Prolapse-Safe Standing Countertop Workout 💪 20-Min Total Body Fitness for Pelvic Health

Published 2023-03-08
This 20-minute total body workout is a great way to start your day! All you need is a countertop (or another sturdy surface that's the appropriate height for your body). No other equipment is needed. Strengthen your arms, core, hips, and legs using your body weight only! You'll also strengthen AND relax your pelvic floor muscles with this quick standing routine.

These standing exercises are appropriate for hypertonic (tight) and hypotonic (lax) pelvic floor muscles, and it is designed to be safe for people with pelvic organ prolapse. However, everyone is different and will respond differently to exercise routines. Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs.

  • I just discovered you🙂. I’m 69 never heard of prolapse before in my life. Thank goodness I found you. I started doing your exercises, what a big difference. I am very active but didn’t know why after exercises fell so much Pressure.!,, finally I saw the dr she told me was prolapse but never said anything what kind of exercises i was doing. I decided to do some research and I realized squatting, push-ups, jumping,,, heavy weights were a no no . I’m learning pressure is gone completely. I just did ( I need them) your abdomen exercises.... thanks so much for helping us the seniors too 😊

    72 year old female. Worked out hard since I have been 22. I did not know I was hurting my pelvis and prolapse by doing crunches and double leg lifts, etc! The above workout and other safe pelvic floor exercises has saved me from continuing to go to the urologist. So, thank you so much.
  • I am 68 years old and found my prolapse six month before never ever acurd before I was so much traumatized I went to my doctor and she told me this is prolapse and she gave me just one exercise that time I was with my daughter and now I am with my son few days ago I found again and I was searching exercises and suddenly found you channel I am so glad I have knee problems too but you explain it so nicely thanks again with lots of blessings and love ❤️ ❤
  • I've found your channel after I did research. This one I will be doing tonight. I do not want surgery. The balloon like bulge seems to get more noticeable throughout the day. I sit for 9 hours a day. With your help I have faith to get better
  • @redheartdeb
    Thank you for this! At 64, prolapse pain, and coming out of a sedentary lifestyle, this is everything for me right now! Appreciate you.
  • @maplenook
    This is outstanding and exactly what I need. I appreciate all the explanation. I’m also wondering if you could create another video that we can just follow along with, no or minimal explanation. I’d like to do this every day.

    Dearest BRI, you r the most wonderful brilliant teacher. I’m 76 now but still teach a gentle yoga and chi to gung clas and your classes have helped me so much with my teaching. Also my pelvic floor issues have improved a lot. Also you are such a gorgeous beautiful human being to give everyone so much support with your reassuring compassionate lessons. Also I loved your so candid vulnerability in sharing your personal story. I wish so much love and support and blessings for a healthy happy life. Hang in there with your husband, I can say that with knowing the ups and downs of marriage because I’ve been married for nearly 53 years and we have really learned all about love and we’re so content and loved up now. It takes commitment with both parties and faith and love and trust which is a process of course but well worth the effort. I live in Australia and follow all your excellent teachings. What are a wonderful blessing you are to the world. By the way you’re so natural and so very loveable, I feel like you are talking and teaching someone you know and like enormously. Now that’s the gift you give to us. Much love💖Mellaine

    Absolutely fab! It just shows you don't need to do an extensive or extreme workout for your body to feel the benefits. I loved this exercise🥰
  • Thanks Dr Bree ! This is a great workout for me . God bless you for your efforts to help those who are suffering from all types of women problems.❤❤❤❤.
  • @sarurita4928
    I really like these excises , I am 70 but I am actually doing good at keeping up . I have watched about 5 of your video's today and did almost all the steps. . I surprised my self ,since I never do that kind of excise , mostly yard work has kept me in shape, but I'm sure with the ex stream heavy yard work that I do ,that is most likely caused my dropped pelvic . you are an awesome instructor . just hope I can stick to doing these excise .
  • Love this workout. Especially teaching the proper way of breathing. Thank you for I don't like floor exercises and now do this in my kitchen first thing in the morning as I am getting my coffee. .
  • @mangaim8214
