Regular daily Kegel exercises are important for the strength and support of your pelvic floor. This video helps you start your day with a full set of guided Kegel exercises. Ideally these exercises are repeated 3 times in total throughout the day.
Starting Out
1.Set your posture so that your spine is lengthened and the crown of your head is lifted
2.If you’re sitting on a chair move forward away from the back of the chair so that you’re not using the backrest
3.Make sure you keep the inward curve in your lower back constant throughout the course of your Kegel exercises
A. Long Kegel Exercises
Long Kegel exercises involve squeezing and lifting in and around all 3 pelvic openings at once. Squeeze and lift your pelvic floor muscles in and around your pelvic openings breathing normally throughout. Try to maintain this squeezing and lifting action for up to 8 to 10 seconds at a time before relaxing your pelvic floor muscles completely. Take a short rest before repeating the next long Kegel exercise.
Aim to do 8 -12 long Kegel exercises in a row resting and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles between every exercise. Hold your pelvic floor muscles contracted during a long Kegel exercises for 3 -10 seconds every attempt.
B. Short Fast Kegel Exercises
Short fast Kegel exercises are also important to practice regularly particularly to help the pelvic floor muscles contract briskly when they need to.
Try to perform up to 10 quick brisk Kegel exercises in a row on a daily basis. These quick pelvic floor contractions can be used to help prevent or minimise bladder leakage with coughing all sneezing.
The combination of long and short quick Kegel exercises helps you keep your pelvic floor muscles in good shape and avoid or manage some of the common pelvic floor problems including pelvic prolapse and also bladder leakage.
