Hi, I’m Paula Campanero, the founder of Core Tone Fitness
I always knew that I would be involved in sport and fitness. In Spain, where I grew up, I competed as a professional pole vaulter. Knowing I would need something for my future career I went on to study Health and Sports Science, attaining a Bachelors Degree. I then completed a Masters Degree in Sports Performance.
Back then I discovered the benefits of hypopressive exercises. I had read some of the published research on the hypopressive approach, especially as it related to women, and I wanted to know more. A that time Spain was the only place in the world where certification courses were offered. Shortly after receiving my Master Trainer Certification I moved to Australia. I decided to share this innovative technique with other fitness and health professionals.
As an ex professional athlete and now a mum of two, I am aware of the negative effects that impact training, heavy lifting and pregnancy and childbirth can have. Hypopressive training is a great way to help improve and restore your core.
Rethink everything you’ve been told about core training.
I wrote this book to empower you with a deeper understanding of your own body and open up conversations around pelvic floor health that are too often hidden or dismissed.
Across eleven chapters, I guide you through the foundations of smart core training — from posture and breathing, to stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, abdominal separation, and postpartum recovery. I’ve also included a special chapter for the blokes, because pelvic health matters to everyone. You’ll learn the essential first steps, follow a clear exercise sequence, and discover how the Hypopressive Technique can enhance your core function.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to deepen your knowledge, this book is designed to support you, reassure you, and help you build real, lasting core support. If you’re ready to understand your core in a whole new way, I’d love for you to dive in.
