To Kegal or not to Kegal - Core Fitness for Moms

Описание: To Kegel or not to Kegel that is the question.
And this is a hotly debated topic. So naturally, the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
For some women, cueing a kegel is detrimental and will make them worse, for others, it's the best thing ever.
The thing I want you to keep in mind is that when cueing a kegel during general exercise we don't want the pelvic floor go overboard.

If the exercise is easy, match the pelvic floor cue with a gentle exhale.
If the exercise is hard, the exhale will be hard and the pelvic floor contraction will need to be more.

Now, that being said, sometimes during exercise is an awesome time to focus on strengthening the pelvic floor, for example breathing exercises, or integrated core exercises.

So, if the goal is build muscle, then go ahead. But, treat it like you would any other max contraction in the body. We wouldn't want to do it all day long. That leads to overuse related injuries.
