![From first glance, you may think I’m just chilling out with a baby and his fur-sister on my lap, watching Netflix, hanging out on my phone. BUT NO!
.
I’m actually exercising! Because I don’t want my fanny to fall out in the future 😶 Just because we can’t see some of the muscles we’re working out, doesn’t mean they’re not just as, if not more important to spend time exercising. Especially before and after having a baby (yes, even if you have a C Section!)
.
Pelvic floor exercises can seem boring but they’re essential. They’re essential for preventing incontinence (no one wants to have to avoid the trampoline. And whilst we don’t HAVE to trampoline, we’ll all succumb to the odd sneeze every now and again and we don’t want that to be a [literal] dampener on our social life).
.
Everyone always talks about getting your pelvic floor exercises in after birth but it’s equally as important to do them before. The growing weight and size of the baby stretches the pelvic floor muscle so it doesn’t work as effectively but the good news is it can be re-strengthened with a few simple exercises. And now is always a good time to start them!
.
➕ Squeeze your pelvic floor for 7-12 regular pulses, making sure your glutes are relaxed (imagine you’re activating the muscles you would use to stop seeing mid-flow).
➕ Squeeze and hold your pelvic floor for 7 seven seconds, breathing as you go before fully relaxing. Repeat 3-5 times. ➕ Slowly squeeze from ‘back’ to ‘front’ (imagine, and there’s no nice way to put it, squeezing the muscles which stop you pooing before moving on to squeeze the muscles which stop you weeing. Repeat 7 times.
.
Do these 1-3 times a day, every day!
.
Good news is you do these whenever, wherever and no one will know... work meetings, at the dentist, whilst on the phone to your family... it’s all cool.](http://scontent-frt3-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/c73092b40f89a11f9a7672838c3ff785/5B9F45AC/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/31991221_1651284988313121_8063880460645695488_n.jpg "From first glance, you may think I’m just chilling out with a baby and his fur-sister on my lap, watching Netflix, hanging out on my phone.
