... and my insurance is covering it. Wow!
I am just so amazed.
I started today and will be doing (thought I'd share in case anyone else wanted to do them):
1) Extended-hold (10 seconds) kegels 20 times a day,
2) "belly scoops" (where you kegel for 10 seconds AND suck your tummy toward your belly button, making sure to breathe the entire time) 20 times a day,
3) Crunches where I do 2) AND tilt my pelvis under.
All these are while laying on my back.
Okay, and,um, this is just the first series of my exercises! Trust me, they were a LOT more difficult than I thought.
We are doing kegels even though I do not have bladder (etc) issues, because everything is symbiotic and related, so we are actually strengthening the lower abdominals at the same time.
It kinda makes me cry because I have not really "given" myself this attention sicne having my three kids and I was feeling kinda "wring-out". I also was looking 6 months pregnant. the doc said all this was meaning my SPINE was holding up my mama-milk-boobs and my organs, since my abs are doing ZIP!
