are like flossing, it’s something we should be doing every day, , but often skip. We caught up with Jane Wake, fitness professional and pelvic floor expert to find out more about the pelvic floor exercises we really should make time for.These very important muscles support all the muscles in your pelvis area including your womb, bowels and bladder, which is why it's so important to take care of them.When we think of the core, we often think of the superficial core, i.
I like to refer to this all-important inner core unit as the ‘3D core’. It is made up of the diaphragm at the top; the deep abdominal muscles at the sides; the transversus abdominis ; the multifidus, which runs up your back; and the pelvic floor, which sits at the base of the 3D core. The pelvic floor muscles are quite possibly our body’s biggest unsung heroes. They are shaped like a hammock to hold the pelvic organs – the uterus, bowel, vagina and
– in place. In a nutshell a strong pelvic floor means everything is kept firmly in place and you should have full control over when, where and how often you visit the loo.The easiest way to feel your pelvic floor muscles in action is when you're on the loo. As you pee, try to stop the flow of urine for a few seconds. The muscles you use to stop them are your pelvic floor muscles.
Rather than holding in a real wee, try holding in an imaginary one, practising the same motion as you did on the loo as if you're stopping the flow of pee. It's a similar sort of movement to how you'd squeeze your bottom if holding a poo, which might work if you find it easier to think of this feeling instead.to help strengthen your pelvic floorThis is perhaps the easiest way to keep your muscles in check.
