Belly Fat Burning Exercises
Excessive fat around the waist can strain your pelvic floor and make it challenging to control urine, feces, and wind. Therefore, if you have trouble managing any of these or feel pain in your backside during specific movements, try these stretches by Alex Miller.
Breathing Techniques
While Kegels are an essential and necessary part of pelvic floor care, other exercises can help you have better bladder control. Breathing exercises help steady your breathing, which increases the ease with which you use your pelvic floor muscles. Moreover, breathing correctly is the first step toward regaining bladder control.
Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises are named after a gynecologist who developed them in the 1940s to help women with urinary incontinence. More than 70 years later, Kegel exercises have gained popularity for preventing and treating urinary incontinence, improving sexual pleasure, increasing bladder control, and strengthening pelvic floor muscles.
Furthermore, doing Kegel exercises regularly (every day, preferably) can help prevent urinary incontinence and other problems that arise with aging.
Core Exercises
The core is connected to every muscle in your body, including those surrounding your spinal column. So a stable core can aid in proper posture, support for the spine and pelvis, improved balance and stability, better movement control and coordination, and reduced risk of injury and back pain.
You can use free weight workouts to strengthen your trunk muscles to build a strong core. Therefore, Alex has included core exercises to improve your stomach and back muscles.
They're designed to mobilize fat in your abdominal muscles and improve your range of motion. All of these motions in the program have been proven to reduce intra-abdominal pressure for women with a high BMI.
