Hey, Killer Bs, let’s talk about your PELVIC PROLAPSE! ? I know, right? But seriously, here’s the scoop: prolapse (and other common issues like low back pain and incontinence) is caused by weak pelvic floor muscles.
In fact, your pelvic floor muscles are related to EVERYTHING you do, so strengthening them is vital to your overall health.
Thankfully, it’s also surprisingly simple and takes just five minutes a day. Pelvic floor muscles are part of your deep core stabilizers, which means that when they’re strong, your whole body can get stronger. (Plus, you know, your organs can stay where they belong…)
The easy floor exercises in this video are gentle enough for any fitness level.
