Uterine prolapse ladies?

Have you tried vaginal weights? I didn't have this, but my midwife suggested those (and kegels) after I had my son to help strengthen everything down there.

My mother had severe prolapse and I sympathize! However, don't feel you're at a disadvantage due to a lack of exercise. I exercise regularly for fitness, but those numbers honestly have little impact on my weight loss. Calories are king! Be sure to choose a modest weekly weight loss goal so your calorie allowance will be sustainable and not make you feel deprived, and then just stick to it like glue! Wishing you the best

I bit the bullet and bought the Hab-It DVD. I did my first workout with it this morning, and my goal is to be consistent and work back up to my weight training. I also want to start running again, but am going to give it at least another month. I'm 6weeks post-partum.

Sorry I can't remember the thread, but it was so helpful on this subject. It linked to a blog by a doctor (woman) who was pregnant and suffering from this problem so she started experimenting and researching. She found squats help rebuild "down there". I started to up my bodyweight squats to 30 at a time, per day, and am seeing a difference. Squats are good for your butt, so you can't go wrong doing them. I plan to up my number and then add weights when I get to 50. I have been doing kegels for 5 years, and they help, but am seeing more results with squats. If you're very overweight you can start by using a chair. Stand and place your hands on the chair back and crouch as low as you can comfortably go at first. Even if you just start with 5 reps and then up them slowly every week. Then try to do lower (butt to the floor--not really, but think of it that way), and then get rid of the chair. Careful to not strain your knees.
