Seated Chair Workout for Core and Pelvic Floor Strength

This seated workout is ideal for people with knee pain, and for people who have limited mobility or who sit a lot during the day. Build core strength and improve pelvic health with this seated hips, core, and pelvic floor chair workout!
Safe for people with bladder leakage, prolapse, and other forms of pelvic floor dysfunction. If you have pelvic PAIN or EXCESSIVE PELVIC TENSION, then consider pushing "pause" halfway through the workout and taking a 5-minute break to relax and release your pelvic floor muscles (before finishing the workout).
This workout is *pelvic floor aware* meaning that specific cues are given for breathing and technique. This keeps the workout "pelvic floor friendly" for people with all sorts of pelvic floor issues, including prolapse, bladder leakage, pelvic pain, and other forms of pelvic floor dysfunction. That being said, I can't guarantee that it will be appropriate for your needs. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and will tolerate exercises differently. Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs. Talk to your local pelvic floor physical therapist for individualized medical advice!

This workout is ideal for people with knee pain, and it's safe for bladder leakage, prolapse, and other forms of pelvic floor dysfunction.

    I wish I had found you years ago. Your workouts are helping so much. It's amazing that doctors are so dismissive when women have pelvic floor problems. We're either stressed, mental or making it up! We need to "relax", have a glass of wine, take antidepressants or see a psychologist. Thank God for you and your interest in helping women with pelvic floor issues. There are a lot of us out here. Thank you.

    I'm with you, 100%! 🙌 You are an awesome example of what's possible when you keep moving throughout life. My parents are in their 70's and still running, walking, and exercising every day. Here's what I'd tell your friends: You're never, EVER too old to move your body and feel better. It might not feel good to get moving at first (if they've been sedentary), but start slowly with videos like this seated chair workout... Motion is lotion and movement is medicine. It WORKS if you work it! But on the other hand, if you don't use it, you lose it...

    Hi. I do my pelvic floor exercises every morning. It has helped my stage 2 like a charm. I am much better. Thanks The only problem now is trying to figure out where my gastritis burning stomach is coming from. Then I will be doing 100% better in my health. Oh by the way I feel like the conventional doctors just pass out those acid killing drugs that do more harm. That’s why I am seeing a Naturopathic Doctor…..

    I'm glad to hear that the pelvic floor exercises have been beneficial for you! Regarding your gastritis concerns, working with a Naturopathic Doctor can be a good approach, as they often consider a more holistic perspective. Dietary changes, stress management, and other lifestyle factors can play a significant role in managing gastritis. ~Vibrant Support

    Good for you to seek higher ground, that takes courage. I have dealt with stomach issues alot. Vagus nerve is affected greatly with stomach and pelvic floor as it conects from head downs back spine and all organs, especially pelvic floor. Diaphragm weakness affects stomach . Search B12 and stomach issues. B12 also has difficulty absorbing in stomach if low stomach acid . Information is key to our healing. I am working on deep belly breathing ,for tension . Emotions are also big issue with stomach digestion . I am learning to not trying to e angry at everyone and just learn to respond with peace. Fight or flight or rest digest. Start listening to how your body responds to your days. Find your flow of peace, find out what tenses you and learn to blow it out before!!!!!!! You express it in your mouth words. Hope I have helped. Your not alone, and healing is your place to walk and embrace . Peace!
