Kegel Exercise // Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor With Your Breath

Training your pelvic floor to squeeze on command is NOT how it works in real life! You need to teach your brain how to coordinate your pelvic floor WITH your lower abs AND your breath 🌬️. This method will give you the connection you're looking for to address leaking, pelvic pain or discomfort with intimacy.

Hello, thank you for your videos!
Just wondering if the lift and squeeze happens automatically with breath. Or is it an intentional strong lift and squeeze? I can feel a gentle lift up but I don’t notice much or a squeeze, maybe a subtle.

Is this meant only for women? Or even men can practice?

What about tightness? Can tailbone be achy after introducing kegels? Or should stop and focus on relaxtion?

Should I continue doing it tho I feel like peeing? I read somewhere that I shouldn't do kegel while having the urge to pee but I have problem controlling the urge even after going to the bathroom. How many times do I need to do this exercise per dag and how long till I can see the results?

O crap I can't feel anything down. This is very difficult for me!
