Episode Summary:
As we age, many of us notice how quickly muscle tone diminishes, and weight hangs around longer. While routine exercise is something we’ll practice to keep our fitness in check, the muscles of the pelvic floor are often forgotten.
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.
Not only is it crucial to regularly work at strengthening the pelvic muscles, but you must also be sure that you’re working them correctly! Many people spend too much time exercising only to find out they haven’t even been using the right muscles. Don’t make this mistake. Join me to learn how to properly locate your pelvic floor to ensure your hard work pays off.
