For today’s Form Friday Challenge, I want to take a look at the ribs and lower abdominal bulging. Are you able to bring your ribs down and in with an exhale while keeping your lower abs from bulging?⁣
⁣
Postpartum women are often told to work on their breathing, but they may not have the lower abdominal strength to combat the forces of a strong exhale. This can lead to lower abdominal bulging. Watch today's video to see a demonstration of bulging with an exhale, and then what it looks like without bulging. ⁣
⁣
We also go over what this bulging can mean for your pelvic floor, and why being mindful of this and creating awareness can be very important for prolapse and diastasis recti recovery.⁣
⁣
How did it go? Were you able to exhale without bulging? ⁣
