    i am a man and this is the best ab tip i heard. By keeping my lower back on the floor, my abs are more engaged and my back is safe.
    I love your spirit and authenticity. Beautiful video.

    Love this. I've almost always had some back pain doing core exercise even when I was at my fittest!
    Now with a pelvic issue I'm healing from, my PT has said I can now start doing a bit more exercise along with my "homework" and I love using your channel for some pelvic friendly exercises and tips (first began using your more gentle yoga for pelvic tension and moving forward from there) so thank you for all of this!

      FemFusion Fitness It's very cool! My PT was glad when I told her I tried a core exercise (among what she gives me included) and my back didn't really hurt using this trick! When I work with her, i have her there but at home, i need to use tricks she gives me and ones like these to help me learn to keep proper form.
      I had been avoiding much core exercise since a painful lower back tends to aggravate my symptoms but I'm improving little by little. Just trying not to push it too much too soon! I'm looking forward to continue trying out more of your videos as I progress. :)

    I have a stiff, tight pelvic floor (diagnosed by a professional) and because of that a lot of pelvic pain. Any advice on safe core exercises for this condition? Normal abs give me extreme pelvic tightness and pain. Thanks.

    Thanks a lot! it is mostly helpful and understandable! I beg you to answer my question!!! I have lostone workout where you demonstrated how to level your right and left parts of the body. You repeated that your right part was upper than the left while trying to lie down touching the floor evenly. I would be very grateful if you give me the title of that workout! it was just perfect for me as no one elsE TO DO BEFORE OTHER SETS. WITH GRATITUDE FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND FRIENDLINESS!

    Hello Bri...I've been avoiding ab workouts for a year or so since I heard they put a strain on PF...the result is that now, aged 65, my belly is flabby and too rounded: I need to stop this old lady shape in its tracks before it gets any worse!!! I've always been health/figure conscious and apart from the ab area I feel I look pretty good for my age. I accept that as we get older there's a natural change in physical proportions (hence even some exercise fanatics still go for liposuction or tummy tucks) but I wonder if I follow ALL your instructions how much can I get back to what I consider acceptable? I feel that I have the beginnings of some sort of prolapse but haven't sought out a pelvic physio yet. What would you recommend that I start with? I'm willing to give it the time. Thanks so much in advance for your advice.

      Hi Julie! While I can't give you an exact timeline or any type of guarantee, I can tell you that I advocate for a total LIFESTYLE approach to health and healing, which will (slowly but surely) help with your weight/ab area concerns. It's not a quick fix, but it's one that works and that LASTS (in contrast to a crash diet, cleanse, or super intensive fitness program that may cause burnout or injury). By strengthening the deep core (pelvic floor and low abs) and by improving your posture (a big focus of mine), you'll be strengthening the deep tummy-flattening muscles AND protecting your back. I also advocate for "moving more" throughout your day, every day, getting more low-impact cardio into your life, and eating clean/unprocessed foods that are free of refined sugars and super high in veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats. There's a lot to learn but go slow and explore my channel gradually. Take it one day at a time and enjoy the increased energy you'll feel as you make these lifestyle changes. How fun to be starting this journey with you!

    • @juliecarter7799
      @juliecarter7799 5 років тому +1

      @@vibrantpelvichealth : Thanks so much for your reply, Bri. Yes I understand that the holistic approach is the best and that things that are really good are usually a fairly gradual process. I'll take the time to really listen to what you say we should start off with. I do try most of the time to eat lots of veggies and also healthy fats, I think it's the lack of focussed exercise and probably neglect of posture that's created the problem. And I will seek out a good physical/pelvic specialist at some point soon to see what's really going on. Thanks again, your videos are a joy to watch and listen to! It's so good to know that somebody understands and isn't shy of talking about the real nitty gritty!

    my fiance has diastasis recti and I was wondering, could you maybe do a lower ab/pooch workout? She finds it easier if she can see the muscles contracting, if that's helpful for what your viewers want!

    • @vibrantpelvichealth
      @vibrantpelvichealth  5 років тому

      Hi Mo Sabri, yes! Give Ab Camp a try; it's designed to be safe for mild to moderate DR due to the emphasis on proper form and proper breathing (i.e. to maintain intra-abdominal pressure). Just be sure to start from the BEGINNING and work your way up to the end! Don't skip around since the videos are progressive.

    • @vibrantpelvichealth
      @vibrantpelvichealth  5 років тому

      I'm so glad you watched this video and tried the "yoga strap hack" -- it's important to have a "baseline" starting point to measure from! As you get stronger, you'll notice that your arch decreases. It's important to be aware (so that you can keep your back and your core/pelvic floor SAFE).
