Pelvic Floor Exercise Keeps Your Midsection Manageable

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.

Pelvic floor exercise is the foundation of a new program for women called Sexhercise – Feminine Fitness from Within. Ever wonder what your pelvic floor muscles have to do with great sex?

Did you know that the stronger your pelvic muscles are, the more easily you will be able to experience desire, and enjoy sexual intercourse with your partner? Women with stronger pelvic muscles not only get aroused more easily, but can experience more powerful orgasms more regularly.

How to strengthen those pelvic muscles so that you too can enjoy an active, healthy sex life? Pelvic floor exercises can be a great place to start! You’ve probably heard of Kegels, specific contracting and releasing exercises you can do to work out your pelvic muscles. However there is a really unique program called Sexhercise that not only uses Pilates to strengthen your pelvic muscles in a fun way, but does so while increasing your overall strength and physical activity.

Having strong and functional pelvic muscles is about more than just an active sexual life. Your pelvic muscles support all of the female reproductive organs, control the bowels and bladder, and help prevent incontinence. That should be reason enough to do some pelvic floor exercise!

If you do not exercise these muscles with regularity, they can eventually weaken, which is when incontinence could occur. Did you know that by the time you hit age 65, you may have lost 80 percent of the strength in your pelvic muscles? With the beginnings of menopause, which may bring on many other uncomfortable symptoms, having to worry about your pelvic muscles and possible incontinence is something that should be avoided if possible.

Many older women give up on an exercise routine, or are scared of beginning a new program. The great thing about Sexhercise is that it can work for any woman of varying shapes, sizes or age.

So join the other fit and fabulous women over fifty with Sexhercise. Do some pelvic floor exercise daily to improve your sex life, tone your body, and set yourself up for great pelvic health for many years to come.
