Breathing and kegel exercises

You are supposed to breathe deeply into your stomach so that your stomach expands and then hold your keagle. It has more area to tighten when you do this.

Thanks, That is what I have been doing. Then I saw some videos suggesting that I should breath normally while holding my kegle.

I got the breathing instructions. I’m telling you about from a personal trainer I went to, who specializes in incontinence and strengthening your pelvic muscles using kagles.

The most difficult one is, while sitting, take a deep breath into stomach and start to clench and stand up While doing it. Hold for 10 seconds and then sit down releasing.

And how many times ? : )

Two sets of 10.
This was after doing a couple of other two sets of 10 exercises first. Laying, then sitting, then above the standing listed in the previous message.

Just want to make sure I understand: you are breathing out, and holding your breath ( not breathing in) while you are flexing your kegel muscles for ten seconds: right?

In other words, you breath in after the ten second hold is over. Correct?

You are breathing in making your stomach expand before every kagle you do. No matter how you do it that is how you must start according to the Physical therapist.

and you hold your breath during the kegel?

Yes, let go as you finish the 10 seconds.
