Kegel Exercises
No sweat -- just commitment.

Kegel exercises are for the treatment of stress incontinence:
  1. During urination try to stop and start the urine flow. At the end of the exercises make sure you empty your bladder totally.
  2. Tighten your anal muscles as if stopping gas from coming out. Then shift tightness from the rear to the front (vaginal) area.
  3. Tighten your vaginal muscles around two fingers inserted into the vagina or a tampon inserted halfway into the vagina.
Contract these muscles 50 to 100 times daily.

Before coughing or sneezing, contract these muscles.

Expect results after eight weeks of exercising.

BE PATIENT!
