Episode 113 – Why Men Over 40 Need A Strong Pelvic Floor With Jana Danielson

A strong pelvic floor can help with tight hips, back pain, and erectile dysfunction. As a former professional athlete, I know about the importance of it. But only a few guys realize they even have a pelvic floor.
Most men think that women are the only ones with a pelvic floor and that it becomes relevant to them when they give birth. Although guys may have heard about kegel exercises or Pilates to strengthen that area of the body, they don’t believe these exercises apply to them.
But I have news for you.
That little area between the anus and the scrotum is your pelvic floor. You need to strengthen it to improve your sexual drive, the functionality of your bladder, and your performance when you train at the gym or practice sports.
So today, I have a guest that is a pelvic floor expert. She is Jana Danielson, a Pilates certified instructor, studio owner, and Amazon Best Selling Author. She has spent many years now educating and training people to make them aware of their pelvic floor and how strengthening it will improve their well-being exponentially.
Besides, she’s the creator of the Cooch Ball, the world’s first patented pelvic floor fitness tool for women. She also has some solutions for men, so you don’t want to miss out on her wisdom.
Jana introduced me to a three-minute routine I now do daily to strengthen my pelvic floor. After listening to this episode, I’m sure you’ll start doing it too.
“You can be rocking a six-pack. That does not mean that the rest of your core is strong, right? So understand that the pieces of the core, if they are not, you know, functionally working together, part of it can be functional, but part of it can be very dysfunctional.”
—Jana Danielson
