Have you heard of the word Kegels before? Kegels are the name of an exercise designed by Dr. Arnold Kegel in the 1940’s. His concept for a squeeze and hold technique to strengthen the pelvic muscles, allowed those muscles to be isolated and worked out as a unit. When the concept was invented, many women tried, many of them unsuccessfully, to put Dr. Kegel”s idea into action.

So, lets be honest. The concept of a few kegels being able to singlehandedly reduce incontinence and bladder issues, or improve an individual’s sex life, sounds great. However, in reality, many woman became confused about where exactly the pelvic floor was, and how they could actually isolate these muscles by practicing kegels. Like most exercises, if done incorrectly, you do not reap any of the exercises health benefits.

If you want to restore tone to your pelvic floor muscles, you need to begin a regime of pelvic floor exercises. Sexhercise™, a revolutionary pelvic floor exercise program, is based on Pilates exercise. Pilates is an exercise form that specifically trains you to perform each exercise correctly in order to receive the rewards that come with it.

Sexhercise™ is designed for your body. Any woman can benefit from this program, and it can be easily modifiable to your level of physical activity. Not only will it improve bladder and bowel control and help cut down on instances of incontinence, but it can also strengthen your abdominal muscles, support your core, and add some added zing to your sex life!

While Kegels were once the only way that a woman could take control of her pelvic health, with Sexhercise™ and its new pelvic floor exercises, you are able to multitask and target all of these areas at once. So make these pelvic floor exercises a part of your day. Say goodbye to Kegels, and hello to its newer, sexier counterpart, Sexhercise, Feminine Fitness from Within™.

Have the years been slowly creeping up, but so have the numbers on the scale? As many women reach middle age, it can be a shock to see that their metabolism, which once worked so hard for them, is now beginning to slow down a little. A little pelvic floor exercise can help tremendously.

While it could be tempting to just go along with the eventual weight gain, there are many reasons why fighting back against the battle of the bulge is the right choice! When women gain weight, especially around middle age, the weight goes straight to the belly or abdominal region.

Abdominal fat is unfortunately the worst kind of fat. When menopause occurs, you may find yourself with a couple of extra pounds parked around your abdominal region, and now it’s up to you to exercise those pounds off, one at a time.

Abdominal fat has been linked to a higher cardiovascular risk, diabetes, breast cancer and gallbladder problems. Luckily there are ways to tone your core muscles, strengthen your abdominals, fight off those pesky extra pounds and have some fun to boost!

Although it may be hard for women who have never needed to exercise in the past to begin an exercise program while entering into middle age, it is the right time to add some exercise into their life.  Luckily there are some exciting workout routines that are based on Pilates, which combine Pilates moves with additional pelvic floor exercises.

I developed a program called Sexhercise™ that allows woman of any age, shape or size to work out their abs and pelvic muscles easily. Not only will they tone their core muscles, but they will make sure that their pelvic muscles, which control the functions of the bladder and bowels, and help prevent future incontinence, are strong as well.

Pelvic floor exercises like these can be a great addition to your daily life or any exercise routine. So choose to battle down the excess pounds by changing your lifestyle, adding pelvic floor exercise and Pilates into your life and working on strengthening your core muscles.
