Is there any way to select the core "pelvic floor" muscles (or whatever their technical name is)?

Beyond anything to do with incontinence, my understanding is that they are intimately involved with back pain and are one of the most important muscle groups to strengthen, as flexing them (or not) influences the position of most other parts of the body. (When people say "walk tall", what they really mean is "turn your pelvic floor muscles on".)

Maybe it's just assumed that you must use your pelvic floor / core to do any exercise with good form?

I'm curious: what was the reason for splitting out things for men and women?

I don't know. But it could be that a female would be more inspired by seeing a female doing something hard. Whereas seeing a really pumped up dude doing it would be... well this guy is also on something. So I think it is a very good idea.

This is the feedback I've had from a lot of people. My wife being one of them.

Thanks OP for sharing my website! Please be gentle with me. This is a project website that I built out of frustration a few years ago. I know there are things that need improving and a lot of things that could be adjusted. I work full time at Brave Software (brave.com) and simply don't have time to put a ton of effort into MuslceWiki. I do however have a big backlog of videos to add and I've slowly been working on an…

Having to enter email to get the results of the fasting guide is unacceptable. It should be illegal to waste people's time like that, and it should be required to say something along the lines of "to get your results, you will need to enter an email address" prior to wasting precious time. I closed the site after.

We don't have a fasting guide on the site. I think you clicked an ad.

Great idea and very useful website! Thank You. One suggestion: A lot of folks don't go to gym, lack access to exercise equipment etc. It might be worthwhile to have a section on how to work out the specific muscles without any equipment and in minimal space using only bodyweight/calisthenics; eg. Yoga stretches, deep squats, pushups(both Normal and Hindu) etc.

There are tabs for stretching and bodyweight exercises for each muscle.

If you mean like this: https://musclewiki.com/Bodyweight/Male/Forearms/

You can see how there is still equipment required.

The addition of band work would be great; most homes have spots where they could be anchored and it's a smaller outlay in both money and space.

That's on my hit list next.

Reminds me a bit of this older site's https://exrx.net/Lists/Directory . That was a great place to use as reference when planning your exercises. This site had a whole lot more other information too. It's good to see competition.
