– Use the correct kegel technique lifting and squeezing your pelvic floor muscles in and around all three pelvic openings
– Relax your pelvic floor muscles
– Rest between exercises for up to 10 seconds
– Kegel exercises performed in a prone lying down position can help women increase pelvic floor strength and awareness of contraction in and around the urethra (urine tube).

Lying prone use a pillow under your hips especially if you are susceptible to low back pain. Alternatively lie on your side for these exercises if lying prone is uncomfortable.

Kegel Exercise Position 2
Lying prone with one leg bent and out to your side (only for women without hip problems).
Perform up to 3-4 kegel exercises up to 4 seconds for each exercise. Relax and rest between Kegels exercises.
Next, repeat 4 fast kegels in succession to complete this set of kegel exercises.
