1. Planks
Either you love doing planks (because you’re a rockstar at them) or you absolutely loathe them. Love it or hate it, this exercise is one of the techniques you can try to strengthen your core and in turn, engage your pelvic floor.
2. Squats
You know what makes a strong pelvic floor? A stronger butt. That’s why squats are ideal in strengthening your pelvic floor. Just be sure you’re aligning yourself with the correct form.
3. Lunges
Similar to the squat, lunges engage both your glutes and core at the same time. You can try a variation of lunges and be on your way to creating a supportive foundation.
4. Bridges
Activate your pelvic floor by lying on your back and raising your hips to the ceiling. Remember to take deep breaths as you slowly do a few reps of these. This popular yoga pose helps with spine alignment, too!
5. Deep breathing
When our pelvic floor is constantly tense, it weakens. So, some of us actually need to work on relaxing the muscles. Give your pelvic floor a break and learn how to practice mindful, deep breathing exercise called diaphragmatic breathing.
