🛗 Eccentric Endurance Elevator Kegels 🛗

If concentric elevator kegels train the lift and eccentric elevator kegels train the controlled descent, eccentric endurance elevator kegels take that control to the next level.

An eccentric contraction occurs when a muscle lengthens while maintaining tension. In the pelvic floor, this means slowly lowering after a contraction instead of completely relaxing all at once.

The endurance component comes from extending that lowering phase and maintaining control throughout the entire descent. Think of it like an elevator that stops at every floor on the way down rather than dropping straight to the lobby.

Why does this matter?

✨ Improves pelvic floor endurance
✨ Builds sustained muscle control
✨ Enhances the ability to lengthen under tension
✨ Helps the pelvic floor respond to prolonged physical demands
✨ Promotes better coordination between contraction and relaxation

Just like any other muscle group, your pelvic floor needs more than strength alone. It also needs the endurance to perform its job throughout the day—whether you’re exercising, lifting, walking, or managing changes in abdominal pressure.

A healthy pelvic floor isn’t just able to lift. It can also maintain control as it gradually lowers and lengthens.

That’s where eccentric endurance training comes in. 💪🛗

Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation.

It responds to how your hips move, how your body handles load, and how well everything is working together.

These 3 exercises target:
• control + coordination
• mobility + length
• alignment + positioning

When your hips move better, your pelvic floor doesn’t have to compensate—it can do its job more efficiently.

This means better support, better movement, and less unnecessary strain.

Pelvic floor health is about how your whole body works together. 💛

Spring allergies got you sneezing more lately? 🤧🌸
If you leak when you sneeze, your pelvic floor is asking for attention.
Here’s what’s happening 👇
A sneeze creates a sudden spike in pressure in your abdomen. Your pelvic floor is supposed to reflexively lift and support against that pressure—but if it’s weak, tight, or not coordinating well, it can’t keep everything closed… and leakage happens.
This can be connected to:
• Pregnancy or postpartum changes
• Core weakness or poor pressure management
• A pelvic floor that’s actually too tight (not just weak)
• Habitual breath-holding or bearing down
The good news? This is treatable. 🙌
You don’t have to avoid sneezing, crossing your legs, or just “deal with it.”
✨ Pelvic floor therapy helps you:
• Retrain that reflex response
• Build strength and relaxation where needed
• Improve coordination with your core and breath
Your body isn’t failing you—it just needs the right support.

Kegels are only one piece of the puzzle.

To truly prepare your body for pregnancy and postpartum, your pelvic floor needs more than just contraction.

It needs:
✨ Strength
✨ Coordination
✨ And the ability to fully relax

Just like any other muscle, constantly squeezing without learning how to move and let go can actually work against you.

Training your pelvic floor means helping it respond to movement, pressure, and breath—not just doing reps.

That’s how you build a body that feels supported, strong, and ready. 💛

Most people think pelvic floor training is all about slow, long holds… but that’s only part of it.

Your pelvic floor also needs to be able to react quickly.

Quick flick kegels train the fast-twitch muscle fibers that help your body respond to things like:

Sneezing
Coughing
Laughing
Jumping or lifting
These are the moments when leaks often happen—and your pelvic floor has to kick in instantly.

If you’re only doing slow holds, you might be missing this important piece.

1. Stand tall in a comfortable position
2. Lift your pelvic floor for 1 second
3. Fully relax for 1 second
4. Repeat this quick on/off pattern
5. Think of it like a pelvic floor jump—you lift up, then fully land back down to baseline before the next rep.

✔️ Each rep should be a full contraction AND full relaxation
✔️ These are not synced with your breath—they’re meant to train quick, reactive control

Pelvic floor health isn’t just about strength—it’s about timing, speed, and coordination too. 💛

If you’re only doing kegels lying down… you might be missing where it actually matters.

Your pelvic floor does most of its work when you’re upright—walking, lifting, carrying, moving through your day.

Standing kegels help train your pelvic floor to support you against gravity and during real-life movement, not just in a resting position.

This is where strength starts to translate into function—helping with things like support, stability, and everyday demands on your body.

Because it’s not just about doing the exercise… it’s about your body knowing how to use it when it counts. 💛
