The Big Lie About Strength Training and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Let’s just say it…

If you’ve been told not to lift because of your pelvic floor… they played you.

“Stick to light weights.”

“Just walk and do kegels.

“Lifting will make your symptoms worse.”

And listen, I know it probably came from a well-meaning place. But that advice? It’s keeping women stuck, scared, and so much weaker than they need to be.

Wait… Isn’t Lifting Bad for Prolapse or Leaking?

NOPE! Not true…

The real issue isn’t the weights. It’s how your system is managing pressure.

If your pelvic floor isn’t coordinating with your core, if you’re bracing like you’re about to get punched in the gut every time you squat, or if you’re leaking on box jumps—it’s not because lifting is wrong for you.

It’s because your body was never taught how to handle it.

Avoiding Strength Training = Staying Stuck

Here’s what makes me actually mad…

You get told to avoid the very thing that could help you rebuild your body.

Because no one taught you the right strategy. No one told you that strength training can literally support your pelvic organs, improve bladder control, and give you energy + confidence again.

And instead? You’re left thinking you’re broken.

Girl, no! You’re just missing the right approach.

What Happens When You Stop Avoiding and Start Rebuilding

You stop tiptoeing around workouts like you’re made of glass.

You stop asking, “Can I do this with prolapse?” and start saying, “Watch me.”

You build a core that supports you instead of one you’re scared to use.

Because when strength training is done right?

✅ You learn how to lift without leaking.
✅ You stop making your symptoms worse every time you move.
✅ You finally feel strong—like, carry-your-toddler-upstairs-with-one-arm strong.
