When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Work out
Hi Denise
Yep, the workout is in the book, and the tailored music that fits it (if you can get your head around it) is on a CD in a pocket at the back of the book (2nd edition). This is a ballet workout. The DVD is a more static (isometric?) workout. Both make me sweat, but not bucketloads. They are both very slow, controlled and quite challenging, because they are about using particular muscles and body awareness. I wouldn't really consider them a cardio workout. They are to benefit the positioning of your pelvic organs and get you using the right muscles so your everyday Wholewoman posture can do its everyday work in keeping the pelvic organs where they belong. These workouts are not designed to build cardio-vascular fitness or burn calories. Hey, you're not strange. It's horses for courses. No workout is perfect for everything. What the Wholewoman workout will hopefully do is allow you to get back to your running and make your more aware of your body prolapse-wise while you are running.
Cheers
Louise

the ballet workout
the ballet workout doesn't make me sweat, but it leaves me sore for a day or two. I'm extremely out of shape, and it calls on all the muscles I'm too lazy to use. It feels goooooood.
for sweat, I like to run. nothing beats running,imo. too bad for me I have arthritis so I pretty much stick with walking. but its not the same as a good run.

buy the book
my advice is to buy the book, make sure its the second edition
the ballet workout is in there, as well as the firebreathing exercise which I personally found invaluable.
the book also teaches the posture, and describes the anatomy, how prolapses develop, how they can be prevented, managed, etc
I keep reading it over and over and learn something new each time I read it.

sweat
I’m dripping with sweat after every workout. This may be because I must talk throughout and also perfect the movements in order to be an example for others. But really…if you look at any video footage of serious ballet dancers, they too are sweating profusely at the barre. Try lifting your leg a little higher, moving the rest of your body a little less, and performing the movements in a relaxed yet highly controlled way and I bet you will break into a good sweat too. :-)
