3. Get into the Right Position

The beauty of Kegel exercises is that they are a convenient and easy regimen to maintain. Requirements for a workout include undivided attention and proper space for safely and comfortably performing what should be a daily routine. It is easy to perform the exercises standing, with correct posture and shoulders back, to increase gravitational resistance. Kegels are also effectively done sitting down, though it is better to use a chair or exercise ball rather than the couch. Those with weaker pelvic muscles may prefer to lie down on the bed or yoga mat. Variations of the routine include techniques for lying face up, on the side, or facedown.
