Pilates is one of the MOST effective ways to strength your pelvic floor. Here's why, and why that matters. ⬇️
Pilates works and strengthens your entire core from all angles, which includes the pelvic floor. 💪 (If you didn't know, the pelvic floor is made up of the muscles + tissues within your pelvis, which support various organs and vital internal functions!)
No matter your age or stage of life, maintaining a healthy pelvic floor is also crucial to developing a strong core, preventing back pain, and avoiding other challenging symptoms.
Keep up the great work and know that you are building strength and making progress each time you roll out your mat.

Is this good for when if you have weak pelvic muscles or is there other exercises to do with this one like core exercises?
Hi Alison - This workout is fantastic workout for strengthening pelvic muscles! Pilates is ideal for strengthening your core muscles, so any of the workouts will help to strengthen your core. Here are a few workouts you may want to try first:"Quick Pilates Ab Workout" th-cam.com/video/M08wyfquues/w-d-xo.html, "Pilates for Pelvic Floor" th-cam.com/video/h25xnqmTkaY/w-d-xo.html "Quick Pilates Core Workout" th-cam.com/video/W5V6UaDXqIE/w-d-xo.html
I’ve just come across your channel. Can you tell me, should we be actively contracting (doing kegels) when exhaling? Thank you. 🙏
Hi Zoey, we encourage you to focus on the movement first. When you get comfortable with that you can add in focusing on breathing and recommend exhaling when contacting with kegels. For additional tips on breathing, you may find this blog post by Robin helpful: thebalancedlifeonline.com/pilates-breathing-tips/ 🙂
@@wearelindywell thank you so much for replying. I will keep practising this workout and will read the blog post. I have been enjoying your videos, this one is now on my regular workout list. 🙏

Can i do these exercises in first trimester
Congratulations on your little one on the way - what a gift. 💗 We always recommend that you listen to your body and listen to your health care professionals first. Most women need to start modifying around 13-15 weeks.
I am uters prolpse patient shall i do this excersise
We're sorry that you have prolapse but glad that you're being mindful of your body and your needs. It is difficult for us to make recommendations without knowing your unique situation. We would recommend speaking your your doctor or a physical therapist to determine the most personalized recommendations and modifications for you. You can even bring this workout to a session for even more individualized recommendations. We hope that Lindywell can continue to be a supportive resource for you!
Will these help with having a leaky bowe!?
Pilates is fantastic for strengthening your core muscles, which include the muscles of the pelvic floor. Depending on the cause of your leaky bowel, Pilates may be helpful. It's difficult for us to make a personalized recommendation without knowing your unique body and situation, so we recommend speaking with your doctor or a physical therapist about the best way to proceed forward with a Pilates routine. We're cheering you on in your health journey!
How often a week do you do this?
We always recommend that you listen to your body and do what feels best for you! The great thing about Lindywell is that you always have choices. You can choose from over 300 workouts in the workout library, but if you don't want to be overwhelmed by choosing a workout each day, you can follow the workout calendar provided for you, which includes workouts Monday to Friday, with the weekends left blank so you can rest or enjoy a workout of your choice from the calendar or library! We'd love to invite you to give it a try with a free, 14-day trial here: hubs.la/Q01gZDhV0
Will these exercises help weak bladder muscles
Yes, Julie, they do! Exercising the pelvic floor muscles can help to improve your bladder control and strengthen muscles. We recommend speaking with your doctor or a physical therapist about any specific questions, as we know every body is different and every situation is unique. We're cheering you on!
@@wearelindywell Thanks going to make a start 😊
When I inhale, should I blow my stomach out
Great question! When you take a deep breath, you want to inhale into your diaphragm, expanding your rib cage front to back and side to side. When exhaling, imagine you are slowly blowing up a balloon, drawing your belly button to your spine and lifting your pelvic floor. I hope this helps! :)
