Ok, I admit I never got it. When I first started doing Pilates I would routinely be instructed to engage my pelvic floor, and I was just…what????
My instructors mentioned using my ‘pee muscles’ and doing a kegel. Well, every woman who has ever had a baby knows a lot about ‘the kegel’. But I wondered… what about the guys? Here are 2 links that give good instructions for performing the kegel, one for men and one for women. These links also supply more information as to the importance of having a strong pelvic floor.
Still, the kegel was not enough for me, or maybe it was too much for me. Who knows? It just wasn’t working. Then I learned about doming and it all pulled together for me.
Tomorrow…more about doming and finding what works for you.
