You were wondering when we were going to get to the minivan part of this book, right? Well the car is a great place to squeeze in core workouts, which improve posture and can help strengthen pelvic muscles to reduce post-birth symptoms of urinary incontinence. Here are three easy exercises that Min recommends:
- The abdominal vacuum: “Exhale all the air from your lungs, then use your ab muscles to suck in your stomach, as if you were pulling your belly button back to your spine. Hold, then release. Shoot for three reps of 10 seconds each.”
- The Kegel: “Tighten and release the pelvic muscles … Work up to three sets of 10.”
- The glute squeeze: “Tighten your stomach muscles and squeeze your glutes.”
