How-to Video: How to do a proper kegel (with model visuals!)

This might be one of the most important videos you watch today.

We’ll take you through how to do a kegel correctly (with a visual model so you can SEE what should be happening), and then guide you through the exercises.

Did you know there are actually THREE parts to doing a kegel?

1 – the RELEASE of the pelvic floor on the inhale

2 – the SQUEEZE of the external pelvic floor muscles and

3 – the LIFT of the internal pelvic floor muscles.

If you’re leaving out one of these three steps, you’re not getting the full benefit of your pelvic floor exercises.

Get ready to feel kegels like you’ve never felt them before!
