Enhance Your Daily Routine: Kegel Exercises Explained

4. Kegel Instructions for Women

Identifying the right muscles is the first step in performing a proper Kegel exercise. First, isolate the muscles necessary to stop and start the flow of urine. Next, focus on the tightening and relaxation of the vaginal opening. Imagine sitting on a marble, and using the pelvic muscles to pick it up and pull it into the vagina. Finally, squeeze the rectal muscles as if attempting to prevent passing gas. Focus on isolating these three muscle groups without squeezing the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, and the result is a proper Kegel. Be sure to maintain regular breathing throughout the process.
