Instructions For Kegel Exercises
Women are you having a hard time staying motivated to do your kegel exercises?
Here is simply way to add some variety to your kegals to help keep you motivated!
First, start off with a monthly test as a benchmark of your pc
muscle control with the fawcet test.
The Fawcet Test:
When your bladder is full bladder go to the bathroom and start
to urinate, then quickly tighten your pc muscle and stop the flow
of urine.
Release and start to urinate again and repeat.
If you have difficulties with this control exercise it is a message
that you need to exercise your pc muscles with kegels
Make it a practice to repeat the above exercise every time you
urinate - doing so will help you target the correct muscles.
But, note almost 80% of women contract the wrong muscles when doing
kegels.
However, using a kegel device like the Kegelmaster is the best recommendation to ensure that the correct
muscle s are used.
The Wave Exercise
Whenever you are seated and waiting like at a desk or stuck in
traffic tighten all your PC muscles, anal, vaginal and urethral,
back to front and front to back.
Tighten, slowly hold the tension for one to two seconds, then slowly
release each area.
Repeat and you will immediately feel the wave of contractions.
The Elevator Test
As you slow contract your pelvic muscles imagine the different
degrees of contraction representing a floor stop on an elevator.
Tighten each muscle one floor at a time - and hold for a 10 count
and reverse. Relax all the way down one floor at a time.
This a great exercise for Women early in pregnancy or after surgery.
Your goal should be to have the ability to repeat up to 20 contractions,
3 times a day.
Like any exercise start slowly. The first muscle adaptations are
neural, meaning that for the first week don't push yourself.
Just do enough that so you feel like your are doing a very light
workout!
Happy Kegels!
