Kegel Krunches
Kegel exercises strengthen your pelvic floor muscles which support
your urethra, uterus, bladder and rectum. These exercises were developed
to help control postpartum incontinence. You can locate this area by
tightening the muscles around your vagina and anus to stop the flow of
urine.
Contract and Release Exercise
Contract and release the pelvic floor muscles quickly and firmly
starting with ten per session, five times a day. Gradually build up to
repeat this exercise ten times per day.
Elevator Exercise
Imagine your pelvic floor as an elevator. Contract the muscles upward
from the first floor to the fifth floor, stopping at each floor and
getting tighter as you go higher. Then, release downward, releasing
tension as you go down. Gradually work up to the tenth floor. Repeat
five elevator sets three times per day.
