Beyond Kegels: Training Your Pelvic Floor Right


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood areas of women’s health — the pelvic floor.

Most people think Kegels are the answer. They’re easy, discrete, and you can do them lying down — but here’s the truth: Kegels are just a drop in the bucket.

Your pelvic floor is the bottom of your pelvis, a foundational part of your core that works in tandem with your diaphragm, abs, and back to support your organs, stabilize your pelvis, and respond to movement.

We break down:

  • Why targeted Kegel work alone often isn’t enough

  • How tight pelvic floor muscles can limit strength and mobility

  • The importance of responsive pelvic floor training — both slow holds and quick, controlled contractions

  • Why training your pelvic floor in different positions, not just lying down, is crucial

  • 5 exercises to integrate your core and pelvic floor for real-world function

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand that pelvic floor health isn’t just about holding — it’s about movement, responsiveness, and integration with your whole body.
