Focusing on stimulating the hips and shoulders will automatically provide a deep well of support and stability.  I recommend using between 1lb-3lb weights.  One of the great thing about weights is that as long as you can A.) Grasp it B.) Lift it  -then it is a great weight to use.  You can utilize bottles of water, canned goods, rocks, branches or anything that you find laying around your environment.

The Pelvic floor is located between your Tail Bone, Sitz Bones, & Pubic Bone. It is essential that you are aware of being able to contract your pelvic floor without also contracting other areas (not tensing your jaw/tongue, not making fists, not squeezing your Backside or legs, etc...). We covered this emphasis in the prior episode called "Pelvic Floor Exercises".   This practice may be performed while walking -but can just as successfully be practiced most anywhere that you can maintain safety and correct emphasis.

We all have feelings.  However, when we exercise we sometimes overlook or forget to keep an open dialogue with how we are feeling.  It takes a lot of practice to become aware of not only our feelings, but then also what to do about them.  Ignoring things that are uncomfortable or numb is the short term path of least resistance that can lead to long term road blocks in the future.  In this episode I discuss why emotions are important and underscore the value of listening to how you feel and forging your own path.
