Strength Training: Your Pelvic Floor’s Best Friend

We’re taught that Kegels are your pelvic floor’s only ally. But guess what? Strength training (yes, lifting actual weights!) might be the best thing you can do for true pelvic floor support. 

Full-body strength work stabilizes your core, boosts balance, and lessens strain on your pelvic organs—all while helping you feel more confident in your own skin.
 

In fact, studies have found that these exercises are MORE effective for pelvic floor strengthening than kegels.

  • Bridges

  • Lunges

  • Bear planks

  • Squats

  • Clamshells

A full body approach is the secret for having a healthy pelvic floor for a very long time.
