For almost 12 months, following the birth of my first child, I experienced severe pelvic pain – just walking and lifting my baby was difficult! I bought a copy of “The Core and The Floor” and, by regularly practising the exercises Lisa and Fiona demonstrate, I’ve gained an understanding of how to steadily improve my fitness, within a realistic time frame. I have now regained my muscle tone, I no longer have any pain, and will definitely use the DVD after the birth of my next baby.
