How to Do Kegel Exercises for Stronger Pelvic Muscles

Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, uterus, and bowels. They help with urinary incontinence, vaginal tightness, postpartum recovery, and even enhanced sexual function.


Step-by-Step Guide to Doing Kegel Exercises

1️⃣ Find the Right Muscles

  • The easiest way to locate your pelvic muscles is by stopping urination midstream. The muscles you engage are the ones you need to strengthen.
  • Another way is to imagine holding in gas—the squeeze you feel in your lower pelvis is the right contraction.

2️⃣ Perfect Your Technique

  • Once you've identified the right muscles, contract them for 3-5 seconds, then relax for the same duration.
  • Avoid tightening your abdomen, thighs, or buttocks—only your pelvic floor should be engaged.
  • Breathe normally during the exercise.

3️⃣ Repeat and Hold

  • Start with 10 repetitions, 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening).
  • Gradually increase the hold time to 10 seconds as you build strength.

Kegel Exercise Variations for Better Results

Quick Squeezes – Contract and release your pelvic muscles rapidly for 10-15 reps. Improves bladder control.
Slow Holds – Squeeze and hold for 5-10 seconds, then slowly release. Helps with vaginal tightness.
Bridge with Kegels – Perform a glute bridge while engaging your Kegel muscles for extra strengthening.
