Your core/trunk is a transfer station for everything that goes on in the body. Running dramatically increases the amount of force through the core, pelvic floor and legs. Starting running too soon can wreak havoc on your pelvic floor (PF). Its primary job is to keep that baby in and then
afterwards to keep your insides ... well ... in. Think of it as a hammock that holds your bladder and reproductive organs in and attaches to the front and back of your pelvis. These muscles work all day long. 24/7. They work in conjunction with the TA to stabilize the core. Any insufficiencies in these muscles can cause pain, incontinence and
altered movement. A study by Poswiata in 2014, found that 45.54% of the 112 elite female endurance athletes (runners and cross-country skiers) polled, suffered from incontinence. It is so common ladies!
A feel good workout! We will build heat through cardiovascular moves to make our muscles pliable, all while elevating the heart rate. Then we sprinkle in active stretches your body will love!
We spend ~20-40 minutes exercising, but the other 600 minutes a day are even more important. If you spend a lot of time sitting in a chair, these six stretches are for you!
Elevate your heart rate in a low to medium impact workout. Go barefoot to work your joints/muscles in a different way. This workout is for all levels, with 10 timed exercises, you decide on a fast or steady pace. No equipment needed.
