Holding your breath during workouts might feel normal⌠but your body notices it more than you think đŹď¸
When you hold your breath to lift, push, or power through movement, pressure builds inside your core system. That pressure has to go somewhere â and you donât want your pelvic floor to be the weakest link.
Over time, this can contribute to symptoms like leaking, heaviness, or feeling disconnected from your core.
Itâs not about avoiding effort â itâs about learning how to use breath to support it.
When breath, core, and pelvic floor work together, movement becomes more efficient and more supported.
đŹ Save this if youâve ever been told to âjust brace harderâ đŹď¸đŞđ§
