Low Impact Cardio for Strong Pelvic Floor - No Leaks During Workout 5
Low Impact Cardio for Strong Pelvic Floor
In this low impact cardio workout video, I focus on exercises that are safe for the pelvic floor. This is the fifth installment in my series, designed to help you get your heart rate up without putting strain on your pelvic muscles.
So, let's start with the basics. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that play a crucial role in our overall health, especially for those of us who engage in physical activity on a regular basis.
Support Your Core
These muscles support our core, help us maintain good posture, and even aid in bladder control. But despite their importance, it's easy to neglect our pelvic floor, and that can lead to issues like incontinence, prolapse, and even pregnancy lower back pain.
One common challenge people face when it comes to pelvic floor strength is that traditional workouts don't always address these issues effectively.
Avoid High Impact Exercises
In fact, high-impact exercises like jumping or running when pregnant can sometimes put additional strain on the pelvic floor, making it harder to strengthen.
Additionally, many people struggle to engage their pelvic floor muscles correctly, which can make exercises like Kegels less effective. And to make matters worse, pelvic floor weakness can be a sensitive topic, making it hard for people to talk about and seek help.
Another challenge is that many of us don't even know where to start when it comes to strengthening our pelvic floor.

We might know that we need to do Kegels, but we're not sure how to do them correctly, or how to incorporate them into our existing workout routine. And on top of that, it can be hard to find exercises that are low-impact and gentle on the joints, but still challenging enough to make a difference.
So, what's the solution? How can we strengthen our pelvic floor without putting additional strain on our bodies? That's where low-impact cardio comes in.
Include Low Impact Exercises
Low-impact cardio is perfect for strengthening the pelvic floor because it's gentle on the joints, but still gets your heart rate up and engages your core muscles.
Exercises like cycling, swimming, and even dance-based workouts are all great options because they're low-impact, but still challenging enough to make a difference.
And the best part is that you can modify these exercises to suit your fitness level, so whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned athlete, you can still benefit from low-impact cardio.
Whether you're recovering from childbirth, dealing with pelvic floor issues, or simply looking for a gentle workout option, this routine is perfect for you.
