Welcome to 5 Minute Friday - your weekly wellness pep talk! Today we are talking to Antonietta Vicario - Chief Training Officer at PVOLVE all about the pelvic floor and answering the question, should I be working my pelvic floor?

Antonietta shares, your pelvic floor is the set of muscles that help support the pelvic organs, and more importantly, can help give your body the balance and stability it requires for daily life movements. While the pelvic floor is often overlooked in most workouts - Antonietta shares insights into what exactly your pelvic floor is and why it is essential to focus on these muscles. 

Tune in for a quick 5-min pep talk on:

- What is the pelvic floor, and why is it important for women to pay attention to

- Answering the question, 'at what age should I be paying more attention to my pelvic floors' on your pelvic floor?'

This is part 1 of our 4-part Pelvic Floor Series with PVOLVE. Next week we will be back with Antonietta to focus on the top exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor.
