20- Stop Holding Your Breath- How To Breath During Exercise Or Effort To Stop Leaking Or Pressure

THE BALANCED MOMTALITY- Pelvic Floor/Core Rehab For The Pregnant and Postpartum Mom

Hey Momma,

Do you leak or feel pelvic pressure during exercise or hard activities like squats or picking up something heavy like a toddler in a car seat or a full laundry basket? You might be holding your breath! And girl, that habit is one you need to STOP TODAY!! If you are pregnant or postpartum, you might be finding that you now leak when you jump or pick up something heavy when you didn't before and this can be so frustrating, but sometimes it’s as simple as changing the way we breathe! Inside this week’s episode we dive into WHY breath holding is bad for your core and pelvic floor and HOW you should be breathing during these moments of effort instead. Even if you have no leaking or pelvic pressure symptoms, it is still crucial to become aware of your breathing during moments of effort or exercise so that you can optimize your movement patterns and reduce any pressure down on your pelvic floor. Changing your breathing pattern to work for you can even make your exercises or movements feel easier and help you progress safely and appropriately because you are listening to your body. Breath work can be challenging but is also SO worth the effort!

So go fill up your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!
