@liabartha: Here’s the truth: not everyone needs to focus on pelvic floor strengthening. In fact, I’m seeing more and more women find @bthemethod because they’ve developed pelvic floor hypertrophy (meaning the pelvic floor has become too tight and struggles to fully relax) often from overdoing other forms of exercise. This sometimes comes from improper instruction around core engagement and/or picking up heavy weights without progression because social media said so (grrr). Keeping the pelvic floor healthy requires a delicate, but incredibly important, balance of strength and release. That’s why this emphasis is woven into every @bthemethod class (whether you realize it or not). Since you can’t see the pelvic floor (and it can be hard to even feel at times), this simple yet extremely effective movement helps give your body permission to soften automatically. And yes, it’s beneficial for everyone. If you want more guidance, there’s an entire class on the @bthemethod app to walk you through it. Come try it out with a free week at bthemethod.com #pelvicfloor #pilates #deepcore
