In this blog post, we’re unpacking the key takeaways from our latest Black Iron Radio episode all about strengthening your pelvic floor and core—what these muscles actually do, why they matter (way beyond just postpartum recovery), and how to train them effectively. Coaches Kristen and Chloe are joined by our pelvic floor DPT Whitney Doran to talk about everything from common dysfunctions like leaking during workouts to building strength from the inside out with diaphragmatic breathing, proper progression, and smart movement patterns. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just trying to move and lift with more control, this episode is packed with helpful insights you can start applying right away.
