Hi,
todays topic and video is for all you ladies 40 and over and women who have experienced childbirth and those who have gone through menopause.
Pelvic Floor strenghtening and deep core work.π§π½ββπ§π½ββπ§π½ββ
In the video below ππΌI have provided an effective workout for you, which can be done 3 or 4 times per week or you can add this into your current workout routine.
πππ
So, why is it important for us 40+ women to include pelvic floor exercises into our workout regimes?
1. Improves Bladder Control
A strong pelvic floor helps prevent urinary incontinence, which can be especially beneficial during activities like running, jumping, or even coughing.
Helps reduce the risk of stress incontinence, a common issue for many women after childbirth or menopause.
2. Supports Organs
The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum. Strengthening these muscles helps maintain their proper position and function, reducing the risk of pelvic organ prolapse.
3. Eases Pregnancy and Postpartum Recovery
During pregnancy, the pelvic floor supports the growing baby and helps with childbirth. Strengthening these muscles can make labor easier and speed up postpartum recovery.
It helps with diastasis recti recovery and pelvic stability after pregnancy.
4.. Improves Core Stability and Posture
The pelvic floor is a key component of your core muscles. It works with the diaphragm, deep abdominals, and back muscles to support posture and core stability, reducing back pain and improving overall balance.
5.. Prevents and Reduces Pain
Weak pelvic floor muscles can contribute to pelvic pain, lower back pain, and discomfort in the hips. Strengthening these muscles can alleviate or prevent these issues.
6. Boosts Athletic Performance
A strong pelvic floor helps improve core strength and stability, which can enhance performance in activities like weightlifting, running, and other sports that require core engagement.

Hiππ, today we are discussing 'Cortisol'.
In this day and age of stressful living I find it is a reocurring topic among my clients. So, today we will help you understand what cortisol is and why it is so important to try to keep this hormone regulated as much as possible.
Do you have high cortisol levels?
β«What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is your bodies main stress hormone, made by our adrenal glands. Your mood, anxiety levels, motivation, drepression levels are all controlled via the brain and cortisol. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland within the brain monitors the level of cortisol within the blood. Your brain adjusts the level of cortisol it makes as it senses a change in your levels. The pituitary gland will then control the amount of cortisol released.
β«Why do we produce cortisol?
Cortisol is used within our bodies for a number of reasons which include
1. Controlling the level of inflammation within the body
2.Regulating our lood pressure
3. Controlling our sleep patterns
4. Increases our energy in stressful situations
5. Increases gloucose within the body
6. Manages how we use certain nutrients including fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
β«How does cortisol work within the body?
We have receptors for cortisol in most cells within our body and each cell recieves and uses the hormone in a different way. Our daily activities, experiences and lifestyle dictate how much cortisol we need each day, so generally our requirements fluctuate day to day.
Stressful situations which put us on high alert will cause a change in our cortisol levels which isn't usually an issue as once the stress is removed our levels return to normal and the ody regulates its self and balance is restored.
However, when we are under a constant or longterm state of stress including being the the state if flight or fight for an extended peiod of time, this is when potentially too much or even too little of the hormone is released into the bloodstream and things begin to become unregulated within the body which derails many of our functions.
This can potentially lead to
* constant high or low blood pressure
* headahes
* anxiety
* depression
* memory loss
* brain fog and confusion
* restless leg syndrome and interrupted sleep patterns
* digestive issues and complaints
* weight gain and weight loss
* easily bruised skin
* patches of dark skin
* muscle weakness
* distended or bloated stomach
* excessive tiredness
πππ
β«How can we help our bodies regulate this hormone?
Using the right type of exercise can really help reduce levels and improve your overall health, both physically and mentally. Therapeutic exercises such as swimming, yoga, pilates, and stretching, along with good breathing techniques can help reduce your cortisol levels significantly and naturally. In the longterm you will notice a reduction in the overall symptoms of having excessive fluctuations in cortisol levels.πππ
