In my last featured blog I explained the purpose of our champion pelvic floor muscles and five factors that put them under pressure. The final point in that article is that exercise is one of several factors that can increase intra-abdominal pressure, which puts pressure on our pelvic floor muscles. This presents us with a dilemma because it’s vital for us to exercise, but it can contribute to pelvic floor damage. In this article I explain ways that make it possible for us to take care of our pelvic floor while exercising. I've included video descriptions and demonstrations of the six things we can do to take the pressure down. Here's the link to the whole article. https://lnkd.in/g9NTWBZB Sign up for the video series to help you learn the six strategies one at a time. #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloordysfunction #eveolution #perimenopausefitness #perimenopause #fitness #health #exercise #wellbeing #healthyageing #incontinence #physiotherapy

Featured blog post! In the article I discuss our champion pelvic floor muscles, why they are important, and the major factors that put them under pressure. I've been open about my own experience with incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction, and my confusion about having these problems because I've never had a baby. It's not just pregnancy and childbirth that can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. We can have experienced a number of factors that increase pressure inside the abdomen, which pushes down on the pelvic floor muscles causing fatigue and damage. I do hope you'll check out the article to learn more.

As the host of the Masters Fitness Academy podcast, I get to speak to inspiring people who have made a change to the fitness industry during midlife after other careers. Tune in for the truly inspiring story of JoDee Coulter who is still working full time as a bereavement coordinator at a hospice. She’s been working as a fitness professional on the side since she got qualified in 2018 at the age of 54. JoDee’s ultimate goal is to retire from her current career and focus on her aptly named business - Fill Your Cup - doing health and wellness coaching. Listen via the links in the comments.

Many of you will already know about the big changes afoot for FiftyFitness this year. Soon I'm moving to the other side of town and have sadly closed down my outdoor fitness group for over 50s - Get Fit Outdoors. It's been an absolute pleasure to exercise outdoors with an enthusiastic and loyal group of participants since I first stated out as a PT back in 2021. It's been a marvellous three years and I will miss each and every one of you. Please stay in touch and watch this space for the evolution of FiftyFitness.

Did you know that I host the Masters Fitness Academy podcast? In each episode we showcase an inspiring individual who has come into the fitness industry later in life. It was a great pleasure to talk to Brett Whitcher and learn his story. Have a listen to hear what motivated Brett to move from his home maintenance business and become a personal trainer.

The article I'm sharing this week is a direct follow up from the previous one where I disclosed my embarrassing problems with wetting my pants and urgency to wee. In this one I share my experience of consulting a pelvic health physio to demystify the process for you and encourage you to see one if you've been putting up with leaking or pelvic floor issues. Here's the link to read the article. https://lnkd.in/gMUvnGxT I hope my oversharing is helpful. #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloordysfunction #eveolution #perimenopausefitness #perimenopause #fitness #health #exercise #wellbeing #healthyageing #incontinence #physiotherapy
