The pelvic floor muscles can be strengthened through targeted exercises into old age.
Especially women who have recently given birth or are already in menopause can easily get their pelvic floor back into shape:
-> Start the exercise in the supine position, place your legs hip-width apart and place your arms relaxed beside your body. Exhale deeply. As you inhale, tense your pelvic floor, lift your pelvis and roll upward one vertebra at a time. Hold for a few seconds and then set back down.
-> Get into the quadruped position. Clamp a cushion between the knees by slightly tensing the leg muscles and fix it there. Breathe out completely. As you inhale, tense the pelvic floor and thus lift the knees a little off the floor. Hold the position for a few seconds and repeat the exercise 5 to 6 times.
