<h2>Pelvic Exercises To Try…</h2>
<h3>Kegels</h3>
<p>This is the process of tensing and then releasing your pelvic floor muscles to strengthen them and develop stamina over time.</p>
<h3>Squats</h3>
<p>This move strengthens the largest muscles of your body and helps to maintain overall health and fitness! Ensure that your form is correctly aligned to get the most out of your efforts. Squats will help to develop your glutes, hamstrings, calves, core and pelvic floor.</p>
<h3>Bridge</h3>
<p>Bridges are fantastic for your glutes, hamstrings and pelvic floor strength. Again, good form is essential in order to activate your pelvic floor muscles.</p>
<h3>Bird Dog</h3>
<p>This movement tests your balance and stability. The full body move, which involves sitting on all fours whilst moving one leg and the opposite arm inwards and outwards, helps to strengthen your abdomen, hip flexors, glutes and back.</p>

<h3>Women’s Wellness Tips</h3>
<p>Whilst you’re on your journey to strengthening your pelvic floor, you should also implement a few more tips and lifestyle adjustments in order to feel your very best…</p>
<h3>Regular Exercise</h3>
<p>Regular exercise is essential for balancing hormones, increasing happiness and maintaining your fitness well into your later years. This doesn’t have to be all action, heavy duty or outrageously intense. Your regular workouts can be as simple as a lengthy walk, a gentle jog or some simple stretching whilst you watch TV, whatever works for you, your body and your lifestyle!</p>
<h3>Balanced Nutrition</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&;rct=j&;q=&;esrc=s&;source=web&;cd=&;ved=2ahUKEwir8vmp2LLsAhX28HMBHVmdBisQFjAAegQIARAC&;url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.healthdirect.gov.au%252Fbalanced-diet&;usg=AOvVaw0sMMbZ29_JHoNpVuvLqs4S">Sufficient and balanced nutrition </a>will optimise your health and eradicate a lot of risks down the line. Try to eat hearty whole foods including lots of fish, eggs, nuts, leafy vegetables, fibrous fruits, whole grains and natural fats. Curbing processed foods, regular alcohol consumption and other negative lifestyle choices such as smoking will help you to look, feel and move better in every area of your life.</p>
<h3>Manage Stress</h3>
<p>Stress is one of the worst things for us, and yet we’re all so bad at managing it! Balance your cortisol levels by taking long walks, meditating, journalling, getting plenty of rest, spending time out in nature and practicing yoga. This is going to improve your quality of life and happiness inside and out!</p>
