Exploring Fitness Podcast: Episode 13: The Core Muscles Most Athletes Aren't Focusing On with Dr. Kate Taft
Many people don’t realize just how integral pelvic health is to our core stability, athletic performance, and daily life.
And before all the dudes out there turn this off or think this episode doesn’t apply to you… think again.
We often hear pelvic health conversations geared towards women, especially around pregnancy or post-partum, but men are also impacted by pelvic health issues every day.
For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, a strong pelvic floor is key to core strength, balance, and proper breathing.
Pelvic health issues are incredibly common, yet many people aren’t sure when it’s the right time to seek help.
Enter, my next guest… I invited her on to have a conversation about the issues both men and women face when it comes to pelvic health and fitness. And while some might feel uncomfortable discussing some of these issues, she makes it incredibly easy.
