your technique is a lot different than other instructors i have exercised with! i did not know that you didn't have to keep your core engaged the entire time during a workout. but i do have a question. is it safe for people with prolapse to increase abdominal pressure while working core? my thinking is that if the core isn't engaged the entire time then it can push the prolapse downwards. especially with the exercise around 5:05 i see your belly expand while you are working out so doesn't that push the organs downward?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

It is all about how you are using your core and pelvic floor system. The core and pelvic floor is constantly working with lengthening and contracting and this is where the breathing comes in to manage intra-abdominal pressure. My core is not pushing out nor did I feel pressure while I was doing these exercises, but that is because I know how to use my core system with breathing and posture. When you are constantly contracting your core (keeping it tight) this is what increases the intra-abdominal pressure.

@@DrMelissaOleson sorry for the late reply! i have been incorporating this method into my workouts and i have had great success! i was never able to do certain core workouts like (leg lifts/dead bugs) but now i can thanks to you!

Hi Melissa. Can I do this workout with Spondylitis and sciatica?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Everyone is different in what works best for them. I do have some clients with sciatica that do these moves. We do have specific videos on the channel for back pain & sciatica.

Beautiful.😍 but can I do this 6weeks postpartum

[@DrMelissaOleson]

I always recommend checking in with your health care provider for your specific needs & what is best for you. I do have some clients that do these exercises post partum, but it is all about listening to their bodies and specifically how they are doing the exercises.

Modifications for people without balance?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

There is always ways to modify! Such a great question! You can always keep a toe tap down on the ground or head to a wall and keep a finger hold on the wall💕
