We never can predict what's going to happen in the background. :)
I use enemas, pilates and yoga for pelvic floor and pelvic health.
Thank you very much for this! I would love the 20 minute core workout , but the link is broken.
Thank you very much. I can feel the difference. How often should I do them?
Great!
Very helpful sequence. Please do more like this video 😍
The video is great. Just not sure is it mean that we need to lift the pelvic floor when exhale, but slightly lower the pelvic floor when inhale? Or we need to hold lifting the pelvic floor when we inhale and exhale throughout the exercises?

We wouldn't focus too much on when you are inhaling and exhaling, instead we would suggest imagining wrapping your deep core muscles around your trunk to engage your entire core, then imagining the bottom of your pelvic floor like a hammock or elevator that you can slowly raise and lower. Another analogy is to imagine that you're drinking a smoothie through a straw in your vaginal muscles. :)
Are you supposed to be squeezing and releasing your pelvic floor throughout all of these moves?

I believe so because she says in the beginning that squeezing and releasing are both important.
I did exercise at the 4:51 minutes part, my tummy doesn’t feel anything but my legs are very sore, is that normal? Am I doing it right?

Hi! This is common when you are using your thigh muscles instead of your core to do the exercise. You will feel a difference as you continue to do this workout and build core strength. Keep it up! :)
How often should I do this and how soon would I see results with my pelvic floor?

Pilates is gentle on your body, so it's a personal decision how often you'd like to workout. Because every body is different and every situation is unique it's hard to say when you'll start seeing results. With consistent practice though, you should start to see results in a few weeks. We're cheering you on! 🙂
Can a Pilates ring aid in pelvic floor exercises?

Hi Scott! A Pilates ring isn't necessary for these exercises. However, the ring can help with exercises where you lift your neck off of the mat (by placing one end of the ring underneath the back of your head and holding the other hand above your face with both hands). 😊
I love your videos. Your analogies are so simple and effective. Thank you!

who knew ellie goulding was a pilates instructor!
My hips start wiggling and shaking, as soon as I lift nu legs. What does this mean? Is this normal? I can't find any information about this.

Hi Hannah, feeling wobbly or unstable is normal! As long as you're following cues to engage your core and maintain good form, you should be fine. Continue to go at your own pace and always modify as needed (such as only lifting the legs as much as is comfortable for you). You got this! 🙂

Both legs in the air are unsafe for pelvic floor prolapse so I’m confused as to why these exercises are included?

Hi and thank you for your concern for practicing Pilates safely. 💕If you have any specific medical conditions regarding your pelvic floor, we recommend speaking with your doctor and/or physical therapist to determine which exercises are safe and recommended for you based on your individual needs. Robin always encourages you to draw your pelvic floor up and in for healthy pelvic floor functioning and a strong core when doing Pilates. We're here for you and cheering you on!💪

Congratulations, Kimberly! This workout isn't specifically for those that are pregnant. So if you are familiar with modifications, feel welcome to modify. If not, search this channel for my Prenatal Pilates series! This is a great one to come back to after you've had the baby. :)

Are these pelvic exercises good after abdominal hysterectomy? (after recovery period of course) or are they more specific pelvic floor exercises to strengthen pelvic floor after hysterectomy.

Hi Silvia - We know that every body is different and every situation is unique, so it is hard to give proper advice. We recommend speaking with your doctor and/or physical therapist to determine which exercises are safe and recommended for you based on your individual needs. It can be helpful to show your medical provider this workout to get specific advice if it's best for you. As you follow the advice of your medical professional, in general, doing pelvic floor exercises like the ones in this workout are great for strengthening the muscles in and around the pelvic floor .
Another awesome video! Thank you Robin! How can I sign up for the 20 min workout?
