MAIN TOPIC: WHAT RUNNERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PELVIC FLOOR
Main Topic: Everybody has a Pelvic Floor
Do you know much about the pelvic floor? Well, everyone has one, so listen up! The pelvic floor contributes to your daily power for running and other tasks. It is the base of our core and stability functions.

Today we interviewed Besty about the pelvic floor. It’s amazing how so many of us know so very little about this muscle group. EVERYBODY has a pelvic floor, so you don’t want to miss the chance to learn more about this important muscle group!
Reflection
They say that ignorance is bliss, but ignorance is a MISS. Knowing more about our body’s function and how muscle groups respond can help us to become better runners. Thanks to Betsy for sharing with all of us so we can better understand and evaluate our needs as runners.
