In March, Brittany Mahomes caused a stir online with her discussion about the “pelvic floor.” Now, in August, the First Lady of the Kansas City Chiefs is completely healthy again and is expecting another child.

But who would have thought? Thanks to Olympic runner Colleen Quigley, we have even more pelvic floor talk to share. A pelvic floor talk that includes a tip that would have come in handy for Mrs. Mahomes.

Quigley, who competed in the 2016 Olympics, is a steeplechase specialist who still trains on the track, going through a specific routine beforehand to prepare.

This routine involves some strange tongue exercises that, among other things, help relax the pelvic floor muscles. She demonstrated the exercise by taking off her shirt and grasping her tongue.

Quigley admits that the tongue-tightening exercises can be uncomfortable and make you look crazy. She added: “Sometimes you drool over yourself… just try to relax while you do it…”

I’m not a doctor, but the information provider claims that the benefits of the tongue stretching routine are worth it. She thanked Dr. Noah Moos – a chiropractor from Texas – for teaching her the routine.

The NY Post reports that Quigley’s claims have some validity. Pelvic floor therapist Cate Schaffter said, “Everything we do with our mouths – eating, speaking, yawning – can be linked to our pelvic floor.”

“In addition, the vagus nerve also has connections to the pelvic organs, the tongue and our larynx,” she continued. “In short, everything is connected.”

Fascinating. When you first started viral tongue training, you probably didn’t realize you would end up learning something. And yet here we are.

You’ll probably do what I did and google whether men have a pelvic floor – I told you, I’m not a doctor. The answer is yes, by the way, so I’ll spare you that step.

Then you look around to make sure no one is watching before you pull your tongue out of your mouth and try the exercises.

It may be that I’m no longer a well-oiled sports machine, but I haven’t noticed anything in my pelvic floor or anywhere else. I wish you the best of luck with your tongue training.
