Core Stability Training
At the core of your health is your core! Core training can be used to strengthen the body overall but also as a motor control exercise including help with strengthening your pelvic floor which controls urinary retention and urinary incontinence.
The training stimulus needed for stabilization exercises is different than that used for stretching, strengthening, or aerobic training—this type of training can be done daily and should not be over-exertive.
See below for simple core exercises that can be done using an exercise or yoga ball.
