Exercises will include drawing your pelvic floor up
into your pelvic outlet and holding it for endurance as well as short, quick contractions; strengthening your lower abdominals (transversus abdominus) while drawing your pelvic floor up toward your belly button; and also strengthening the support muscles of your deep hip rotators, your lower back and your inner
thighs.
Aside from helping to prevent injuries, there's another reason: thanks to the good old 9 - 5 spent sitting on our tush, most people have weak glutes, tight hip flexors and tight hamstrings, which means if they dive straight
into the
exercises they don't target their glutes, but rather other muscles like the
thighs (quadriceps in the front, adductors on the inside and hamstrings at the back).
