Status and Depth Jumps (not Death Jumps!)

Image
Checking in to say I'm feeling great and happy Valentine's Day! I'm getting stronger, and my belly is more toned. I haven't had any pelvic floor pain when sitting or anything. Yay! One of the exercises I learned last week is depth jumps. I vaguely remember doing something similar back during track. You jump off of a small height and squat when landing. The landing should be soft and not sound hard.  The idea is to really absorb the impact.  Because guess what--having your legs absorb more force means your pelvic floor is not taking the brunt of it. https://www.skimble.com/exercises/55978-depth-jump-plus-jump-how-to-do-exercise Here's a good list of plyometric exercises:  https://greatist.com/fitness/explosive-bodyweight-exercises#beginner .
