From core to pelvic floor—here are some down below no-gos. 🙅‍♀️ ❗️Squeezing the wrong muscle: This is pretty common. And one thing to note is that you shouldn’t be squeezing your bum while pelvic floor exercising—this should be relaxed. Devices like Elvie Trainer prevent you from doing Kegels incorrectly while visualizing your movements in real-time. ❗️Forgetting to relax: Not releasing your contractions can overwork or over-tighten your pelvic floor muscles. Lean into those break periods and relaaaaaax, reducing tension internally and externally. ❗️Holding your breath: We do this unconsciously, so developing a breathing pattern is important. Holding your breath can mean you don’t get the most out of your Kegel exercises and creates added intra-abdominal pressure.
