So ladies today I want to chat about Pelvic Floor Muscles!
Being a prenatal yoga teacher I teach students all the time about how to locate the PF, what it does and how to activate and relax them.
So after having 2 children myself I know they can weaken if I don't work with them. Recently I have been sneezing particularly fiercely, damn you pollen 🙈 and have noticed my PF was not as strong as I thought it was. So keen as I am to practice what I preach! I had to rectify this issue. So... I bet your wondering how did it go?? Well after just 1 week of practicing regularly when ever I could I noticed a dramatic improvement. No more stress leakage! Which is not only embarrassing but also can be quite stressful worrying as to when it might happen.
So to conclude I can not stress enough, excuse the pun! It is vital to work the PF daily to keep those muscles working effectively and leading to a much happier you.
You can do them anywhere.🌞
I normally teach 2 sets 3 X each set
Locate them between the a**s and va**na opening.
The feeling you want is as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine and breaking wind at the same time
Breathing in pulling back up and in and Pulse...
10 quick pulses
3 X 10 sec holds
Relaxing fully between each set.
It is as important to relax inbetween as it it to hold.
You want to be able to fully relax when birthing your baby and relaxing the PF will help this. 💖 Enjoy your dad 👌
