KEGEL EXERCISE FOR WOMEN

Doing a Kegel exercise three times a day for five minutes can make a huge difference in your pelvic muscles.

It's a fact of life that a woman’s pelvic muscles can weaken over time. Life events such as pregnancy, childbirth and weight gain can make the pelvic muscles weak. The good news is that the pelvic muscles are like any other muscles. They can be worked out and strengthened. Kegel exercise is the exercise to do if you looking to strengthen the pelvic muscles. Women who have bladder control problems or who are looking to enhance their sex lives are encouraged to do these exercises.

Kegel exercise is not difficult.

You do not have to wear workout clothing and you can do it anywhere! Strong pelvic muscles will help to hold the bladder and other organs in the place.

There are two main pelvic muscles in the female body that does most of the hard work. The largest muscle is much like a hammock. The other muscle is triangular shaped. Both of these muscles work to prevent urine from leaking and they can also tighten the area which can enhance sexual intercourse.

To know which muscles you will be working on during a Kegel exercise you should do the “pee test.” The next time you go to urinate, stop the flow of urine. The muscles that stopped the urine are the muscles that this exercise will target. In addition, to locate these muscles you should try to imagine that you are trying to keep yourself from passing gas. The muscles that you squeeze are the same ones that a Kegel exercise targets.

To do a Kegel exercise you can start out by lying on the floor.

Pull in the muscles that you identified in the earlier step and hold them as you count to three. Next, release them for a count of three. Try to do this at least fifteen times three times per day. You do not have to be lying on the floor to do this exercise. It may help you in the beginning to do it if you are having trouble identifying the muscles.

You can do this exercise sitting, standing or lying down. In fact, many people believe that using all three positions can help the muscles strengthen faster. It is important to note that you should not use your abs or legs when you are doing a this exercise. Only target your pelvic muscles.

Another thing you should know is that before you sneeze, cough or lift that you should squeeze these muscles and hold them until after the sneeze, cough or lifting action is completed, and then release the muscles. This can go far in helping you control a leaking bladder.

You will notice a difference in the strength of your pelvic muscles within a month to six weeks. In addition to helping you control a leaky bladder doing this exercise will strengthen your muscles and make it easier for you to have an orgasm. Having strong pelvic muscles can make your vagina sensitive to your partner and make sex a satisfying thing. If you are pregnant having strong pelvic muscles can make it easier to carry and deliver your baby.
