Leslie Sansone Walking

[Julie G]

Hi Tasha, first I can’t thank you enough for creating the program for prolapse. I have rectocele and slight bladder prolapse. I found your DVD March 2012. I no longer notice the prolapse “feeling” but the rectocele I have to take 12 gram fiber supplement every day or twice a day and sometimes senna and suppositories because I don’t feel the natural urge anymore.

I have been doing the Leslie Sansone Walking workouts, 3 miles and 5 miles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRScb2l4Z4g I do low kicks 45* angle. Can I go to 90* angle or is that putting too much pressure on pelvic floor? Leslie says to pull in the stomach. I pull up in the kegel the whole time which also pulls in the stomach. She does side steps, side knee lifts and twists and back kicks.

I’ve also been doing Denise Austin. I do back lunges with 5 lb weights then squats with 5 lb weights. I’m thinking the weight might be too much.

Thank you for all you do and any suggestions!

Julie

Julie,

Looks like you have found a good program.  Her cues to pull your belly in is great and your knowledge of pulling “up and in” is even better.  You can definitely do 90 degree leg kicks, just be sure you are able to hold neutral spine and do NOT breath hold, not even for a second.  The same holds true for your squats and lunges with your weights.  As long as you can do them in neutral spine and without any type of breathhold you are good to go!
