Exercising

Body: 

First off, I'd like to say I love this forum. I have started some exercises and stopped holding in my stomach, putting my ears over my shoulders, and maintaining curve in lower back! It feels like it is helping me. I have rectecele.

I'd like to know if jogging and weight lifting (nothing crazy) is good for maintaining healthy pelvic floor.

Thanks,

Hi Farmer2017,
Love this forum also, as it saved this WW!
Good to read that you are having some success with the posture!
Firstly the pelvic floor is an angled pelvic WALL ( not flat floor), from the pubic bone to the anus....In correct WWP the organs are held in front of the pubic bone in the lower belly, protecting them from intra abdominal pressure.
Christine has an exercise program called The Third Wheel in which she addresses jogging the Whole Woman way with demonstration and much useful information.
In other exercise programs, optional with the Chair exercises in Save Your Hips light wrist weights can be used.
Ankle weights are used in the First Aid for Prolapse exercise program.
I did experiment with weights a bit like the baton and found that it compromised the beautiful lengthening of the body and made my pop worse....
What is one of the wonderful results of Christine's approach is her use of the baton, which is useful for lengthening and strengthening the abdominal wall. I don't need anything heavier.
Walking and running strengthen and lengthen the whole muscular and fascia of the body including the upper back which is all related to pelvic organ support! She has some arm exercises in the running and walking information in the 3rd wheel DVD as well that explains and demonstrates this.
I hope this helps,
All the best,
