How to perform Kegel Exercises?

It’s easy, all you have to do is lift, hold and relax your pelvic floor muscles. If you are a beginner and starting fresh, start with a small number of exercises for a shorter period of time. For example; squeeze your pelvic floor muscles for 3 seconds, then release for 3 seconds. perform this 10 times in a row. As you become more Kegel friendly, increase the length of time you are lifting, holding, and relaxing.

Now instead of holding and relaxing for three seconds increase the time to 4 seconds, then 5 seconds. Similarly, increase the number of exercises in a set to 10 in a row.

Many researchers say that Kegel is a miracle when it comes to sexual satisfaction and 70% of women have experienced improvement. Try these tips to make it work:

Try by mid-way stopping your pee. This way you’ll get a sense of the muscles you’ve been working on. Squeeze your muscles to hold them in and should feel the muscles lift. This way you’ll know the area you want to target during Kegel exercises.

Another way to get it right is doing it in front of a hand mirror. If the skin-covered area between your vagina and anus, should contract with each rep, then you are doing it properly.
