Booty Burn with Brooke Burke-Charvet
Last month I had the opportunity to workout with Brooke Burke-Charvet and learn more about her Booty Burn workout. Poise hosted a pelvic health event infusing Brooke's signature moves. The workout helps to strengthen the pelvic floor and focused on the often overlooked portion of the abdominals.
This fitness event was the first one since giving birth to my son. It felt good to move my body again and be able to push myself.
So many women suffer from Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) the event shared the best options for a women's lifestyle and body. The event highlighted the following:
Practice Posture: Poor posture can lead to weak abdominal muscles, which in turn weaken your pelvic floor muscles. Next time you find yourself slouching in front of a computer, practice what your mother always told you and sit up straight!
Squat, but with precaution: Make sure your legs are shoulder width apart and when squatting, watch your form. Make sure your knees don’t go over your toes and that you contract your pelvic muscles during the squat.
Kegels: Practice every squeeze of the pelvic muscles (for up to 10 seconds), then release and relax for the count of ten. Try to do this at least twice a day.
Such an eye opening experience!
