Understanding your core part 4
.
As mentioned in the past 3 posts, there are 4 main muscle groups of the “core”. The muscle groups below are the true core (NOT the “six pack”)
.
Transverse abdominis (front)
Diaphragm (top)
Multifidus (back)
Pelvic floor muscles (bottom)
.
Today we are going to talk about the pelvic floor
.
The pelvic floor is divided into 2 triangles. The front (genitals) and the back (anus)—-see image
.
.
This is important to know because when we contract our pelvic floor, we want to make sure we engage both parts of it, the front AND the back.
.
In order to contract it, think about contracting your pelvic floor like you’re trying not to use the restroom (-ie stopping pee and poo)
.
If we are not in a neutral spine, then it can be difficult to engage both triangles.
.
Try tucking your bottom (flattening your back) and now squeeze your pelvic floor. Where do you feel it most? You can feel it in the back triangle of the pelvic floor.
.
Now arch your low back, then contract your pelvic floor. You will feel it engage more in the front than the back.
.
This is one of the reasons that a neutral spine is important, so we have more control over BOTH parts of our pelvic floor.
.
When this muscle is functioning well, it contracts along with the transverse abdominis during exhalation.

Spending the weekend soaking up the sun! ☀️ Watching Annie splash around in the water yesterday was seriously the greatest. I think she loves swimming just as much as I do! Several of the pools at @lakewayresort are heated which makes pool-time in March

Ps: This off the shoulder dress doubles as the perfect coverup! Linked it under “shop my instagram” at the link in my profile. // #lakewaypartner #lakewayresorts #texastravel #resortstyle #poolside #houstonblogger
Wanted to give my friend Nathalie from @pressprintparty a big thanks for designing the food labels that I used on this dessert table! I knew what I wanted, went to Etsy to look for them and nothing, so Nathalie saved the day and created them in no time! You can find them at her store. Link in Bio for more details!

Crepes, Coffee ☕️ Chats and Chanel; what more could a girl ask for? Austin friends if you have not been to @vivelcrepesandcoffee in #LakewayTexas, run there, don’t walk!! Ask for the peanut butter, chocolate crepe. It’s a secret off the menu item and DEEELICIOUS! Every one of their crepes can be made gluten free, so if you eat gluten free just ask when ordering. Tell Ali and Salma, Jo sent you. They are the best and two of the kindest people you will meet. You’ll thank me later, I promise
