Love the graphics - the basket metaphor makes it easy to visualize what is happening inside as well as feel the muscles work. I also like the incorporation of moms and children into the workout. Thank you for this very important exercise DVD. --Gerri Ryan, LM, CPM, Midwife, Bonita, CA Tasha Mulligan has done an excellent job of organizing and progressing strengthening exercises of the pelvic floor, utilizing the approach with complete core training.
