Whole woman exercises

Body: 

I have been doing the Whole Woman exercises for one month. Is it normal to have some aching in the lower abdomen? Am I maybe not doing exercises correctly or too aggressively?

Hi and welcome, Iris,

It's impossible for anyone to know, not being able to see and evaluate what you are doing.

We don't hear of abdominal aching beyond basic muscle soreness. Yes, by all means slow down and see if the soreness subsides.

Wish I could be of more help, but until I have an army of teachers, all I can do is put the WW posture and exercises out there and wish women all the best.

Wishing you well,

Christine

Christine,

Thank you for your reply. In rereading what I wrote and your reply, I used the wrong word for my question. It is more of a pulling that I feel not pain. I do have a rectocele and cystocele so it wonderful to have an alternative to surgery. Posture is becoming easier everyday. I am loving your dvd and all the information it provides. I will be going out of the country for a month and my dvd player and your dvd will be traveling with me!

Hi Iris,
I'm not Christine but if it is a tinderness in your abdomen, I was bothered with the same thing for a long period of time. It wasn't due to any exercises and I now believe it was more my digestive system than the POP. Anyway, about a month ago I started eating live organic yogurt at least once a day and my tinderness left in less than a week and has not returned. I believe the yogurt made things right. I also use it as a lubricant for my POP and that has been helped too. I buy the plain then I can mix my own fresh, frozen or canned fruit with it. Another little trick that I do is sprinkle flavored gelatin in it. I know the flavored gelatins aren't the healthiest things but they can help you get use to the natural yogurt taste if you are someone that really doesn't care for it.
