POSTURE TRAINING
Proper posture keeps your weight centered above your feet. This results in proper form while exercising, which reduces the risk of injury and can strengthen your abilities in any sport or activity. Upright posture also boosts self-esteem and reduces negative mood, leading to a positive mindset.

core TRAINING
Core muscles include Abdominals, Obliques, Back, Pelvic Floor, Spine, Glutes, and Diaphragm. A weak core is associated with chronic back pain and poor posture. There are MANY benefits to a strong core: enhanced flexibility, better balance, improved posture, improved form during exercise, increased stability, ease of movement in everyday activities, REDUCING/PREVENTING PAIN, supporting strength training exercises, making running easier, and reducing lower body injuries.
People of ALL fitness levels can benefit from a stronger core.

Pelvic floor TRAINING
A weak pelvic floor can lead to issues holding in urine, trying to have a bowel movement, and can be a source of lower back pain. While issues more commonly present in females due to pregnancy and the strain it can put on the pelvic floor, both males and females can experience issues due to a weak pelvic floor. If not treated, chronic pelvic floor issues can lead to colon issues, bladder leakage, sexual discomfort, and infection. Physical therapy for a weak pelvic floor is a first line treatment for any issue with this area.
Try these exercises 2-3 times a week for at least a couple months to strengthen your pelvic floor.
