and peri - post menopause. Exercise safely under my guidance either in-person or virtually, within a group setting or solo. None of my programmes are generic, you have my full support throughout your journey.

☀️☀️

The suns finally out & evenings are lighter...you want to get your trainers on and hit the streets but is your pelvic floor strength holding you back?

Worrying about leaking can really get in the way of your exercise goals but don’t give up hope just yet -

Despite popular belief, running isn’t inherently bad for your pelvic floor..

With that said, the way you run can significantly alter the amount of stress placed on your pelvic floor muscles.

To find out how your running form can affect pelvic floor symptoms and advice on getting back into running after a break, check out my blog - linked in the bio.

👉 Your diaphragm and pelvic floor are a team, they’re designed to move together in perfect synch.

👉 If you’re holding your breath or sucking in during a workout, you’ll create internal pressure that has nowhere to go..

👉 This pressure will likely follow the path of least resistance:

👉 Downwards on the pelvic floor (leading to heaviness or leaking)
👉 Outwards against the abdominal wall (leading to a more server diastasis recti)

👉 So you can be doing 100 planks a day but if you’re not breathing properly, you’ll not be training your core to support you - hence wasting your time!

👉 I tend to go pretty heavy when cueing breath during sessions as it’s super important to your practice.

👉 I also encourage my clients to be more mindful of how they’re breathing during day to day tasks.

❤️ Small changes to the way you breathe can make a huge difference to your symptoms (leaking, pelvic heaviness, back pain) and quality of life. ❤️

Are you feeling exhausted after the half term break?!

Schedule time tomorrow to move your body - taking time to exercise isn’t only about ‘getting your body back’ - it’s about getting your MIND back.

When you feel strong, capable & calm, everyone around you feels the difference.

Self care isn’t selfish; it’s how you show up as the best version of yourself ❤️

👉 You don’t need to wait until the 6 week mark to start building back your core & pelvic floor connections…

These simple movements are extremely beneficial at this stage postpartum and will really help your early postnatal recovery:

360 breathing - This is the foundation of your core recovery. It helps reduce that feeling of ‘abdominal pressure’ and is the first step in flattening the tummy naturally by managing how your body handles load.

Pelvic tilt - A great exercise for reducing lower back ache and to realign your pelvis after 9 months of pregnancy posture.

Modified bird - dog - This movement will help build stability as you move. it teaches your core to stay ‘on’ while your arms and legs are moving, protecting you from sudden tweaks and strains.

Side lying clam - These are great for hip and glute strength and to keep your pelvic floor happy.

Glute bridge + squeeze - Creates lower-body strength and pelvic support. By involving your inner thighs, you’re giving your pelvic floor an extra ‘lift’ too.

Doing endless cardio and not seeing results?

Is it leaving you feeling exhausted and drained for the rest of your day?

It sounds like you need to switch it up…

Long periods of cardio can play havoc with your hormones and metabolism especially if you’re 40+.

Try doing shorter workouts instead, aiming for exercises that balance and strengthen your body rather than depleting it.

These 5 back to back will do the trick…

1 min each and 3 rounds through - tell me if you don’t raise a sweat?!

👉👉

Exercising in the postpartum period is bloody tough!!

You’re navigating a body that doesn’t feel like your own.

You feel frustrated that your body won’t respond as it used to.

You feel exhausted before you even start the session.

You failed to time your baby’s feed and sleep around the session - now he’s going wild!

It all feels like a lot of pressure but please don’t be hard on yourself, you’re taking those first steps to recovery - this is the beginning of your journey and it’s not going to be like this forever.

My baby friendly courses provide a relaxed space for you to put your worries aside and give your body the movement it craves.

Small class sizes allow you to feel supported, not judged. You can feed, change or soothe your little one as you wish and I’m always up for a cuddle if you need to get in the zone!

I have a few spaces still available for next term’s course (February) details are linked in the bio.

Please contact me directly to book - anna@coreconfident.co.uk
