Kegel exercises ease your mind

Kegel exercises are designed to help prevent incontinence, prepare for childbirth & improve orgasm.
Kegel movements are exercises, like any other exercise that target specific body parts for specific goals, like doing situps for your abs.

The basic principle behind Kegel exercises is that strengthening the �pelvic floor muscles� reduces the risk & severity of some typical problems associated with pregnancy & aging.

Who can benefit

*Prepregnant, pregnant, new mothers

*Sufferers of urinary incontinence

*Chronic coughers

*Persons with inadequate orgasm

Finding the Kegel target muscles

To find your Kegel muscles, just stop the flow of urine in midstream. Did it? You just used your Kegel muscles.

Another way to find same muscles - insert your finger inside your vagina. Squeeze the surrounding muscles. You should feel your vagina tighten & your pelvic muscles move upwards.

Doing Kegel exercises

*Make sure your bladder is empty.

*Recall where your Kegel muscles are & tense them.

*Do not tense surrounding muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks.

*Do movements 3x daily, 10 reps.

*Try stretching those muscles by doing hamstring stretches on the floor. For max effect, try touching toes (and beyond) & with legs spread out & then with legs crossed, first in one direction, then the other. Stretch at least 4x weekly.

*If you are not in shape, get in general shape focusing on your thighs & butt making sure to strengthen & stretch. Invariably the pelvic muscles will also receive benefit. Playing sports or engaging in activities that involve thighs, hamstrings & buttocks will do.

When to expect results

Muscles take weeks to show benefits of exercise. Expect improvement in 8 - 12 weeks if you do Kegel movements faithfully.
